The Cowboys are onto Philadelphia. But as starting quarterback Dak Prescott embarks on a big week of practice that will determine whether he’ll be ready to “zip the ball out there” in the divisional clash, there’s an ever bigger injury on the other sideline in terms of what it could mean for Sunday night’s game. The Philadelphia coaching staff is already on high alert for Micah Parsons, but there’s one Eagle who could mean the difference between the lion feasting and being tamed for this important matchup.

Dorance Armstrong has helped Cowboys fans get over Randy Gregory’s exit, and Donovan Wilson may just be the best Dallas safety since… when, exactly??? The team adds tight end depth while cutting ties with a practice-squad specialist, there’s good news and bad news in the latest power rankings, and Cowboys icon Troy Aikman puts his foot in his mouth with a tone-deaf remark on Monday Night Football. News and Notes, coming right up.
