Cowboys trade for former 2nd round pick at WR ahead of game vs. Eagles

Dallas Cowboys trade for wide receiver Jonathan Mingo ahead of Week 9 game vs. the Philadelphia Eagles

Jerry Jones talked on Tuesday morning about making a big trade for a player he previously coveted in the 2023 NFL draft.

Hours later, Jones acquired Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers for draft picks.

Mingo has one catch for one yard in the last month.

Mingo was drafted by the Panthers as the No. 39 overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Ole Miss and was projected to be like A.J. Brown or D.J. Metcalf.

Mingo was targeted 85 times as a rookie, catching 43 passes for 418 yards and no touchdowns. Through nine games this season, Mingo has 12 catches on 26 targets for 121 yards.

A.J. Brown injury update: Will Eagles All-Pro WR play vs. Cowboys in Week 10?

A.J. Brown is listed as day to day after having test on his injured knee following the Eagles 28-23 win over the Jaguars in Week 9

The Eagles received good news on Monday. It was reported that All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown avoided a serious knee injury when he was forced to leave Philadelphia’s win over Jacksonville.

Nick Sirianni was noncommittal about Brown’s availability as we advance, but Adam Schefter is reporting that Brown is listed as day-to-day after a Monday MRI.

Brown had two catches for 36 yards (18.0) before exiting in the second half, and he has 23 catches for 444 yards (19.3 avg) and three touchdowns in five games played.

Philadelphia plays a banged-up Cowboys squad on Sunday before a showdown against the 7-2 Commanders on Thursday night football. Such a short turnaround could cause the Eagles to potentially hold Brown out for three more days of extra rest.

Eagles sign Quinyon Mitchell’s former college teammate to the practice squad

Philadelphia Eagles sign linebacker Dallas Gant to the practice squad, and release Braeden Daniels

On Monday, the Eagles made two practice squad moves: they released offensive lineman Braeden Daniels and signed free agent linebacker Dallas Gant.

Gant, a former college teammate of Philadelphia’s 2024 first-round pick Quinyon Mitchell, played college football for the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Toledo Rockets. After the 2024 NFL draft, the Vikings signed him as an undrafted free agent.

Gant transferred from Ohio State to Toledo and flourished with the Rockets, logging 11 tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, a pass deflection, and a forced fumble as he helped the Rockets beat LIU 37–0 in his debut. Gant finished his breakout 2022 season with 116 tackles, 5.5 tackles a loss, five pass deflections, and two forced fumbles.

Gant was signed by the Vikings as an undrafted free agent after the 2024 NFL draft and was also selected by the DC Defenders in the seventh round of the 2024 UFL draft in July.

Gant was waived by Minnesota in August and signed to the practice squad before being released last month.

Jalen Carter returned to practice on Thursday as a full participant after missing Wednesday’s practice with a shoulder injury and will start

The Eagles are just hours away from hosting the Jaguars at Lincoln Financial Field and star defensive tackle Jalen Carter will be in the lineup.

Carter returned to practice on Thursday as a full participant after missing Wednesday’s practice with a shoulder injury and then logged another full practice on Friday.

Philadelphia will face off against a Jacksonville offensive line that will have a new starter at left tackle in Walker Little after the trade that sent Cam Robinson to Minnesota. The team also has two players questionable: left guard Ezra Cleveland (ankle) didn’t practice this week, and right guard Brandon Scherff (knee) was limited.

After not practicing all week for Philadelphia, tight end Dallas Goedert and cornerback Darius Slay are out for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Will Diontae Johnson play for the Ravens this week? Week 9 update

John Harbaugh told Tracy Wolfson that he expects Diontae Johnson to play 10-15 snaps in his Ravens debut against the Broncos in Week 9

Diontae Johnson had an efficient week of practice after getting traded from Carolina to Baltimore. Although he won’t be a starter, Todd Monken has a role as the veteran pass catcher.

Talking to Tracy Wolfson of CBS Sports before Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos at M&T Bank Stadium, head coach John Harbaugh said Johnson would play about 10-15 snaps in his debut.

Johnson talked about quickly picking up the Ravens offense and could provide a spark in the deep passing game with Lamar Jackson.

Johnson has been a productive pass catcher in the NFL and one of the league’s best at creating separation on the outside.

Johnson had 30 receptions for 357 yards and three touchdowns this season for the Panthers.

Jaguars injury updates: Will Tank Bigsby, and Travis Etienne Jr. play vs. Eagles in Week 9?

The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to have Tank Bigsby, Travis Etienne Jr., and Gabe Davis available for the Week 9 game at the Eagles

The Jaguars (2-6) are in Philadelphia for another Doug Pederson homecoming, and they’ll have critical reinforcements available on offense for the matchup against the Eagles (5-2) on Sunday.

Jacksonville running backs Tank Bigsby (ankle) and Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) are both likely to play today, barring a setback, Ian Rapoport reports.

Rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) will be a game-time decision, while veteran passes catcher Gabe Davis (shoulder) is more of a long shot.

The Jaguars lost to the Green Bay Packers, 30-27, at EverBank Stadium this past Sunday. Jacksonville sustained many injuries, including a season-ending collarbone injury to veteran wide receiver and leader Christian Kirk.
