In this important Week 11 NFC East matchup for the team in blue, the Dallas Cowboys face the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field. In a game that is full of high-stakes for Dallas, both the Cowboys and Redskins have several key injuries that will factor into this huge game.

Out for Cowboys: WR Miles Austin, CB Mike Jenkins, FB Tony Fiammetta

Austin will miss his second straight game with a hamstring injury, meaning Laurent Robinson will be another major factor this week. Also out with a hamstring injury, Jenkins will now miss his third straight game. Fiammetta is typically the team's starting fullback and will be out with an illness.

Out for Redskins: LB Keyaron Fox, WR Santana Moss, WR Niles Paul

Moss, the team's No. 1 receiver, is still out with a hand injury and will miss his fourth straight game. With the recent season-ending injury to Leonard Hankerson, the Redskins will likely start Jabar Gaffney and Anthony Armstrong at wide receiver. Fox and Paul are both backup players who have contributed little so far this season.

Doubtful for Cowboys: QB Jon Kitna

Listed as doubtful with a back injury, Kitna has not thrown a pass since Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers. Tony Romo is not listed on the injury list, meaning Kitna will most likely not factor in this game.

Doubtful for Redskins: None

Questionable for Cowboys: RB Felix Jones, G Kyle Kosier

Still ailing from his ankle injury, Jones is questionable for the game but is expected to return from a four-game absence. That being said, rookie DeMarco Murray will remain No. 1 on the depth chart, as he leads all NFL running backs with 6.7 yards per carry. Kosier is the team's starting right guard and will most likely be replaced by Derrick Dockery if he is unable to play.

Questionable for Redskins: T Jammal Brown, G Maurice Hurt, S LaRon Landry, T Sean Locklear

Landry is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys with an Achilles injury. An important defender in the Redskins secondary, Landry also missed the first two games of the season. The three offensive linemen who are listed as questionable include the team's starting left guard (Hurt), right tackle (Brown), and backup tackle (Locklear) and would cause huge problems if all three could not play.

Probable for Cowboys: LB Sean Lee, P Mat McBriar

After missing Weeks 8 and 9 with a wrist injury, Lee returned to the field with a club over his injured wrist to make four tackles against the Buffalo Bills last week. McBriar is healthy enough to attempt punts with the nerve damage in his left foot, but the Cowboys will have Romo hold field goal and extra point attempts to minimize the stress on their punter.

Probable for Redskins: S Oshiomogho Atogwe, RB Tashard Choice, S Reed Doughty, LB London Fletcher, TE Logan Paulsen

Atogwe and Fletcher, two of the team's main contributors on defense, should be healthy enough to play. If Landry is unable to play, Doughty will likely play in his place. Newcomer Choice will likely get his first opportunity to see action for the Redskins after overcoming a hamstring injury and Paulsen should be available if needed with his minor shoulder injury.
