Dallas Cowboys receiver and return specialist KaVontae Turpin sustained a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's lopsided loss to San Francisco, NFL Network reported Monday.

Turpin, 27, scored the Cowboys' only touchdown with a 26-yard reception in the second quarter of a 42-10 setback against the 49ers.

He will have an MRI to determine the severity of the sprain but a typical absence for such an injury is 4-6 weeks, per the report.

Turpin has caught five passes for 51 yards and a touchdown and has rushed six times for 66 yards and a score in five games this season. He has also returned five punts for 30 yards and two kickoffs for 33 yards.
