Eagles Rule Out Four Players For Sunday's Cowboys Game

The Eagles have ruled out four players for their Sunday afternoon game against the Cowboys.

G Cam Jurgens (foot), CB Bradley Roby (shoulder), RB Boston Scott (personal matter) and Grant Calcaterra (concussion) were all ruled out Friday afternoon.

Jürgens has missed the last four games on injured reserve due to a foot injury. His 21-day training window opened this week and he returned as a limited participant throughout the week but isn’t quite ready to go yet. We will likely see him return after the bye week on November 20th against the Chiefs.

Without Jurgens, the Eagles are actually expected to select third-round rookie Tyler Steen at right defense. This will be the first beginning of Steen’s career. Veteran Sua Opeta has started the last four games, but Steen managed six snaps late in the second quarter against the Commanders and has worked with the first-team offense this week.

This is Roby’s third missed game since his shoulder injury. He wasn’t placed on IR, so the Eagles were hoping he would be back before four weeks. So maybe we’ll see him return against the Chiefs. Roby worked with trainers on a side field on Friday.

Scott missed practice all week for personal reasons and will not play on Sunday. This likely means veteran Rashaad Penny will be active against the Cowboys.

Calcaterra is going through concussion protocol but isn’t ready to return yet. Calcaterra had limited participation in Friday’s practice. Given his concussion history in college, it’s a good sign that he’s following protocol. Expect Albert Okweugbunam to make only his second appearance this season.

For the Cowboys, starting left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) is officially questionable for Sunday. He returned to practice on a limited basis Friday after missing last week’s game. His replacement Chuma Edoga (ankle/knee) is also questionable for this game.
