Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Patrick Johnson crushes Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin following a first half pass at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Nov. 5, 2023., one answer really stuck with me when asking what they thought would be the most important keys to victory.
Turpin was very slow to get to the bench where he was examined by Dr. Dan Cooper before going into the blue medical tent where his shoulder pads and jersey were removed for closer examination and for an equipment change. Meanwhile, head athletic trainer Jim Maurer watched a video replay of the punt return on the monitor behind the visiting bench for a closer, slow-motion view of the injury.
Turpin did continue to field punts for the remainder of the game as well as every kickoff, except for Rico Dowdle returning one kickoff late in the third quarter when the Eagles extended their lead to 28-17. Left tackle Tyron Smith, who missed last week’s game with a neck injury, was “questionable” entering Sunday, but he was able to play all 75 of the Cowboys’ offensive snaps. In fact, the entire starting offensive line took 100% of Dallas’ snaps.
Rookie wide receiver Jalen Brooks was also inactive, which meant the gunners were Jalen Tolbert and Nahshon Wright. Defensive end Sam Williams, Sunday’s attendance of 69,879 was impressive because the seating capacity of Lincoln Financial Field for football games is 67,594.
