ARLINGTON, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys are set to welcome back Micah Parsons for their match against the Philadelphia Eagles, marking the end of his four-game absence due to a high ankle sprain.

This represents the first time in the two-time All-Pro’s four-year career that he has missed games due to injury. The Cowboys approach this crucial matchup after suffering three consecutive defeats, while the Eagles come in riding a four-game winning streak.

In addition, Philadelphia tight end Dallas Goedert is ready to play following a three-game layoff due to a hamstring injury.

Unfortunately for the Cowboys, quarterback Dak Prescott has been ruled out due to a torn hamstring and may require season-ending surgery. Cooper Rush will take over as the starter in Prescott’s place. Rush previously stepped in for an injured Prescott two years ago and managed an impressive 4-1 record during that stint.

On the Cowboys’ offensive line, left tackle Tyler Guyton will not be participating as he continues to deal with a neck injury that has affected him in recent weeks.

Furthermore, cornerback DaRon Bland remains sidelined following surgery for a stress fracture in his foot late in the preseason. Although the Cowboys activated Bland by opening his return-to-play window, he has still been experiencing lingering symptoms. Last season, he notably set an NFL record by returning five interceptions for touchdowns.

Overall, both teams face critical conditions as they prepare to meet, with Dallas striving to turn around their recent fortunes and Philadelphia looking to maintain its winning momentum.
