The play ultimately did not count due to offsetting penalties. In the process, Lamb&#8217;s lower leg got caught underneath Sewell. The Cowboys&#8217; star struggled to get to his feet before eventually getting helped to the sideline.<\/p>\n<p>Once on the sideline, Lamb started receiving medical attention and got his ankle heavily taped. He returned to the game but only for one play, when it was apparent he couldn&#8217;t continue.<\/p>\n<p>Lamb, a Pro Bowler each of the last four seasons, entered Week 3 with 16 receptions for 222 yards. After struggling with drops in Week 1, he posted nine catches for 112 yards in a Week 2 win over the <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/teams\/NYG\/new-york-giants\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Giants<\/a>.
