This week the Cowboys get some fantastic news; the return of Tyron Smith. The Pro Bowl left tackle has been out the past three weeks with an ankle injury. He returned to practice this week and as of today has been removed from the injury report altogether, signaling he will play against the Raiders on Thanksgiving Day.

The 31-year-old Smith has been to seven Pro Bowls and been named an All Pro thrice in his first ten NFL seasons. So, obviously his return is a huge deal for the Cowboys.
Dallas had gone 6-1 in their first seven games with Smith at left tackle. They have gone 1-2 the past three without him.
The Cowboys got some more potential good news today with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb taking the practice field. He had been missing practice in the concussion protocol, putting his status very much in doubt on a short week.
Lamb is officially questionable for the game, and the Cowboys will need him especially with Amari Cooper set to miss the game due to being on the reserve/COVI-19 list and not being vaccinated. They also have Michael Gallup who is as very capable starter.
