– **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.

– **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.

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.
