More about the Eagles’ top two wide receivers -- DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks -- being ruled out of Monday night's Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: Philadelphia listed DeVonta Smith out with a hamstring injury and Dontayvion Wicks out with an ankle designation for the NFC East matchup, per Tim McManus and Adam Schefter. The double absence leaves the Eagles without their top two perimeter options after both receivers appeared on the Week 6 injury report.

Why it matters: Philadelphia holds the No. 11 conference seed and faces an immediate test to its passing attack against a division rival sitting directly behind at No. 12. With both primary wideouts unavailable, the offense must redistribute targets to its depth receivers as it tries to snap a four-game slide.

By the numbers: Both clubs enter with 2-4 records after dropping their Oct. 18 games, with Philadelphia falling 25-14 (L4 streak) and Dallas losing 23-13 (L2 streak).

What to watch: Philadelphia and Dallas kick off Monday night, with final game-day inactive lists due 90 minutes before kickoff.
