The Dallas Cowboys will enter their classic Thanksgiving matchup in Week 12 mostly intact, only missing safety Jayron Kearse, who is out with a back injury after not practicing this week. Kearse not playing is notable because with linebacker Leighton Vander Esch out, he has been the green dot, defensive signal-caller. That responsibility will now likely fall on safety Malik Hooker.
Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) practiced fully on Tuesday and Wednesday after being limited on Monday, and he will play. Lamb told everyone as much on Tuesday.
"I'm straight up," Lamb said when asked about his inury. "I will be out there."
