The Eagles will have key players back for Monday night against Dallas: Saquon Barkley returns from a hamstring injury, while outside linebackers Jalyx Hunt and Jonathan Greenard are active despite recent injuries. Philadelphia also activated tight end Eli Stowers, who is set to make his NFL debut, but will be without DeVonta Smith and several other injured players.

By the Numbers
  • 3 previously questionable Eagles — Barkley, Hunt and Greenard — are active.
  • 4 Eagles were ruled out with injuries Saturday: DeVonta Smith, Nolan Smith, Dontayvion Wicks and Michael Carter II.
  • 3 Cowboys were ruled out: Drew Shelton, KaVontae Turpin and Dee Winters.
Yes, But

Barkley’s return boosts the offense, but he is coming back after missing time with a hamstring injury. Philadelphia’s active list also includes Greenard, who missed practice all week with an ankle injury.

State of Play
  • Rookie Cole Payton is the emergency third quarterback; Joe Milton III moves into the backup role behind Tanner McKee.
  • Eli Stowers, a second-round pick, is set to make his NFL debut.
  • Jake Majors is inactive after starting at center against the Jaguars and Panthers.
What's Next

The Eagles host the Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field on Monday Night Football. Barkley’s return and Stowers’ debut are key storylines as Philadelphia faces a Dallas team also missing three players with injuries.

Bottom Line

Philadelphia gets important reinforcements, but its lineup remains short-handed. How effectively the returning players handle their first game back could shape the matchup.
