**Wednesday Notes:**
– **Dallas Goedert** was a full participant after being held out for rest until his hamstring was near 100%. He’s good to go for Sunday.
– **DeVonta Smith** participated in the stretching portion of practice and appeared fine. His status remains day-to-day, and there’s no major concern unless he misses additional practice.
– **A.J. Brown**, who was expected to rest, participated with a limited designation but should be ready for Sunday.
– **Fred Johnson** was seen wearing a knee brace after a hit on Jalen Hurts’ TD run last week. The team worked through contingency plans with **Tyler Steen** and **Jack Driscoll** getting reps at left tackle.
– **Jalen Hurts** and **Saquon Barkley** were given rest days.

**Other Notable Injuries:**
– **LT Jordan Mailata** (IR) remains out but is eligible to return next week.
– **WR Britain Covey** (IR), the team’s primary punt returner, is also out.
– **S James Bradberry** (IR) will be sidelined for 6-8 weeks with a lower-body injury.

### **Dallas Cowboys Injury Report**
| **Player** | **Injury** | **Wed** | **Thurs** | **Fri** | **Status** |
|————————-|————–|———–|———–|———|————|
| QB Dak Prescott | Hamstring | DNP | | | |
| CB DaRon Bland | Foot | DNP | | | |
| RG Zack Martin | Shoulder | DNP | | | |
| LB Eric Kendricks | Shoulder | DNP | | | |
| LB Nick Vigil | Foot | DNP | | | |
| S Juanyeh Thomas | Concussion | DNP | | | |
| EDGE Micah Parsons | Ankle | Limited | | | |
| WR CeeDee Lamb | Shoulder | Limited | | | |
| CB Trevon Diggs | Calf | Limited | | | |
| LT Tyler Guyton | Neck/Shoulder| Limited | | | |
| DT Linval Joseph | Back | Full | | | |
| CB Caelen Carson | Shoulder | Full | | | |

**Wednesday Notes:**
– **Dak Prescott** (hamstring) sustained an injury in Week 9, leaving the game early. He is expected to miss “multiple weeks,” so **Cooper Rush** will likely start in his place.
– **Micah Parsons** (ankle) hasn’t played since Week 4 but is expected to return this week against the Eagles.
– **CeeDee Lamb** (shoulder) is nursing an injury but participated fully on Wednesday and is expected to play.
– **DaRon Bland**, who had 9 interceptions and 5 pick-sixes in 2023, is still recovering from a foot injury and has yet to appear this season.
– **Zack Martin**, a longtime starter at right guard, was absent from practice but played through a similar injury last week.
– **Trevon Diggs** (calf) missed last week’s practice but played in the loss to the Falcons and should be good to go.

**Other Notable Injuries:**
– **WR Brandin Cooks** is on IR with a knee infection.
– **DE DeMarcus Lawrence** was placed on IR with a Lisfranc injury and will be out 4-8 weeks.
– **DE Sam Williams** (torn ACL/MCL) is out for the season.
– **DE Marshawn Kneeland** (meniscus tear) is out for now but could return after the Eagles game.
– **CB Amani Oruwariye** has played in a few games this season due to other injuries and has been a solid contributor.
– **OL Chuma Edoga** is dealing with a toe injury.

Both teams are dealing with a mix of key injuries, but the Eagles seem to have more depth on the injury front, particularly with **DeVonta Smith**, **A.J. Brown**, and several defensive players limited or resting. The Cowboys are facing bigger concerns, especially with **Dak Prescott**’s absence and the status of several starters on defense. The outcome of this matchup may hinge on the effectiveness of each team’s backups and the availability of their star players.
