Injury report
The biggest news out of Dallas is on coach Mike McCarthy, who missed this week's practice due to abdominal pain. He was diagnosed with acute appendicitis. He is expected to be back by Sunday's game.
Regarding players, offensive tackles Tyron Smith and Matt Waletzko and guard Zack Martin are all still doubtful.
However, the Eagles have a thicker injury report.
Wide receiver Julio Jones (groin) and cornerback Darius Slay (knee) are still out.
There is some good news, though, as Zach Cunningham confirmed he will be available Sunday.
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni is back in the drawing board as his team hopes to recover from last week's outing.
He is seeking more movement from his team.
"Sometimes the answer is to add this wrinkle or that wrinkle," Sirianni told reporters. "Against a team that [motions a lot] ... [the message] is just to make sure everybody is on the same page. I think that's where we just didn't do a good enough job of just making sure everyone was on the same page."
"We have to put the players in better positions to succeed. ... I just want to make sure everyone's clear on that when there is a mistake like that, that falls on the head coach ... that falls on me. And we'll be better from that."
Cowboys vs. Eagles Week 14 Pick
While the Cowboys are the favorites to win the match among bookmakers, the Eagles are too composed to lose two straight games.
