What happened: Philadelphia brought guard Landon Dickerson (knee) and tight ends Grant Calcaterra (back) and Eli Stowers (quadriceps) onto the 53-man roster ahead of Monday night's matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. Outside linebacker Keyshawn James-Newby joins running back Elijah Mitchell as standard practice-squad elevations for Week 7. Cornerback Jakorian Bennett remains on injured reserve with a knee injury after the quartet missed the Oct. 18 loss to Carolina.

Why it matters: The offensive reinforcements arrive with the 11th-seeded Eagles sitting at 2-4 on a four-game losing streak following their 25-14 defeat against the Panthers. Stowers, selected 54th overall out of Vanderbilt in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, is in line for his NFL debut after Philadelphia opened practice windows for the four players on Oct. 14. Mitchell adds backfield depth six days after signing with the club on Oct. 20.

By the numbers: Philadelphia enters Monday night 2-4 overall (No. 11 seed, L4 streak) after falling 25-14 to Carolina on Oct. 18. Stowers (No. 54 overall, 2026) and Calcaterra (No. 198 overall, 2022) both went on injured reserve Oct. 14 before spending 12 days in their return windows, while Mitchell (No. 194 overall, 2021) dresses six days after his Oct. 20 signing.

What to watch: Official game-day inactives release 90 minutes before Monday night's kickoff against Dallas, setting the rotation for Dickerson, Calcaterra, Stowers, Mitchell and James-Newby. Bennett's next chance to return from injured reserve comes in Week 8.
