New reporting from ESPN’s Tim McManus states Jalen Hurts is indeed dealing with an ankle injury.
According to a league source, Hurts has been dealing with a mild ankle issue for a couple weeks. A separate league source described it as “lower leg soreness” and that his limited practice Wednesday was for load management purposes, with the Eagles playing two games in a span of five days against the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders. The source added that Hurts was held back from dropping and planting during the individual periods but did throw the football later Wednesday during team walkthrough.
The Cowboys’ best chance at staging an upset.
The Eagles should destroy the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday at 4:25 p.m. at AT&T Stadium. Then again, the Eagles, up 22-0 at one point, should have destroyed the Jacksonville Jaguars, and just got by. Then again, the Eagles, up 10-0, looked like they were going to destroy the Cleveland Browns, and just got by.

CeeDee Lamb, who was in good spirits in the locker room, practiced fully Friaday and has no injury designation for this week’s game. According to head coach Mike McCarthy, Tyler Guyton, was “very limited” today and is questionable to play versus the Eagles. Guard Zack Martin (shoulder) had missed the first two days of practice, but was upgraded to full participation today and also does not carry an injury designation and will play Sunday.
Also cited as questionable is Eric Kendricks, who is working through his own shoulder injury. Kendricks managed to get another limited practice Friday, leaning towards optimism that he can suit up versus the Eagles.
DaRon Bland (foot) has been ruled out after three consecutive DNPs this week. Calen Carson and Trevon Diggs should be the starting cornerbacks again this week. Carson (shoulder) practiced fully this week for all three days. Meanwhile, Diggs (calf/ilness), did not practice Friday although he has been listed as questionable. Safety Juanyeh Thomas did not clear...
