Dallas Cowboys head into Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles with a 2-4 record, but OLB Marist Liufau and safety PJ Locke are ruled out and placed on Reserve/Injured-Designated for Return. Locke has recorded three tackles in two games, while Liufau has yet to see the field this season. Both teams sit 2-4, but the Eagles grapple with injuries to stars like Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley. The matchup is a must‑win for Cowboys coach Brian Schoutenheimer and quarterback Dak Prescott as they chase momentum near the league’s midway point.
Monday Night Football pits 2‑4 Cowboys against an equally struggling 2‑4 Eagles in Week 7. Both teams are win‑or‑die, with Dallas missing Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia relying on second‑string QB Tanner McKee. Saquon Barkley returns, targeting the Cowboys’ porous run defense (899 yards allowed, 4.7 ypc). Dallas hopes to pressure McKee with DeMarvion Overshown’s speed, while the Eagles aim to exploit Dallas’ lack of rushing (48 yards vs. Green Bay). Predictions vary: Tom Ryle backs Dallas 19‑16, Brandon Loree 24‑19, Dyllan Rivers 31‑17, Matt Holleran favors Philly 20‑17, and Mike Poland also leans Dallas. The game could hinge on who finds offensive rhythm first.
The former Eagles center is learning that broadcasting leaves little room for error.
The NFL and NFLPA announce a joint review of how the Philadelphia Eagles diagnosed and treated quarterback Jalen Hurts' blood clot after his October 4 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Initially labeled a superficial clot, later examinations revealed deep‑vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli, forcing Hurts onto injured reserve for the rest of the season. While the league says protocols were followed, the players’ union demands a thorough investigation under the CBA’s Accountability and Care Committee, which could set precedents for medical‑malpractice claims like former Eagle Chris Maragos’ $43.5 million verdict.
The Cowboys face a make-or-break Week 7 showdown with the Eagles, where a win keeps playoff hopes alive. The article spotlights QB Dak Prescott, who rebounded from two games with just two TDs and four picks, and must exploit the Eagles' 19th‑ranked run defense and 22.8 points‑allowed average. On defense, LB DeMarvion Overshown returns from a season‑long hamstring setback, stepping in for the injured Dee Winters and aiming to help contain the Eagles’ backfield, including a returning Saquon Barkley. Their performance could determine Dallas’ season trajectory.
The Dallas Cowboys announce country star Miranda Lambert as the halftime performer for their Thanksgiving Day game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 26 at 4:30 p.m. ET. Lambert highlights the event’s 30th‑anniversary tie‑in with The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Kickoff, now in its 136th year, supporting local food, shelter and utility aid through Christmas Eve. Charlotte Jones, Cowboys co‑owner, emphasizes the tradition of high‑profile artists—last year’s show featured Post Malone—helping raise hope for families in need. The Cowboys also meet the Eagles a day earlier on Oct. 26 at 8:15 p.m. ET.
Former Eagles center Jason Kelly draws fresh criticism after repeatedly mentioning Philadelphia during ESPN’s Steelers‑Saints game on Oct. 25, 2026. Fans on X blasted Kelcy for pulling the Eagles into a broadcast that should focus on Pittsburgh and New Orleans, echoing earlier backlash from his Sep. 28 and Oct. 11 appearances where he slipped into “we” when discussing the Eagles. ESPN producer Jeff Dufine admits the network is working to curb the habit, praising Kelcy’s analysis but stressing the need for relevance. The uproar highlights the growing pressure on the retired veteran, who retired in March 2024, to separate his beloved former team from his new role as an analyst.
The Washington Commanders sit at 1‑4‑1 but still have a shot at the NFC East thanks to a weak division. The author remains optimistic, citing a favorable Week 8 matchup versus the Eagles, quarterback Jayden Daniels finally hitting “JD5” form, free‑agent pass‑rusher Odafe Oweh returning to sack‑heavy play, rookie coordinators David Blough and Daronte Jones learning their jobs, and a focus on cutting costly penalties. These factors could turn the season around after the bye.
The Dallas Cowboys must lean on their improved second‑half defense, which limited the Packers to six points, to secure a statement win against the Philadelphia Eagles in week seven. Both teams sit 2‑4, and a primetime victory could keep the Cowboys alive in the NFC East race. Key to success: force third‑down stops, get the ball back to Dak Prescott, and contain a returning Saquon Barkley, who missed the last two games. The matchup pits defensive coordinator Vic Fangio against former assistant Christian Parker, with both squads allowing 11.6 yards per reception. A win would lift Dallas to 3‑4; a loss extends a two‑game skid.
The NFL and the NFL Players Association tell Jonathan Jones of The Athletic that they are “working together to review” how Eagles QB Jalen Hurts’ medical situation was handled.

Ahead of the Cowboys‑Eagles showdown, Brandon Lee Gowton of Bleeding Green Nation weighs in on the fallout in Philadelphia. He says Jalen Hurts’s season‑ending injury remains shrouded in mystery, urging NFLPA transparency while noting Hurts’s no‑trade clause and the uncertainty of his 2027 role. Gowton also doubts Nick Sirianni will keep his head‑coaching job after a historically bad 2025‑2026 offense, despite a Super Bowl win, and highlights a cascade of problems: a sputtering, injury‑plagued offense and an underperforming defense. He even recalls backup QB Tanner McKee’s dominant Week 17 showing in 2024. The Q&A paints a bleak “season from hell” picture for the Eagles.
The Dallas Cowboys sit at 2-4 after six games, already facing the kind of early-season deficit that can define a year. Consecutive losses to teams they were expected to beat have left little margin for error. They face Philadelphia Eagles in week 7 and both teams sit at 2-4. Dak Prescott feels the need to […]

The Bleeding Green Nation roundup asks whether Eagles GM Howie Roseman will pull the trigger on a trade‑deadline fire sale before the Nov. 10 deadline. Despite speculation about moving veterans like Saquon Barkley, Moro Ojomo, Zack Baun, Riq Woolen, Landon Dickerson and Dallas Goedert, the article argues Roseman won’t trade for less value than he’d receive in compensatory picks and is unlikely to dump assets while the team still has a playoff shot. With the NFC East schedule (Cowboys, Commanders, Giants) and a 2‑7 record, the Eagles could still be in contention, meaning Roseman will keep the roster intact unless the season truly collapses.
The Philadelphia Eagles release their final Week 7 injury report ahead of Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys, listing four players OUT: star WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring), WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), edge rusher Nolan Smith (concussion) and CB Michael Carter II (abdomen). With Smith and Wicks sidelined, the Eagles will rely on Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Elijah Moore, Hollywood Brown and Britain Covey. Saquon Barkley and Landon Dickerson are listed as questionable but appear close to playing. The Cowboys lose LB Dee Winters, return specialist KaVontae Turpin and OT Drew Shelton, with edge rusher Marist Liufau and safety P.J. Locke doubtful. Both teams face notable depth challenges heading into the showdown.
Here's what we know about Saquon Barkley's chances of suiting up on Monday night.
The piece debates whether Baker Mayfield's return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is a boon or a bane for the Carolina Panthers. After a thumb injury sidelined Mayfield, undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels stepped in, posting a higher QBR and leading the Bucs to their sole win over the Cowboys. Though Mayfield has been solid since joining Tampa, his month‑long layoff and thumb recovery create uncertainty. The author concludes Mayfield’s comeback is likely bad news for the Panthers, citing his chip‑on‑the‑shoulder mentality and the risk of a volatile performance against Carolina.
The Jacksonville Jaguars sit out Sunday, Oct. 25, because Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season is their scheduled bye. The break follows two back‑to‑back London games—against the Philadelphia Eagles (Oct. 11) and Houston Texans (Oct. 18)—giving Liam Coen’s squad time to recover from the grueling travel and address injuries. Jacksonville returns on Nov. 1 at 1 p.m. ET to host the Indianapolis Colts in an AFC South showdown at EverBank Stadium, before road trips to Baltimore, Tennessee and New York later in the month.
If the Philadelphia Eagles make any more trades before the 2026 trade deadline, it should almost certainly be as sellers, not buyers. Now sure, could Roseman find a bargain on the margins and make a move, like if a team is willing to take a conditional seventh-round pick for a player at a position of […]

Aaron Rodgers says he isn’t surprised by the NFL’s handling of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts’ blood‑clot injury, noting his longstanding disagreements with league medical chief Dr. Allen Sills. Hurts, whose season‑ending condition was initially dubbed a “superficial” clot, sparked controversy over the NFL’s treatment protocols. Rodgers, who has previously criticized league medical policies, cautions against taking the NFL’s reassurances at face value. The piece also references the league’s past settlement over concussion disclosures and the role of unaffiliated neuro‑trauma consultants in games.
Browns Browns C Luke Wypler was fined $6,611 for unnecessary roughness. Ravens The Ravens acquired C Cam Jurgens from the Eagles on October 7, but he still hasn’t debuted with the team after being in the league’s concussion protocol when he was traded.

After the Panthers’ Week 6 road win over the Philadelphia Eagles, the NFL fined three Carolina players for taunting. Cornerback Will Lee receives a $6,377 penalty, tight end Tommy Tremble is hit with the highest fine at $11,941 after taunting on his second TD, and safety Zakee Wheatley is fined $5,626. The infractions were caught on post‑game video, and only one other player league‑wide—Packers receiver Matthew Golden—was fined for taunting that week. None face suspension, but coach Dave Canales will likely stress discipline to avoid harsher penalties.
