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%. The Eagles' WR depth shifts to Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Elijah Moore, Hollywood Brown and Britain Covey, while edge rusher Jalyx Hunt and Jonathan Greenard also stay active.

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 article recommends streaming the game for free via Fubo’s trial, which carries all major NFL networks.
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.
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are suing My Chemical Romance after the band’s Hollywood Bowl shows featured dancers in costumes nearly identical to the squad’s blue‑and‑white uniforms, complete with fake rifles and a staged shootout. Pro Silver Star Ltd., the cheerleaders’ parent company, filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction in Dallas County on October 23, citing brand confusion and reputational harm, and seeking monetary damages. Despite the filing, the band reused the outfits for the October 23 performance and has two more shows scheduled for October 30‑31. The court’s decision on the restraining order remains pending.

This guide lists times, channels, and streaming options for fans looking to catch the massive multi‑sport lineup.
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.
The Dallas Cowboys travel to Philadelphia for a Week 7 Monday Night Football showdown against the Eagles on Oct. 26, 2026. Kickoff is at 7:15 p.m. CT (8:15 p.m. ET) at Lincoln Financial Field. The game airs nationwide on ESPN and ABC, streams via the ESPN app, Disney+, and NFL+ (mobile restrictions), and offers alternate casts with Peyton and Eli Manning on ESPN2 and an NFL Network Next Gen Stats show. Cowboys are 4½‑point road favorites (–220) as both teams sit 2‑4 in the NFC East, with the Eagles missing Jalen Hurts and key receivers, while Dallas deals with several injuries but leans on Dak Prescott’s 1,639 passing yards and Javonte Williams’ rushing TDs.
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.
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. Although the Eagles still lack top receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, the added tight ends should finally allow Sean Mannion to employ multi‑TE formations. 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. Edge rusher Keyshawn James‑Newby and running back Elijah Mitchell receive temporary practice‑squad elevations, while cornerback Jakorian Bennett remains out on IR. The moves address depth concerns at guard, tight end, edge, and running back as injuries limit Dallas Goedert and other players. The team also notes practice‑squad elevation limits for the season.
Waiver‑wire addition Bam Knight shines in Arizona’s 30‑16 loss to Denver, handling 43 of the Cardinals’ 53% offensive snaps. He logged 48 rushing yards on seven carries and caught three passes for 15 yards, out‑producing fellow back Tyler Allgeier despite fewer touches. Over the past two games Knight has amassed 161 yards from scrimmage on 27 touches, a big jump from only three carries early in the season. With Jeremiah Love still sidelined by an ankle injury, Knight’s expanded role makes him a tempting flex pick in 12‑team PPR leagues, especially against a Dallas defense that’s allowed 899 rushing yards in six games.
The Week 7 meeting between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles could determine George Pickens' future with America's Team.
The Cowboys head to Philadelphia for a must‑win showdown against an injury‑hit Eagles, and three lesser‑known players could prove decisive. Kicker Brandon Aubrey, after a strong three‑year run, struggles with 50‑plus‑yard attempts (2‑for‑5) and must nail field goals and kickoffs in a likely low‑scoring game. Guard Cooper Beebe faces a trio of elite interior defenders—Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis and Moro Ojomo—and will need to hold his own to protect Dak Prescott’s pocket. Meanwhile, punt‑returner Jonathan Mingo steps into KaVontae Turpin’s role, aiming to avoid turnovers and keep the Cowboys’ offense on the field. Their performances may tip a game the Cowboys have won only twice in Philly since 2018.
Crossing Broad’s tongue‑in‑cheek “Ultimate List of 125 Things That Have Happened Since the Cowboys’ Last Super Bowl (1996)” is a rolling chronicle of pop‑culture, tech and sports milestones—from Tiger Woods’ 15 majors and the Rams’ L.A. Super Bowl win to the Cubs’ 108‑year drought ending, MLS expanding to 30 clubs, and Jalen Hurts’ 2026 birth in Houston. The list also flags historic events like the Chicago Cubs’ 2016 title, the United States winning the first women’s World Cup, and the NFL’s biggest trades, all framed as a reminder that the Cowboys still haven’t reclaimed glory.
On Monday Night Football, October 26, the Eagles host the Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field. With Jalen Hurts on injured reserve after a severe clotting issue, rookie Tanner McKee steps in as Philadelphia’s starter, backed by rookie Cole Payton and Joe Milton III. Dallas fields veteran Dak Prescott as its No. 1, with former Washington starter Sam Howell as the clear backup after Milton’s release. Both teams aim to solidify their NFC East standings, making the quarterback swing the spotlight in this Week 7 showdown.
During a Good Morning Football segment in Philadelphia, former Cowboys star Michael Irvan boasted that Dallas “knows how to win Super Bowls,” despite the franchise’s 30‑year title drought since 1996 and no NFC Championship appearances in that span. The tweet‑filled rant, aimed at Eagles fans, sparked criticism for its bravado and out‑of‑touch claims. The article highlights Irvan’s hyperbole, the lingering disappointment among Cowboys supporters, and the irony of his confidence amid a prolonged playoff slump.
