The Dallas Cowboys will have a huge boost for their postseason push, as Jerry Jones told Calvin Watkins of ESPN Dallas that linebacker Sean Lee is set to return this week for a Monday Night Football matchup against the Chicago Bears.
Sean Lee injury: Cowboys LB will return for Monday Night Football
Gregory Shamus
Lee, 27, has been out of the Dallas lineup since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 10. Without Lee, the Cowboys have earned back-to-back victories, but the defense is undeniably better with Lee in. The fourth-year linebacker was in contention for the AP Defensive Player of the Year Award prior to his injury, although he still has a legitimate argument for the award.
A second-round selection in the 2010 NFL Draft, Lee accumulated four interceptions, six passes defended and a fumble recovery in the first 10 games of the season, including an interception returned for a touchdown.
No team has allowed more yardage than the Cowboys, although they rank 22nd in the NFL in points allowed. The team is currently tied with the Philadelphia Eagles for first in the NFC East.
