I used to run marathons and had a groin pull about 25 years ago. Man that can really be a nagging problem that takes time to fully heal. I’m sure he’s going to be very limited in practice this week.

If Dak still can’t go the coaching staff needs to think long and hard about how hard they want to push the walking wounded to win a game we realistically aren’t going to without our starting QB.
This is a joke,right? We literally won 4 in a row without the starting QB and 2 of those teams were in the SB,now all of a sudden we are going to realistically lose because
of the backup qb..what does that even mean?

There's some good logic in that though we are constantly being surprised at just how good this defense is and Rush keeps providing what is needed,,, could be this game is winnable and hanging a loss on Philly is a priority. They've got the easier schedule.

It means we need to generate more offensive fire power to go along with this defense.

Its not smart to push a rare talent to play in a single regular-season game if it risks their long term ability to play at a transcendent level. You don't use your Maserati as a daily commuter car....

I agree but that Could have been said about every game we won,what makes the eagles different? We just beat the SB champs,and the eagles aren't them.

If the Eagles weren't a division game, I think you'd see people sitting to get healthy. But, this is a game that could legitimately wind up deciding the division. Every one who can play should play.
Only if there's a good chance of winning. If that possibility is too far fetched, we should depend on everyone else to step up and give it their best.

And marathon runners don't have to move laterally, backward, or push 300+ lb. athletes around.

Those with groin injury experience know that it ain't no fun.

I'd bet Parsons' is killing him today. Sitting on the plane back, then sleeping...youza!

I flinched over and over watching him play through that play after play, then wince in sudden pain immediately after. What an absolute warrior he is.

But the Cowboys need to be careful here. We all want this Eagles win worse than any game so far, but at what cost?

I hope they're judicious with this.

I hear ya. It can be bad. But we really don't know. If nothing else, he needs to be out there just so that Philly has to account for him.

Rams have had their struggles, I don't make lite of the fact we beat them. Big win. As for Philly they are an improved team Hurts in making plays inside and outside the pocket, Miles Sanders is 3rd in the NFL in rushing and defensively playing good ball 17.5 points a game. I'm not going to under estimate Philly, I do think Cowboys are very capable to going out and winning this game but this is no give me game.

About to see that the Rush vs Dak, Zeke vs Pollard, Dalton vs Ferguson, and so on, means absolutely nothing without a healthy #11.

No game is a give me game,I underestimate no team..but considering who they have played and who we have played,I like our chances,but that's just me.. believe me,I had us at no chance yesterday but the crow I ate was worth it.
