Eagles face new offensive line uncertainty before Dallas showdown

Even though the Philadelphia Eagles have won two straight games since returning from their Bye Week, the team has only scored a total of 26 points. In the first eight games this season, the Eagles were averaging 26 Points per game.

Injuries on the Offensive Line have been an issue since Training Camp. Left Guard Landon Dickerson, Center Cam Jurgens, and Right Tackle Lane Johnson have all missed time this season with injuries.

The latest injury impacting the Eagles and their offense is the reports that All-Pro Lane Johnson will be out for potentially the rest of the 2025 NFL season after sustaining a Lisfranc sprain. Johnson had previously suffered an ankle injury during games that kept him off the field.

Since Johnson was selected with the fourth overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Eagles are 15-24 when he is not starting at Right Tackle. Now, Philadelphia has to prepare for a Dallas Cowboys team that has scored 40 or more points in three of their four home games this season.

The Cowboys are the healthiest they have been since September with three key defensive players returning to the field in recent weeks. While Dallas's defense is allowing 27.25 Points Per Game Against in their last four games, their Pass Rush is one of the best in the NFL with 114 QB Pressures (2nd best in the NFL), and 49 QB Hurries (Best in the NFL).

What Players Will Be Available For Eagles at Cowboys This Sunday?

After missing Wednesday's Practice,Center Cam Jurgens was a Limited Participant on Thursday and was on the practice field again on Friday. Jurgens has been working through the Concussion Protocol this week, and must be cleared to play before the team flies to Dallas on Saturday afternoon. Philadelphia's Starting Center is one of three players listed as Questionable to play.

The Eagles plan to start Fred Johnson at Right Tackle in place of four-time All-Pro Selection Lane Johnson. The 28-year-old Offensive Lineman from the University of Florida has started 15 games over the past seven NFL seasons, and he did not practice at all this week.

The two other Eagles players who are listed as Questionable for Sunday's game are Willie Lampkin (Knee/Ankle Injuries), and Myles Hinton (Back Issue). Both are backup offensive linemen who are returning from Injured Reserve, and they must be activated before 4pm on Saturday to be available for Sunday's game.

The Cowboys list two players as Questionable to play against the Eagles: Defensive End Jadeveon Clowney (Shoulder/Neck Injuries), and Offensive Tackle Hakeem Adeniji (Illness).

Clowney is a backup Pass Rusher for Dallas but he has accounted for 12 percent of their QB pressures this season. Adeniji is in his first season with the Cowboys, and is the backup Right Tackle for Dallas.
