Eagles player status for Monday night against the Cowboys: OUT – DB Michael Carter (abdomen), WR DeVonta Smith (hamstrin Via @JamesPalmerTV on X

What happened: Philadelphia also ruled out defensive back Michael Carter (abdomen) while listing cornerback Jakorian Bennett (knee) and tight end Grant Calcaterra as questionable against Dallas, per James Palmer. Barkley (hamstring) was on the field for the start of Saturday's practice, whereas Smith (hamstring) and Wicks (ankle) did not participate.

Why it matters: The NFC East matchup pairs an Eagles squad that previously ruled out Smith and Barkley on Oct. 9 against a Cowboys team looking to halt a two-game skid. Getting Bennett and Calcaterra back in the lineup would bolster Philadelphia's depth after the club placed both players on injured reserve on Oct. 14.

By the numbers: Philadelphia (2-4, 11th seed) enters on a four-game losing streak after a 25-14 defeat on Oct. 18, while Dallas (2-4, 12th seed) has dropped two straight following a 23-13 loss on Oct. 18. Per ESPN, Wicks caught 30 passes for 332 yards and two touchdowns across 14 games in 2025, Calcaterra totaled nine receptions for 76 yards and one touchdown in 15 games with the Eagles in 2025, and Bennett made seven tackles in 11 games for Philadelphia in 2025.

What to watch: Philadelphia and Dallas meet Monday night, with official inactives due 90 minutes before kickoff to confirm final availability for Barkley, Bennett and Calcaterra.
