Marshon Lattimore left the New Orleans Saints season opener with a hamstring injury that has kept him out of practice leading up to the game versus the Dallas Cowboys. Right now, he's a game-time decision.

Dennis Allen has his vision of how things will go this week with his star cornerback. Allen's vision: "Lattimore's on the trip. We'll see where he's at on game day. If we feel like he's appropriate to play, he'll be out there."

Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb are on the other side. You'd like a world where Alontae Taylor, Paulson Adebo and Lattimore are on the field to stop Lamb and company. Former Saint Brandin Cooks doesn't receive the headlines, but he's continued to be a solid wide receiver through his tenure.

Being down Lattimore, would push Kool-Aid McKinstry into the starting lineup. This would be the definition of baptism by fire. They'd likely look to test him specifically with Lamb in order to see how the rookie responds.

Lattimore making the trip keeps the optimism alive and all parties involved will know if he can play a couple hours before kickoff.
