The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for their third game in just 14 days, and there’s a bit of good news heading into their Thanksgiving Day matchup against the New York Giants. After missing nearly two months with an injury, wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been activated from the injured reserve, providing a much-needed boost to the Cowboys’ offense.
Cooks, who has been sidelined since Week 4 due to a knee infection, is expected to bring some added speed and playmaking ability to a Dallas offense that has struggled to find consistency this season. His return comes at a crucial time for the Cowboys, who are desperately trying to salvage what’s been a tough year, marked by injuries and underperformance.

With the Cowboys’ playoff hopes slim, this Thanksgiving game represents a chance to show resilience and fight for a strong finish to the season. Cooks’ return could spark the offense and give quarterback Dak Prescott another weapon to work with, just as the team faces division rivals the Giants.
Though the Cowboys’ postseason chances are fading fast, Cowboys fans will be hoping that the return of Cooks can inject some energy into the team and lead to a much-needed win on Turkey Day. As the team looks to finish strong despite a rocky season, Cooks’ availability is a welcome development for a squad that continues to fight through adversity.
