The Eagles have ruled out four players for their Sunday afternoon game against the Cowboys.

G Cam Jurgens (foot), CB Bradley Roby (shoulder), RB Boston Scott (personal matter) and Grant Calcaterra (concussion)

were all ruled out of Friday afternoon.

Jurgens has missed the previous four games on Injured Reserve with a foot injury. His 21-day practice window was opened

this week and he returned as a limited participant all week but he isn’t quite ready to go. We will likely see him return after

the bye week on Nov. 20 against the Chiefs.

Without Jurgens, the Eagles are actually expected to start rookie third-round pick Tyler Steen at right guard. This will be

the first start of Steen’s career. Veteran Sua Opeta has been the starter the last four games but Steen got out there for six

snaps late in the second quarter against the Commanders and has been working with the first-team offense this week.

This will be Roby’s third missed game since suffering a shoulder injury. He wasn’t put on IR so the Eagles were hoping he’d

be back before four weeks. So maybe we see him return against the Chiefs too. Roby was working with trainers on a side field Friday.

is a big, unironic fan of the rivalry with the Dallas Cowboys and “loves the

hatred,” something he hasn’t been shy about in recent seasons despite the identical names.

“I’m a Philly guy and I love the hatred we have towards Dallas so hearing ‘Dallas Sucks!’ just gets me fired up,” Goedert

said. “Because I feel the same way about them.”

iteration of the rivalry has been headlined by quarterbacks Dak Prescott and Jalen Hurts.

Goedert has played in nine games against Dallas since he has entered the league, recording 28 catches for 412 yards and

three touchdowns. In those nine games, Philadelphia is 3-6, spanning back to 2018.
