The Houston Texans are closely watching the health of several key players as they prepare for their Monday Night Football matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Starting cornerbacks Derek Stingley Jr. and Kamari Lassiter are dealing with injuries, raising concerns for the team's defense.

Stingley is facing a new hip injury, while Lassiter is in concussion protocol after a strong performance last week. Defensive tackle Foley Fatukasi and edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. are also sidelined with injuries. Quarterback C.J. Stroud, despite being listed with a hand injury, practiced fully and is expected to play.
