IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Henry Melton is active and expected to return to his starting spot Sunday against the Houston Texans.
Melton had been listed as questionable with a hamstring injury. He was limited in practice during the week. In last week’s win against the New Orleans Saints, Melton was active but Tyrone Crawford started at defensive tackle.
The only announced change in the starting lineup is rookie Anthony Hitchens at strongside linebacker for Bruce Carter, who is out with a quadriceps injury.
Also inactive for the Cowboys are: QB Dustin Vaughan, OT Donald Hawkins, DE Lavar Edwards, LB Korey Toomer, DT Davon Coleman and DT Ken Bishop.
Terrell McClain took the final defensive line spot from Bishop, who was active for the first four games of the season. McClain did not play last week because of a concussion.
