4 reasons the Philadelphia Eagles will beat the Dallas Cowboys
By David Esser
Reinforcements are on the way.
The Philadelphia Eagles have been one of the most injured teams in all of football this season (surprise surprise!). Their offensive line has been relegated to that of fourth stringers, their wide receiver position consists of guys signed off the street, Richard Rodgers is the team’s TE1 at the moment, and their secondary has been all sorts of banged up.
However, reinforcements are finally on the way.
As I’m writing this, first-round WR Jalen Reagor is expected to be a full participant this weekend. Jason Peters and Dallas Goedert were both at practice in some fashion, rookie safety K’Von Wallace was listed as “FULL” on the injury report, and both TJ Edwards and Avonte Maddox are reportedly back to 100%.
Not only do the returning players give the Eagles some much added depth, but it allows them to return to their originally designed playbook. Guys like Reagor and Goedert were projected to play huge rolls within the offense this season, and their absence was severely missed the last couple of weeks.
Even guys like Wallace and Edwards allows Jim Schwartz to get a little more creative on the defensive side of things.

This week’s game against Dallas has some fairly big longterm implications for the Eagles. A resounding win might push the team to go all in on making the playoffs, whereas a loss could see the team sell hard at the deadline. Fingers crossed on the “win” part.
