While the duo is a welcome addition to the lineup, Houston (6-4) could be without two starters in the secondary. rookie cornerback suffered a concussion in the third quarter of the loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 10 and remains in the league's protocol.
Fellow cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. is coming off an injury and could miss the Lone Star Battle, which should be a must-win game for Houston.
Here's an update on the Texans' star defenseman ahead of his fourth primetime game.
Derek Stingley Jr. injury update
Stingley, a third-year senior who hasn't missed a game, didn't practice during Thursday's open session. He was listed on the team's report with a hip injury and now enters the week as questionable.
Since the Texans have an additional day of training, everything is pushed back by one day. Typically, Thursdays give a better indication of a player's status as they are the busiest training sessions of the week. Stingley's status on Friday could determine whether he plays at AT&T Stadium on Monday night.
How long will Derek Stingley be out?
AccordinglyStingley has nothing serious to do and is expected to play against the Cowboys. Even if he's limited in practice this week, he'll likely return for Saturday's walkthrough before the team rules him out one way or another.
If Stingley misses Monday's game, the status of a Nov. 24 game against the Tennessee Titans would be in question. Houston would only have two full days of practice before having to release the final injury report on Friday.
The fact that Derek Stingley and Kamari Lassiter are both out of practice is obviously concerning.
Will Anderson wasn't himself when he suffered a strain injury last year. You have to be overly careful with him.

Texans CB depth chart
With Stingley and Lassiter potentially out, here are the remaining cornerbacks on the active roster:
- Jeff Okudah
- Kris Boyd
Okudah, who signed a one-year deal this offseason after four years with the Lions and Atlanta Falcons, was expected to return to practice from injured reserve last week. As he practices, the former No. 3 overall pick has not yet been added to the roster.
The Texans could also promote D'Angelo Ross, who was re-signed to the practice squad earlier this week. He started two games in place of Lassiter as the second-round pick struggled with a shoulder injury.
Kickoff at AT&T Stadium is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN and ABC.
