Texans Injury Report: Good News, Bad News Ahead of Cowboys Clash

Good News

The Texans received some positive news on the injury front this week, as several key players are expected to return to action against the Dallas Cowboys. Wide receiver Brandin Cooks, who missed last week's game with a calf injury, has been cleared to play and is expected to start. Cooks is the Texans' leading receiver this season, and his return will provide a much-needed boost to the offense.

In addition to Cooks, running back Dameon Pierce is also expected to return after missing the last two games with an ankle injury. Pierce has been the Texans' most consistent offensive player this season, and his return will give the team a much-needed spark in the running game.

Finally, cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. is also expected to make his season debut against the Cowboys. Stingley, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, has been sidelined with a hamstring injury. His return will give the Texans a much-needed boost in the secondary.

Bad News

While the Texans received some good news on the injury front, they also received some bad news. Defensive end Jonathan Greenard has been ruled out for the game against the Cowboys with a calf injury. Greenard is the Texans' leading pass rusher this season, and his absence will be a significant blow to the defense.

In addition to Greenard, safety Jalen Pitre is also expected to miss the game against the Cowboys with a shoulder injury. Pitre is the Texans' leading tackler this season, and his absence will be a big loss for the defense.

The Texans will be hoping to overcome their injuries and pull off an upset against the Cowboys. The Cowboys are a heavy favorite in the game, but the Texans have a history of playing well against their division rivals.
