Eagles rule out four players for Cowboys game on Sunday – Dave Zangaro, NBC Sports Philadelphia
An Eagles’ offensive lineman may be making his first career start.
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.

It remains evident that there is no love lost on either side of the Cowboys-Eagles rivalry.Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert
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.”
The Eagles and Cowboys have one of the most historic rivalries in the NFL, dating back decades upon decades. The latest
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.
Here are the final injury reports for both teams heading into this Sunday.
