The Cowboys (7-4) are in a bit of a rut and considering their circumstances, won't have an easy time getting out of it. Dallas makes this road trip while dealing with multiple COVID-19 cases. They have already been without offensive lineman Terrance Steele and now they won't have their head coach Mike McCarthy who tested positive on Monday. Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn will take over McCarthy's responsibilities Thursday night. Wide receiver Amari Cooper will make his return after two negative COVID tests. Cooper missed two games due to the virus.

The Saints (5-6) have been in free fall since Trevor Siemian took over for the injured  Jameis Winston in week eight. Siemian has gone 0-4 in his four starts and it seems Saints head coach Sean Payton has seen enough. Tayson Hill will start tonight for the Saints after taking first team reps this week at practice.  

Both teams enter this game after Thanksgiving day games last week. The Cowboys lost to the Raiders, 36-33 in overtime, while the Saints fell to the Bills 31-6. Dallas will try to get their ground game going against the Saints. The Cowboys have averaged just 73 yards-per-game over their last two. New Orleans is ranked third in the NFL in run defense, but has allowed 173 yards on average over the last two games.

Cowboys: Cedrick Wilson (WR), Will Grier (QB), Azur Kamara (DE)

Saints: Ian Book (QB), Tony Jones Jr. (RB), Alvin Kamara (RB), Kaden Elliss (LB), Ryan Ramczyk (OT), Terron Armstead (OT), Marcus Davenport (DE)
