The Dallas Cowboys are looking to end a four-game losing streak in Week 11 against the Houston Texans. They're also trying to secure their first win at home this season — a tough task with the Houston Texans heading to AT&T Stadium.

Houston is 6-4 and while they have a strong roster, they're not unbeatable. They head into the showdown on Monday Night Football on the heels of back-to-back losses.

Will C.J. Stroud play against the Cowboys?

For Cowboys fans hoping to see Cooper Rush take on Davis Mills, they might not want to hold their breath. Despite the injury, Stroud was a full participant in practice.

Stroud, who started the season on fire, has struggled over the past four weeks.

He's hopeful the expected return of Nico Collins will help him get back on track. Doing so would be easier if he's at 100 percent, which is why this is a situation worth monitoring even with him being a full participant.
