The bad news for a Cowboys defense that doesn’t need it keeps coming in.

According to Mike Garafolo of the FOX Sports, Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee will miss three to four weeks because of a hamstring injury suffered last night.

That’s the last thing the Cowboys needed after giving up 625 yards and 40 first downs to the Saints, as they try to recover and realize they’re still tied for the NFC East lead.

But it also fits with the profile of the season, as injuries have decimated them from the start, mostly in the front of a revamped 4-3 defense.
