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 is on the board with his first catch in the second quarter and it went for a touchdown.

UPDATE: We're through one quarter and Lamb is stuck on zero targets and one catch. Meanwhile, Dak is heavily targeting Pickens.

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.
