- Miles Sanders (knee)
- Cre’Von LeBlanc (quad)
- Jack Driscoll (ankle)

All five players who were activated off IR on Saturday — Jalen Reagor, Jason Peters, Dallas Goedert, T.J. Edwards and Rudy Ford — are all active for this game.
In addition, CB Michael Jacquet and DT Raequan Williams are both active after being elevated from the practice squad on Saturday. Both undrafted rookies have a chance to make their NFL debuts on Sunday.
As a reminder, Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton (concussion) is inactive for this game, which means rookie seventh-round pick Ben DiNucci will make his first NFL start. His backup is Garrett Gilbert, whom the Cowboys just brought back off of the Browns’ practice squad.
The Eagles’ backup offensive linemen tonight are Matt Pryor, Sua Opeta, Jack Driscoll and Brett Toth.
Here’s how the Eagles’ skill positions break down tonight:
Running back (3): Boston Scott, Corey Clement, Jason Huntley
Tight end (3): Goedert, Richard Rodgers, Jason Croom
Wide receiver (6): Reagor, Travis Fulgham, Greg Ward Jr., John Hightower, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Quez Watkins
