The Dallas Cowboys will be without wide receiver CeeDee Lamb for their Thanksgiving Day matchup against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders, multiple sources reported early Thursday.
The Cowboys were hopeful they would get Lamb on the field on Turkey Day after he participated in a limited practice on Wednesday. The 22-year-old wideout sustained a concussion in last weekend's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and was absent from practice on Monday and Tuesday.
Scoopage The @dallascowboys will be without CeeDee Lamb as he wasn’t able to pass the final steps of concussion protocol so he will be out. @NFLonFOX

The Cowboys will be without CeeDee Lamb today against the Raiders, sources confirmed. While sources said he cleared protocol, had he suffered another concussion in such a short time period he could miss more time going forward. Everyone erring on side of caution.

Lamb is just one member of the Dallas football squad that will be missing from the gridiron on Thursday. In addition to Lamb and fellow wideout Amari Cooper (COVID/reserve) being sidelined, the Cowboys will also be down a few coaches due to COVID.
More rough news for Dallas, already without Amari Cooper (Covid), Dallas will now be without three assistant coaches out today bc of COVID, including asst head coach/offensive line coach Joe Philbin who tested positive for today after feeling symptoms @NFLonFOX
