What happened: Philadelphia returned guard Landon Dickerson (knee) and tight ends Grant Calcaterra (back) and Eli Stowers (quadriceps) to the 53-man roster from injured reserve ahead of Monday night's divisional matchup against Dallas. The club also elevated running back Elijah Mitchell, signed Oct. 20, and outside linebacker Keyshawn James-Newby for the game. Dickerson, Calcaterra and Stowers had their practice windows opened Oct. 14 before missing the Week 6 defeat to Carolina.

Why it matters: Getting Dickerson back reinforces the interior offensive line, while Calcaterra and second-round rookie Stowers replenish the tight end rotation as Philadelphia works to halt a four-game skid. Cornerback Jakorian Bennett (knee), whose practice window also opened Oct. 14, remains on injured reserve.

By the numbers: Philadelphia enters Monday at 2-4 (No. 11 NFC seed) on a four-game losing streak following a 25-14 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 18. Stowers (drafted 54th overall in 2026 out of Vanderbilt) and Calcaterra (drafted 198th overall in 2022 out of SMU) had both been placed on injured reserve Oct. 14, while Mitchell joined the roster after being drafted 194th overall by San Francisco in 2021.

What to watch: Dickerson, Calcaterra, Stowers, Mitchell and James-Newby are eligible to suit up Monday night when Philadelphia takes on the Cowboys.
