The Dallas Cowboys (7-4) played their last game versus the Los Angeles Raiders on Thanksgiving without wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. He got a concussion in their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Thus, he missed the game versus the Raiders, but the Cowboys got some good news for their upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Cowboys will have the wide receiver back versus the Saints:
Cowboys’ WR CeeDee Lamb, who missed Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day game because of a concussion, is expected back for Dallas’ Thursday night game against the Saints, per source.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy had optimism that he will be rejoining the team, as reported by ESPN earlier this week. That optimism proved to be true, as the 22-year-old player will be back in the lineup.
This is especially important, due to the fact that Amari Cooper, their other starting wide receiver, was already out due to COVID-19 protocols. Without the pairing, chances were given to Cedric Wilson and Michael Gallup, who both recorded 100-yard games.
The Cowboys started the season with six wins in seven games, but they're 1-3 in their last four games. They will be facing a Saints team that is 5-6 and struggling in their own right with four straight losses. New Orleans will have a tougher job now that Lamb is set to be back in the fold for Dallas.
