ARLINGTON – The Dallas Cowboys, currently holding the No. 3 spot in the NFC East with a 3-5 record, are seeking a much-needed morale boost as they prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles.
Coming off a close 27-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the Cowboys suffered another setback with quarterback Dak Prescott’s hamstring injury, which has landed him on injured reserve and may sideline him for the remainder of the season. In his absence, Cooper Rush is expected to take over at quarterback, though owner Jerry Jones hinted that backup Trey Lance could see action in special packages.
The Cowboys’ season has been marked by injuries and a recent three-game losing streak, which has put additional pressure on the team to regroup. One potential spark for Dallas could be the return of defensive star Micah Parsons. Sidelined for a month with a high ankle sprain, Parsons has resumed practice this week, and head coach Mike McCarthy suggested that his progress is promising for a return against the Eagles.
