Cowboys Defense Loses Sean Lee For Six Weeks
4 years agoDallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hernia) is expected to be out for six weeks after having hernia surgery last week in Philadelphia with specialist Dr. William Meyers, according to sources. Lee began the season on Injured Reserve and now may not return until mid-October. It's especially notable after Leighton Vander Esch broke his collarbone in the Week 1 loss to the Rams on Sunday night. The injuries to the middle of Dallas' defense will put more responsibility on both Jaylon Smith and Aldon Smith, with the latter being a bright spot in the season opener. Both Smiths will be in play as IDP starters at the position in Week 2, but the Cowboys Defense should be avoided against a strong Falcons passing attack.
