Kearse's status for the game against the Texans is in question.

If Kearse is unable to play, the Cowboys may only have three safeties available.

Donovan Wilson, Malik Hooker and Israel Mukuamu would be in line to fill in for Kearse.

The Cowboys were already thin in their secondary, with Jourdan Lewis and Anthony Brown out for the season.

The injury occurred too close to game time for Markquese Bell to be ready to play.

Kearse was helped to the locker room after the injury, but later returned to the field to work with trainers.

The Cowboys will be hoping Kearse can play, or their defense could be in for a tough game against the Texans.

The status of Kearse's injury is still unclear and will be a key factor in the game.

The Cowboys will need to adjust their game plan if Kearse is unable to play.
