The Dallas Cowboys are headed to Philadelphia, where they will play spoilers and the post-Christmas Grinch against the Eagles, who are looking to wrap up the NFC East.
Philadelphia could be without Jalen Hurts, who is currently in concussion protocol. If Hurts can’t play, Kenny Pickett or Tanner McKee could get the start.
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy isn’t taking any chances, choosing to focus on stopping Saquon Barkley, regardless of who the quarterback is.
With Jalen Hurts, Kenny Picket hurt, the Cowboys prep work doesn’t change much. Mike McCarthy: “Let’s face it, they’re not going to get too far away from their running game. Saquon is having MVP season.”
