A look at who was able to participate in practice on Thursday, ahead of Cowboys-Texans, and to what degree. | From @KDDrummondNFL

The Dallas Cowboys began game week Thursday for their upcoming Monday night matchup against the Houston Texans. The first injury report of the week for America's Team doesn't inspire a ton of confidence in the Cowboys' ability to snap their four-game losing streak this week.

The Houston Texans are coming off a heartbreaking last-second loss to the Detroit Lions. They have now lost two straight games and are hitting the road to take on the Dallas Cowboys in the Battle of Texas.

The Cowboys had won 16 consecutive games at home until being blown out by the Green Bay Packers in a wild-card playoff game. Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy’s job security is an open debate inside and outside of The Star, the team’s training facility.

The Dallas Cowboys prepare to face their in-state rivals as the Houston Texans visit AT&T Stadium for Week 11 of the NFL season. The Cowboys were humbled by the Philadelphia Eagles last week 34-6, thanks to five turnovers and an offense that couldn't muster anything without quarterback Dak Prescott.

The Dallas Cowboys (3-6) head into Week 11 attempting to stop a four-game losing streak. They're also looking for their first win at home this season after starting 0-4. Their opponent for Monday Night Football will be the Houston Texans (6-4) who have lost two in a row and three of their past four.
