Eagles Face Cowboys Amidst Injury Crisis

Four weeks after beginning their season with a 2-0 record and a healthy Jalen Hurts, the Philadelphia Eagles now enter their Monday night contest against the Dallas Cowboys with a four-game losing streak. Quarterback Jalen Hurts is out for the season after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis, forcing Tanner McKee to make his second straight start under center.

The Eagles (2-4) host the Cowboys (2-4) in a critical NFC East matchup. Despite season-ending injuries to key players like Hurts and the retirement of Lane Johnson, Philadelphia has a potential playoff path if McKee can perform as expected.

McKee, a 2023 sixth-round pick, completed 57.8% of his passes for 215 yards and one touchdown in his previous start against Carolina. The offense, currently ranking 30th in yards per game, hopes for the anticipated return of running back Saquon Barkley to alleviate pressure on McKee.

The Cowboys are also struggling, coming off back-to-back losses with significant offensive turnovers. Quarterback Dak Prescott has a history of success against the Eagles, but his recent performance has been inconsistent. Both teams are looking to rebound in a division where all four teams are coming off losses in Week 6.
