The Dallas Cowboys have a bit of a mystery early on in the Week 11 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

On the team’s opening drive, wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were not on the field. The ESPN broadcast later revealed it was a coach’s decision, although the reason behind that decision wasn’t revealed.

That has aided in the slow starts both Pickens and Lamb are off to, but that isn’t the only reason.

Is CeeDee Lamb playing tonight?

UPDATE: Lamb received his first target on the Cowboys’ third series, but he and Dak Prescott couldn’t connect.

Yes, Lamb is active and now he’s playing.

Lamb did not see the field at all on the opening series and the Cowboys’ second drive ended early because of a fumble, so it’s no surprise he hasn’t gotten going yet.

We’ll see if Lamb can get going on drive No. 3.
