Team news: Dallas Cowboys

Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle, who was limited this week with an ankle injury, is expected to go, source said. He's emerged as a complementary back to Tony Pollard.

Dowdle has received more work as of late, including 10+ carries in three of his last four outings. Consider him a low-end FLEX play on Thanksgiving.

Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb was estimated as a limited practice participant Monday with an ankle injury. But he was upgraded to full participation Tuesday and guarantees he will play Thanksgiving Day.

Lamb was quotes in the story as saying, “I’m straight. I’ll be out there,” Lamb said, via Todd Archer of ESPN. He's been perhaps the hottest fantasy player as of late and owners should again have high expectations heading into a game with the Commanders.

Cowboys have released RB Ronald Jones, they announced.

There were reports of this leading into Week 2. Jones was suspended for the first two weeks of the season but was able to come back today. However, the Cowboys are set up pretty good at RB with Pollard as the starter and youngsters like Dowdle and Vaughn as a supporting cast. Jones is still 26-years-old himself, and could provide depth on another roster at some point.
