The Dallas Cowboys have been bosted with some outstanding news ahead of Thursday's matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Injuries have been a thorn on the Cowboys' side for pretty much the entire season, but it sounds like Lady Luck is now starting to smile on them.
According to reports, all three of the Cowboys' top wide receivers will be available for Thursday night (h/t Fox Sports: NFL on Twitter):

Amari Cooper missed Dallas' Week 12 overtime loss to the Las Vegas Raiders after testing positive for COVID-19 a couple of weeks ago. The Cowboys recently activated the 27-year-old off the reserve/COVID-19 list but was initially given the questionable tag against the Saints. Barring any unforeseen setbacks, however, Cooper is now expected to take the field for the Cowboys on Thursday.
Similarly, CeeDee Lamb was also forced to sit out Dallas' Week 12 loss after being placed in the league's concussion protocol. He's been a full participant in practice this week, and as reported above, he's good to go for Thursday as well.
Michael Gallup, on the other hand, missed virtually the entire first half of the season due to a calf injury. The Cowboys got him back in Week 10 and has since been working his way back to top form.
That's not all she wrote for the Cowboys, though. 29-year-old DL DeMarcus Lawrence, who underwent surgery early in the season after breaking his foot in practice, will also be available. There was some fear that Lawrence could be done for the season so the fact that he's now back is definitely a welcome development for Dallas.

The Cowboys are currently sitting at the top spot in the NFC East with a 7-4 record. They will hope to extend their lead atop with a win against the Saints in Week 13.
