Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee is expected to miss at least a few weeks with a hamstring injury, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Lee suffered the injury during the second half of Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

The linebacker has been hobbled by injuries recently, missing 23 games over the last five seasons. He was originally questionable for Dallas' Week 3 tilt with another sore hamstring; the most recent injury is to his other leg.

Leighton Vander Esch, who the Cowboys selected in the first round this past April, is expected to play significant snaps in Lee's place. Jaylon Smith will also see his role increase.

Lee has accumulated 20 tackles and half a sack in 2018.
