The Cowboys are getting some good news on the injury front, and it couldn’t have happened at a better time.
According to sources, offensive tackles Tyron Smith and La’el Collins, wide receivers Amari Cooper and Randall Cobb and cornerback Byron Jones will be available to play Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. All five are listed as questionable for the game, but they practiced Friday on a limited basis and -- barring any last-minute setback -- will play.
Smith and Collins had their second straight day of limited work, while Cooper, Cobb and Jones practiced for the first time this week on Friday. Smith has missed the last two games with a high right ankle sprain suffered late in the Cowboys’ Sept. 29 loss to the New Orleans Collapse

Jerry’s always doing something. It’s been quite a busy week for Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
Last Sunday was his 77th birthday, a day he unfortunately spent watching his beloved Cowboys lose on the road against the New York Jets. Since then he’s been asked question after question about the job status of his head coach Jason Garrett, but in true Jerry Jones fashioned he’s managed to generally deflect them all (while keeping things interesting of course).
Jones also spent part of the week in Florida at annual fall NFL owners meetings. It’s here that the league’s dignitaries get together to discuss the state of the where the game is at and how they can improve things. Obviously officiating was a very big talking point, especially coming off of the terrible calls on Monday night between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers.

1 DAY AGO - Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images
It should be a big day for Dak Prescott through the air. Back when the Eagles went on their big Super Bowl run in 2017, they were powered by an incredibly stingy defense and two different quarterbacks that were performing well above their expectations. Now, the Eagles only have one of those quarterbacks and an average at best defense.
The defense still features a tough defensive line headlined by Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham, and Derek Barnett, but beyond that line the Eagles have a lot of questions and not too many answers. They cut linebacker Zach Brown, who led the team’s linebackers in tackles, after he publicly talked trash about Kirk Cousins only for the Vikings quarterback to torch Philly’s defense for 333 yards and four touchdowns.
With Brown now out of the equation, their leading tackler at linebacker becomes Nigel Bradham, who left the Vikings game early with an ankle injury and is ruled out for the matchup against Dallas after not Collapse

The Cowboys get as good as news as possible on the injury report against the Eagles. Earlier today, we learned from Jason Garrett’s press conference that a lot of the injured players were going to participate in the Friday practice. That turned out to be the case and it is looking like Dallas could have almost all of their injured players back for the Eagles game.
Amari Cooper got back on the field and is feeling confident about playing on Sunday. He is officially listed as questionable.

See who will be available for the Cowboys tonight. The biggest game of the season for the Dallas Cowboys is just about here. The lights are going to be bright against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football.
This week has been a hectic one for the Cowboys as the health status of some big players was in serious doubt. That is no longer the case as the inactives list is officially out and the Cowboys are getting some serious talent back.

Good news for the Cowboys heading into the contest with the Eagles. It’s finally here. The Dallas Cowboys are going to host the Philadelphia Eagles tonight.
This is the biggest game of the season so far, and with the bye week coming after, the Cowboys have to do everything that they can to put themselves back in a strong position within the NFC East. A win over Philadelphia would go a long way in that quest.
This game is obviously a tough one by nature, but injuries made it look all the more intimidating. Dallas has been dealing with injuries to several of their stars, but it looks like they’re all going to be available to them on Sunday night. This is huge news.

With the Cowboys stumbling, head coach talk is happening again. It’s been a long week for the Dallas Cowboys. Losing to the New York Jets will have that sort of effect.
America’s Team finds themselves 3-3 with a gigantic game against the Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium up next on Sunday night. It’s the last game before the bye so whatever happens will be discussed at length by the fanbase for the next couple of weeks.
With the struggles the Cowboys have had over the last three weeks, many people have put head coach Jason Garrett on the hot seat. He’s been in whatever sort of temperature seat you’d like to call it for much longer than that, the Cowboys didn’t renew his contract last season which made 2019 the final year of his current one. There’s been no doubt that this year is the biggest of his career to date.
The reality is that everybody’s talking about Garrett’s job, though. Former college football coach and now FOX analyst Urban Meyer Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Here are some things to keep tabs on when these two division rivals battle it out on Sunday night. It’s the game we’ve been waiting for. The two teams people were expecting to battle for NFC East supremacy are doing exactly that on Sunday Night. The winner restores hope in their season, the loser is in a world of trouble. Either the Dallas Cowboys or Philadelphia Eagles have taken down the East in five of the last six seasons, with the Cowboys the reigning division champs. But for them to retain their division title and become the first team in 15 years to repeat as NFC East champs, they’re going to need to get this win on Sunday. There are many storylines in this one, but here are five things to pay close attention to when these two teams square off.

Something tells me we’re going to be able to get a sense of who’s coming away victorious within the first six minutes of the game. Maybe it will be the team that storms out of the gate bringing the most Collapse

There are more than one ways to attack the Eagles, but will the Cowboys scheme it up the right way?
I know there is plenty of doubt out there about whether this coaching staff will get Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard on the field together -- but I believe this is the week it changes. With injuries to Amari Cooper and Randall Cobb, this staff has had to come up with more creative ways to move the ball. That means that during Wednesday and Thursday’s practices, without Cooper and Cobb on the field, they took the opportunity to see how that would look as part of the game plan.
The secondary needs to be aware of the number of pick and rub routes that Doug Pederson likes to run -- especially on short yardage and down in the red zone. The Eagles have some large, athletic bodies with Zach Ertz, Collapse

Who will win the most compelling game of the week, the Eagles or the Cowboys? Experts share their picks for the Cowboys Week 7 game versus Philadelphia.
ProFootballTalk (Mike Florio): Cowboys 30, Eagles 24
Doug Pederson says the Eagles are going to win, but he won’t guarantee it. He shouldn’t. Jason Garrett has a history of digging deep when his back is against the wall, and once again it is.
NFL.com (Gregg Rosenthal): Cowboys 29, Eagles 28
The Cowboys’ offense has improved from its 10-point output in Week 4 despite serious injuries, while the Cowboys’ defense has fallen all the way to 25th in DVOA despite relative health. Yet, it’s the offense that has taken most of the blame for the team’s struggles. That’s just what life is like when Jason Garrett is the head coach, but I’m encouraged by Dak Prescott’s performance in the Meadowlands throwing to Tavon Austin and Cedrick Wilson. Now it’s time for Leighton Vander Esch, Jaylon Smith, Collapse

This might have been best left alone by DeMarcus Lawrence. It’s always a big week when the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles play each other. Always.
The game is magnified this particular week because both teams are coming off of losses and a loss against their bitter rival could send each fan base into a tailspin. This is why it was so shocking when Eagles head coach Doug Pederson talked a little bit of trash when the week began.
Honestly, though, Pederson didn’t really talk “trash” when you look at exactly what he said. He expressed confidence in his team and that was about it. He’s obviously confident that they’ll win on Sunday. Here are his exact words.
PEDERSON: I know the sky is falling outside. It’s falling. And I get that. And the fans are reeling just a little bit. But we’re going down to Dallas, and our guys are going to be ready to play. And we’re going to win that football game and when we do we’re in first place in the NFC East. We Collapse

The Cowboys will go up against of the elite defenders in football on Sunday. Cowboys. Eagles. Sunday Night Football. Prime time television. Winner goes to first place in the NFC East.
As we all know, this game is huge. The Cowboys desperately need to get things back on track after dropping the last three games. The offense needs to remember that there is a first half, while the defense needs to prove it is better than what it has shown thus far this season.
Doug Pederson voiced confidence in his team earlier this week, while DeMarcus Lawrence later said that the Eagles coach will not be the one playing on the field. There is a lot of bad blood between these two fierce rivals and both squads will be out to prove that they are the team to beat in the division.
One player that the Dallas Cowboys need to prevent from controlling the line of scrimmage, and therefore the game, is All-Pro defensive tackle Fletcher Cox.

Can South Carolina do it again with the Gators on deck? #9 Florida @ South Carolina - Gamecocks took down Georgia, can they upset the Gators, too? 12 PM ET ESPN
What a week it was for the Gamecocks having upset the college football landscape with a shocking win over the Georgia Bulldogs. Though #9 Florida took the ‘L’ versus LSU last week, that Georgia loss helped them out a whole bunch. Now, Florida must make sure they don’t fall prey to the upset this week. It’ll be hard to do as they enter this week without two of the Gators’ best pass rushers:
Florida’s pass rush was largely neutralized by LSU in Death Valley last Saturday, with the Gators recording zero sacks and meaningfully pressuring Joe Burrow only a handful of times.

Philly will be looking to start fast against Dallas. Doug Pederson is one of the best head coaches in the NFL.
Unfortunately for all of us, Pederson is the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. He’s done a lot with that organization in the short amount of time that he’s been there, and a large part of it is due to his aggressive style.
Pederson is not shy when it comes to embracing new tactics as the Eagles love the usage of analytics. It’s because of his ability to adapt that the Eagles have been able to be competitive, that’s a problem for the Dallas Cowboys team that will host them on Sunday night.
We all know that the Cowboys have one of the better offenses in the NFL. While it might not feel like that right now, the reality is that they really are. The team as a whole ranks fifth in Football Outsiders’ DVOA metric, the offense ranks second. That’s obviously very good.
