The Philadelphia Eagles face several roster challenges ahead of their game against the Dallas Cowboys. Key updates include quarterbacks, defensive line and running backs.
Dean entered the weekend listed as doubtful with an abdominal injury that limited him during the week. In his absence, Zack Baun will wear the green dot on his helmet. Expect veteran Oren Burks to replace Dean in the lineup. The Eagles also have rookie Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and they elevated Dallas Gant for this game.The Eagles officially ruled out Hurts on Friday after he missed the full week of practice with a concussion he suffered last week against the Commanders.
Veteran Kenny Pickett will start against the Cowboys. It’ll be his first start in over a year. The backup quarterback in this game will be second-year, sixth-round pick Tanner McKee, who has yet to appear in a regular season game. The third-string quarterback is Book, whom the Eagles brought back to the practice squad this week. On Saturday, they signed Book to the 53-man roster so they can utilize the emergency quarterback rule. He’s officially inactive but could enter the game if both Pickett and McKee get hurt.Defensive end Bryce Huff will make his return after missing the last five games. Huff had wrist surgery on Nov. 21 to repair a torn ligament. He will wear a cast on his left hand but has more range of motion now than he did before the surgery. In Huff’s absence (and after Brandon Graham’s injury) the Eagles had basically gone down to a three-man rotation with Nolan Smith, Josh Sweat and Jalyx Hunt. They can now go back to a four-man rotation. The Eagles on Saturday elevated Gant and RB Tyrion Davis-Price and both are active. Davis-Price is the third running back in this game, replacing the concussed Shipley
