Latest news and updates about the Eagles
Unpacking the clash over Hurts’ medical handling and his support for the Eagles’ messaging. Plus, Chris Ballard’s exit from the Colts and Shane Steichen’s future.
Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer publicly urges wideout George Pickens to step up his run‑blocking, demanding he take on safeties and cornerbacks to open lanes for the ground game. Schottenheimer likens Pickens’ role to Javonte Williams' pass‑pro work and stresses a team‑first mindset after the Cowboys were held to just 48 rushing yards in a 23‑13 loss to Green Bay on Oct. 18. Pickens, who logged 1,429 receiving yards and nine TDs in 2025 and 428 yards through six games this season, must improve his blocking ahead of the Oct. 26 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Philadelphia Eagles head into Week 7 at 2‑4, set to host the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, but a roster plagued by injuries threatens their chances. Star quarterback Jalen Hurts landed on IR on Oct. 17 after deep‑vein thrombosis and lung clots were discovered, sidelining him for the season. Running back Saquon Barkley, hamstring‑limited since Week 4, practiced Thursday but remains a game‑time question. Wideout DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) are also listed as doubtful, while OLB Nolan Smith, WR Dontayvion Wicks and DB Michael Carter II missed practice. Final designations are due Saturday.
In Week 7, rookie wideout Germie Bernard proves his worth for the Steelers, climbing to second among rookies with 24 catches and 17 coming in the last two games after injuries sidelined Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson. Bernard’s 11‑reception, 87‑yard, overtime‑game‑winning performance against Tampa Bay earned praise from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who now trusts him as a primary target in a pass‑heavy offense (233 attempts, fifth‑most in the league). With his seamless route running and high‑school Alabama experience, Bernard could become a contender for Offensive Rookie of the Year and solidify his spot even after the injured receivers return.
The Dallas Cowboys head into Week 7 (2-4) against the Philadelphia Eagles with several key defenders cleared to return. Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, out since a Week 1 hamstring, is back for practice and slated to play, while cornerback Cobie Durant is trending toward Monday’s roster after missing since Week 2. However, wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (rib cartilage) and linebacker Dee Winters (Achilles strain) are doubtful, and rookie tackle Drew Shelton remains sidelined with a hamstring. The injury report also notes safeties P.J. Locke and Jalen Thompson on IR and All‑Pro guard Tyler Smith’s thumb surgery recovery. The Cowboys will hope the returning defenders bolster a defense that’s been their biggest weakness this season.
In this film-room preview, the Eagles’ offense faces a crucial test against a struggling Dallas Cowboys secondary that consistently miscommunicates in coverage. The Cowboys rank last in EPA per dropback and routinely leave receivers open as two defenders cover the same route. The preview urges Philadelphia to exploit zone weaknesses with motion, switch releases, flood concepts and crossing routes, especially now that Saquon Barkley and possibly Landon Dickerson return. If the Eagles can force the Cowboys to communicate and avoid coverage busts, the offense could finally prove Sean Mannion’s execution argument and swing the game in Philadelphia’s favor.
Monday Night Football pits the Dallas Cowboys against a struggling Philadelphia Eagles in a showdown the blog dubs the “Dismal Bowl.” Dallas ranks 13th in offense (343.2 yards, 25.2 points per game) and features QB Dak Prescott, who sits 5th in passing yards (1,639) and 2nd in completions (163) after six weeks. The Eagles rank near the bottom in both yards (255.5) and scoring (17.7) and have lost four straight, with Jalen Hurts out and rookie Tanner McKee under center. Both defenses rank in the 20s, and Eagles coach Vic Fangio praises the Cowboys’ balanced attack despite recent losses. The NFC East looks like a division-wide train wreck, making this matchup a critical test for both clubs.
The Philadelphia Eagles are mired in a bleak season, sitting at 2-4 with a string of injuries that include quarterback Jalen Hurts out for the year and key linemen on the move. Coach Doug Pederson hopes a partial return of Saquon Barkley, center Landon Dickerson, and pass rusher Jalyx Hunt can spark a turnaround before a potential five‑game losing streak. Barkley, back from a hamstring issue, aims to revive the stagnant offense, while Dickerson could stabilize a line that allows the league’s worst pressure rate. Hunt’s comeback may revive a pass rush that has struggled without a consistent edge presence. The upcoming primetime start for backup QB Tanner McKee against the league’s lowest‑ranked defense will be a critical test.
The Cowboys’ offensive line must step up against the Eagles’ stout run defense on Sunday. With Tyler Smith back, Dallas still ranks 31st in run‑block win rate (69% overall) and struggled to just 48 rushing yards versus Green Bay. Philadelphia’s interior star Jordan Davis (83.2 PFF run‑defense grade, fifth overall) can dominate the middle, forcing the Cowboys to double‑team and opening lanes for Eagles linebackers. Meanwhile, Jalen Carter’s pass rush has dipped, but a single interior pressure could cripple Dak Prescott. The blog advises Dallas to attack the edge, use outside‑zone runs and pulling guards, and trust the tackles against a pass rush that ranks 25th in the league.
Patriots fans are expressing buyer’s remorse after trading a first‑round pick for former Eagles star A.J. Brown, who has struggled in his New England debut. In the week‑1 loss to the Jets, Brown caught three passes for 48 yards and failed to make big plays, with lingering rust and a possible injury limiting his impact. The criticism intensifies as the Patriots sit shorthanded at wide receiver following injuries to Romeo Doubs and Mack Hollins. Meanwhile, the Eagles juggle their own injury woes, with Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert listed as limited, while the team considers roster moves ahead of Monday Night Football against the Cowboys.
The Dallas Cowboys have lost their last two games, and they have a chance to get back into the win column this week against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Dallas Cowboys sit 2‑4 after two straight defeats and need a spark in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The blog highlights two under‑utilized players: wide receiver George Pickens, who has seen his production dip from 525 yards and six TDs in 2025 to just 428 yards and one TD in 2026, and linebacker Shermar James, who posted three stops, four tackles and an 80‑grade performance after stepping in for the injured Dee Winters. The author urges Coach Mike McCarthy to give Pickens more deep targets and keep James in the linebacker rotation to revitalize the offense and shore up the run defense.

Locke all struggling […] The post Brian Schottenheimer Gets Double Boost Ahead of Cowboys’ Must-Win Eagles Clash appeared first on EssentiallySports .

The Buffalo Rumblings weigh a potential trade for 6‑ft‑4″ cornerback Tariq Woolen as the NFL deadline approaches. Woolen, a former Seattle star who helped win the 2025 Super Bowl, has logged 41 tackles, 12 pass breakups and an interception in 2025, and in 2026 he’s posted 24 tackles, four breakups and allowed a 59% completion rate on 30 targets for the Eagles. At $1.26 M salary (prorated $630 k) and an estimated cost of a 2027 fourth‑round pick, he fits the Bills’ zone‑heavy scheme but may face a depth‑chart logjam. The piece asks whether his size, experience and low price justify a move before Week 9.
In this week’s "Brian Answers" fan‑mailbag, Panthers coach Brian addresses a swirl of questions after the 24‑6 loss to the Eagles on Oct. 18. He tackles the impact of point differentials on playoff tiebreakers, the likelihood of reaching the 5,000‑yard passing mark, and the safety room debate sparked by rookie Zakee Wheatley’s 81% snap rate versus Lathan Ransom’s limited snaps. He also weighs Jaelan Phillips’s four‑game tackle slump, his overall defensive value, and speculates on Tre’Von Moehrig’s season performance. Fans get inside insight on coaching decisions, roster depth and the team’s outlook as the schedule toughens.
The Dallas Cowboys lost 24-16 at home to a Tampa Bay team that arrived 0-4 and was starting an undrafted rookie quarterback, then lost 23-13 at Green Bay on Sunday night.

Former Bengals coach Marvin Lewis criticizes the Philadelphia Eagles for allowing quarterback Jalen Hurts to board a flight back from London after a superficial blood clot was discovered in his left calf. Hurts played on Oct. 11 against the Jaguars, then later was diagnosed with deep‑vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli, leading to injured‑reserve placement. Lewis cites his own near‑clot experience in Cincinnati to underscore the importance of player health over short‑term gains. The NFLPA calls for a full investigation, while Commissioner Roger Goodell says protocols were followed. Backup quarterbacks Tanner McKee, Cole Payton and Joe Milton III now shoulder the Eagles’ offense.
As the Cowboys head into Week 7 against the Eagles, head coach Brian Schottenheimer feels the heat after back‑to‑back losses have dropped Dallas to 2‑4. While Jalen Hurts will sit out, Saquon Barkley is set to return, and Cobie Durant and DeMarvion Overshown are expected back in the secondary to bolster a struggling defense. The latest injury report lists 11 players, including wideout George Pickens (limited shoulder) and veteran Von Miller (rest day). Coach Schottenheimer acknowledges the pressure, insisting he knows his worth and the team’s potential. With the offense faltering against blitzes—Prescott faced 17 rushes from Green Bay and Tampa Bay—the upcoming Monday night showdown in Philadelphia could shift the Cowboys’ fortunes.
