With a 7-4 record and rolling into Week 12 with a matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, an NFC East rival, the Washington Commanders are looking to prove themselves as a playoff team with a huge win.

The Commanders learned on Friday that they'd be without cornerback Marshon Lattimore as the four-time Pro Bowl arrived from the New Orleans Saints with a hamstring injury. He's now missing his third straight game since he was traded to Washington.

Here's how the Commanders' inactives played out for Week 12 against the Cowboys:

• QB Jeff Driskel (emergency third quarterback)
• CB Emmanual Forbes Jr.
• CB Marshon Lattimore
• LB Dominique Hampton
• OG Chris Paul

Emmanuel Forbes Jr. will be out alongside Lattimore, which is a big hit to the secondary.

The storyline that could determine the game is the Commanders' ability to get their rushing attack going early. Dallas has struggled to defend the run thus far, and Washington can expose that with their two solid running backs.

The Cowboys will be without two notable players as well -- as cornerback Trevon Diggs and offensive lineman Zack Martin stayed in the DFW with their injuries.
