Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee has battled hamstring injuries throughout his career, and he suffered another one on Sunday that is expected to keep him out a while.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Lee will likely miss “a few weeks at least” with his latest hamstring issue.
#Cowboys LB Sean Lee, who injured his other hamstring last night, is expected to miss a few weeks at least, sources say. First-round LB Leighton Vander Esch becomes all more important.

Lee did not sound optimistic when speaking to reporters after the Dallas Cowboys’ loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, and now we know why. He also tweaked his hamstring in Week 2, but Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said that was more of a cramp and it was the other leg.
So Jason Garrett said Sean Lee's injury on Sunday was to the other hamstring, not the one had "a cramp" in last week. Damb@1053thefan

Lee is arguably the most important player on the Cowboys’ defense when healthy, but he has had trouble staying on the field. He’s an unquestioned leader in Dallas and was actually blamed for running Dez Bryant out of town. The Cowboys allowed a bad offense to score 24 points on Sunday, so they’ll need Lee back as soon as possible.
