The Philadelphia Eagles are banged-up heading into their marquee matchup against the Dallas Cowboys this week. Top players like Jordan Mailata won't be playing, and other veteran stars like A.J.
Brown are coming in with lingering issues overall. In the case of Brown, his knee injury is something to watch as the season progresses. © Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports The good news for the Birds is that the injury report isn't as bad as many people think.
During a walkthrough on Wednesday afternoon, the Eagles listed A.J. Brown as a limited participant as well as other stars like Saquon Barkley, Cam Jurgens, Darius Slay, and Jalen Hurts.
In the case of Hurts, the quarterback received a rest day Wednesday as he prepares for a showdown against the Cowboys with edge rushing star Micah Parsons expected to return to the field moving forward. Without Mailata, the Eagles have a clear concern surrounding Parsons' return to the field. Making matters even harder is the fact that Fred Johnson is nursing a knee injury that left him limited in practice, as well as saw wide receiver DeVonta Smith, and edge rusher Nolan Smith out of practice due to their own injuries.
Now Dallas is as injured as Philadelphia coming into this game. CeeDee Lamb has an AC joint injury and the team will be without quarterback Dak Prescott in this game. Related: Eagles 'Not Afraid' Of Youth Movement vs.
