The 5-2 Dallas Cowboys have a chance at making a huge statement against the 7-1 Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday's Week 9 divisional clash.
As every week, both teams announced their inactive players 90 minutes before kickoff.
The Cowboys got some positive news earlier on Sunday when Josina Anderson reported both Tyron Smith and Chuma Edoga would be suiting up. The team confirmed such suspicions with the list. That's huge news against the Eagles' talented defensive front. Let's dive in.
Cowboys inactives vs Eagles
- RB Deuce Vaughn
- WR Jalen Brooks
- CB Noah Igbinoghene
- DE Viliami Fehoko Jr.
- CB Eric Scott Jr.
- Trey Lance (emergency QB)
The Cowboys only have six inactive players for today's game as opposed to the usual seven. The reason is this week, they only elevated one player from the practice squad, LB Rashaan Evans, instead of two, which they had been doing for every game before Week 9.
More key observations
- This will be Vaughn's third straight game as a healthy scratch. The sixth-round rookie is fun to watch as he's got certain play-making skills. But it's tough to make the gameday roster with no special teams role and a weakness in pass protection.
- Lance unsurprisingly remains a healthy scratch for the Cowboys, as they keep dressing Cooper Rush over him as Dak Prescott's backup. Earlier this week, the Minnesota Vikings had a "brief discussion" about trading for Lance.
