The Cowboys expect Dez Bryant to return Sunday night against the Eagles, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Bryant practiced Monday after the Cowboys' bye and "was doing everything," according to Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News.
The Cowboys have gone 3-0 since Bryant injured his knee. Wide receivers Cole Beasley and Terrance Williams have been productive in his absence, with Beasley scoring three TDs and Williams totaling 155 receiving yards in Dallas' last two games.

Bears: Jay Cutler to return in Week 8
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Bears quarterback Jay Cutler will return from a thumb injury to play against the Minnesota Vikings on Oct. 31.
Cutler has been out since he suffered a thumb sprain in a Sept. 19 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Coach John Fox said Monday that Cutler has been cleared to play in the game next Monday night.
His backup, Brian Hoyer, suffered a broken left arm against Green Bay in the Bears' 26-10 defeat last Thursday. Fox says Hoyer has had surgery.
Fox says it's possible the team could pick up one more quarterback behind backup Matt Barkley, who played against the Packers after Hoyer's injury.
Chicago (1-6) is at the bottom of the NFC North division.
