Texans vs Cowboys NFL week 14 injury report: Tyron Smith and Kelvin Johnson
With the All-Texas game a day away, we take a look at the injury report of the Texans-Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys (9-3) are coming off a 54-19 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Dec. 4, while the Houston Texans (1-10-1) were defeated by the Cleveland Browns on Sunday ( 27-14).
The Texans started off strong against the Browns last week but their offense could not get them anywhere. They currently rank second-worst in points per game (15.7).
The Cowboys, on the other hand, have been winning games this season with a dominating offense, as well as an overwhelming defense.
Cowboys injury report
The Cowboys look as healthy as they have all season, except for two players who carried an injury following Friday’s practice: Anthony Brown and Leighton Vander Esch.
Brown is out for the season after tearing an Achilles tendon against the Colts; he is expected to miss the rest of the season. LB Vander Esch is listed as questionable for Sunday due to illness.
Cowboys wide receiver James Washington is questionable, however, he’s likely to suit up for Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.
Cowboys WR James Washington continues to impress in practice and could make his team debut Sunday vs. Texans. "It’s kind of like a kid waiting on Christmas. I’ve been waiting to put the star on my helmet since I signed here.” https://t.co/gPqlfTlZUz
