The Cowboys, who host the in-state rival Texans, are in desperate need of a win after losing four straight to improve to 3-6 on the season.
Dak Prescott, the team's franchise quarterback who signed a contract extension this offseason to become the NFL's highest-paid signal-caller, will be out for the rest of the year after requiring surgery to repair a hamstring injury. It happened.
