The Philadelphia Eagles are anticipating the return of several key players from injured reserve, most notably starting right guard Cam Jurgens. They are gearing up to face the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. On the other hand, the Cowboys have suffered a significant blow with the season-ending ACL tear of All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs but have generally had decent injury luck this season.
Here’s a brief analysis of the Eagles-Cowboys injury report:
| Player | Injury | Wed |
| CB Bradley Roby | Shoulder | DNP |
| TE Grant Calcaterra | Concussion | DNP |
| DT Jordan Davis | Hamstring | Limited |
| RG Cam Jurgens | Foot | Limited |
| OG Sua Opeta | Hip | Limited |
| TE Jack Stoll | Ankle | Limited |
| DT Milton Williams | Shoulder | Limited |
| DT Jalen Carter | Back | Full |
- The noteworthy news is that Carter was a full participant in practice, showing signs of recovery after injuring his back in Week 8 against the Commanders.
- The Eagles have opened the 21-day practice window for Jurgens, indicating his potential return from injured reserve.
- Roby, who suffered a shoulder injury a few weeks ago, has not yet practiced.
- Davis and Williams have been regulars on the injury report but have not missed any games.
Notable players on IR, PUP, suspension, etc.:
- RG Cam Jurgens: Jurgens sprained his foot against the Commanders in Week 4 and is eligible to come off injured reserve this week. His return will be a welcomed addition to the Eagles’ offensive lineup.
- CB Avonte Maddox: Maddox had surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle, likely ending his season. He has a history of injuries, and slot corner is a position where the Eagles have already lost depth due to injuries.
- S Justin Evans: Evans was the Eagles’ starting choice earlier in the season but has a history of injuries. He is eligible to come off IR next week.
- WR Quez Watkins: Watkins has been dealing with injuries this season and has limited playing time and production. His eligibility to come off IR will be after the Eagles’ Week 9 game against the Cowboys.
