Both teams sit 2-4, but Philadelphia’s woes deepen as QB Jalen Hurts is out for the season, leaving Tanner McKee to lead a roster missing Devonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, though Saquon Barkley returns to the backfield. Dallas, under Brian Schottenheimer, has struggled offensively and can’t rely on being favorites without improving its defense.

The Carolina Panthers mocked analyst Chris Simms on X after a 25-14 win over the Eagles, only to be blown out 43-13 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a week later. Tampa racked up 258 rushing yards, forced four turnovers and even returned a blocked extra point for a defensive two‑point conversion. Simms retaliated on PFT Live and Twitter, calling the Panthers "wussy wussy wussy cats" and labeling the loss a massive butt‑whopping. He now teases the Panthers’ next chance at redemption against the Green Bay Packers, warning them to log off if they fail again.
Saquon Barkley is finally cleared to play in the Eagles’ Week 7 Monday Night Football showdown against the Dallas Cowboys, after missing the first six games with a hamstring injury. The 29‑year‑old running back, who has logged just 182 yards on 36 carries (45.5 ypg) this season, replaces Dameon Pierce on the depth chart, with Elijah Mitchell moving to third string. Eagles injuries have plagued the team, and Barkley’s return gives Philadelphia a chance to boost a struggling offense against a questionable Cowboys defense.
The Philadelphia Eagles reveal their Week 7 inactives ahead of Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys. DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Nolan Smith, Michael Carter II, Jake Majors and emergency QB Cole Payton sit out. Notably, star RB Saquon Barkley, listed as questionable, confirms he feels good enough to play, though he’s not at 100%.

Monday Night Football pits the Philadelphia Eagles against the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 26, 2026 at 8:15 PM ET on ABC/ESPN. Both teams are desperate for a win: the Eagles are 0‑4, dealing with injuries and Jalen Hurts out for the season, while backup QB Tanner McKee steps in; the Cowboys aim to break a two‑game skid with Dak Prescott, who boasts a 10‑5 record and 26 TDs against Philadelphia. Key players include Cowboys receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens and Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean.

The Philadelphia Eagles enter Week 7’s Monday Night Football showdown with the Dallas Cowboys without star quarterback Jalen Hurts, who has been ruled out for the season after being diagnosed with deep‑vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli. Tanner McKee steps in as starter, with Cole Payton as the new primary backup. The NFL and NFLPA are probing whether the Eagles’ medical staff cleared Hurts to travel to London despite the seriousness of his condition. Philadelphia also battles a rash of injuries, including Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, and key defensive players.
The 2-4 Dallas Cowboys head to Lincoln Financial Stadium for Monday Night Football against a 2-4 Philadelphia Eagles. With the Eagles’ run defense ranked 28th (44.2% success) and backup QB Tanner McKee lacking mobility, the Cowboys’ game plan hinges on a dominant ground attack while keeping Dak Prescott’s passes under 50. Saquon Barkley returns, but his boom‑or‑bust potential and a depleted Eagles offensive line give Dallas a chance to curb the run. Containing tight end Dallas Goedert and avoiding big plays from backups like Hollywood Brown are also key. Coach Brian Schottenheimer must balance run pressure and smart coverage to exploit Philadelphia’s injury‑hit roster.
Dallas Cowboys legend Michael Irvin pins most of the recent offensive decline on quarterback Dak Prescott ahead of Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles. After a 2‑4 start, the Cowboys' once‑potent offense, which averaged 30.5 points in the first four games, has sputtered, scoring just 29 points combined in losses to Tampa Bay and Green Bay. Irvin blames Prescott’s poor reads and four interceptions in the last two games, while also noting the offensive line’s struggles with guard Tyler Smith’s return. The Eagles, also 2‑4, present a make‑or‑break test for the Cowboys.
The Phillies have appointed former Red Sox hitting coach Peter Fatse as their new hitting instructor, according to The Athletic’s Charlotte Varnes. Fatse began as the Twins’ hitting coordinator in 2019, joined Boston thereafter, and served as Red Sox hitting coach from 2022 until the staff overhaul in April 2026. During his tenure, Boston ranked 14th in wRC+, with highlights like Tyler O’Neill’s career‑best .847 OPS in 2023 and Ceddanne Rafaela’s emergence. The hire also ties him to Alex Cora, who recently declined the Phillies’ managerial overtures.

The Philadelphia Eagles will start Monday Night Football without top receiver DeVonta Smith, who is ruled out with a lingering hamstring injury. The 27‑year‑old missed all practice this week, and head coach Nick Sirianni opts for long‑term health over short‑term gain. The Eagles also lose rookie wideout Dontayvion Wicks to an ankle issue, leaving the passing attack depleted. Veteran tight end Dallas Goedert (17 catches, 180 yards, 2 TDs) becomes the primary target, while young wideout Makai Lemon is expected to see a boost in snaps. Smith currently leads the team with 310 yards and two touchdowns in four games.

Former Celtics forward Brian Scalabrine alleges that Jaylen Brown demanded a trade—complete with a list of demands and a wish to land in Milwaukee—contradicting earlier reports that he never requested a move. The claim emerges as Brown’s July 1 trade to the 76ers fuels a growing feud with Jayson Tatum, who says he reached out after the deal while Brown replies with a cryptic “no beef” comment. With both sides offering differing narratives and the duo set to meet on Nov. 10 in Philadelphia, the dispute adds intrigue to Brown’s exit and the Celtics’ roster shake‑up.

The Philadelphia Eagles, now 2-4 after Jalen Hurts' season-ending blood‑clot issues, are weighing a trade for star running back Saquon Barkley. A proposed deal would send Barkley to the Denver Broncos for J.K. Dobbins, a 2027 second‑round pick and a 2027 fifth‑round pick. While Denver, fresh off a 30‑16 win over Arizona, hopes Barkley can boost Sean Payton’s offense, the trade raises salary‑cap concerns given Barkley's $41.2 million extension through 2028. The Eagles would gain draft capital and a cheaper back, but must absorb contract penalties. The article breaks down the financial and roster implications for both clubs.
In Week 7 the Cowboys face a crucial test against the Eagles, putting head coach Brian Schottenheimer under the microscope as his play‑calling is on the line. Dallas enters fully healthy on offense while the Eagles’ defense, ranked 25th in EPA/play and missing Nolan Smith to concussion, shows signs of decline. The article highlights Vic Fangio’s coverage‑first scheme, expecting less exotic blitzing than in recent games, and advises the Cowboys to attack early with runs toward AJ Epenesa or Arnold Ebikete. Success hinges on Schottenheimer delivering elite play‑calling to revive the team’s consistency.
Tyrese Maxey earns the NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week honor for the Oct. 20‑25 stretch after sparking the 76ers to a 3‑1 start to the 2026‑27 season.

The Philadelphia Eagles regain three players from injured reserve ahead of their Week 7 Monday Night Football showdown with the Dallas Cowboys. Tight ends Grant Calcaterra and Eli Stowers, along with guard Landon Dickerson, are cleared to play, while OLB Keyshawn James-Newby and RB Elijah Mitchell are also elevated.

The moves come as Dallas’s backup tight end Zach Ertz remains unavailable unless signed to the active roster.
The Philadelphia Eagles announce six roster changes ahead of their Week 7 Monday night showdown with the Dallas Cowboys. Offensive guard Landon Dickerson, tight ends Grant Calcaterra and Eli Stowers are activated from injured reserve, with Stowers set for his NFL debut.

The New England Patriots have re‑signed 27‑year‑old edge rusher Jose Ramirez to their practice squad, freeing up a spot by cutting 24‑year‑old offensive lineman Jacob Rizy.

Rizy, a former Harvard and Florida State lineman, played 155 preseason snaps before his release. The moves come ahead of the Patriots’ next divisional game against the Miami Dolphins.
