Monday Night Football, Week 11. Tonight the Las Vegas Raiders host the Dallas Cowboys. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 8:15 p.m. EST.

The Dallas Cowboys received some great news on the inactives list ahead of the team's Week 11 showdown vs the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football.

The Cowboys field one of the worst defenses in football. They rank 31st in yards allowed per game, 31st in points allowed per game and 30th in passing yards allowed per game. The Cowboys are certainly hoping Hooker's return can help on all of those fronts.

Dallas announced safety Malik Hooker has been activated off of injured reserve for the Week 11 matchup with the Raiders. Hooker has been sidelined by a toe injury suffered Week 4. In his fifth season with the Cowboys, Hooker has registered 20 total tackles so far this season.

The Dallas Cowboys have made a series of roster moves ahead of Monday Night Football vs. the Raiders, with a starting defender being activated from IR.

The Cowboys are always a ratings draw, but they're below .500. The league will have to decide soon if they're worth a primetime slot in Week 15.
