IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys have ruled defensive tackle Josh Brent out of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Brent (calf) had been listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report. He played in his first game in two years on Dec. 4 against the Chicago Bears, making two tackles in 22 snaps. The Cowboys had hoped Brent's size would help combat a Philadelphia running game that gained 256 yards in its 33-10 win on Thanksgiving.

Disappointing... I was looking forward to seeing if he could plug the middle and slow McCoy down... but I really think
Rolando McClain being healthy the whole game will make a bigger difference in stopping McCoy than Brent would anyway....
Maybe Crawford will blow up... Also, would love to see a sack fumble from D. Lawrence at some point in the game.

Golden Cock is going to have the best game of his career. He is even going to get a sack!

Rolando Mcclain and Church had probably their worst games against the Eagles. Hopefully they come to play this week.

I had a feeling he wasn't going to play...it is hard to get him in the line-up when they can't sub as much...so, when he did get put in, he would be in for an entire series...he isn't ready for that
