The biggest news come sin the way of Brandon Graham. The star defensive end will not play against the Cowboys. Graham,’s ankle injury has kept him out of practice all week and this will likely see Derek Barnett see an increased number of snaps. The Eagles are playing it safe here, a meaningless game and a banged up star defensive end with an extended period to rest? The team are wisely taking that.

Despite being a full participant in practice today, Jalen Mills has officially been listed as questionable. The LSU product has started every game for the Eagles this year, acting as an anchor for the Eagles to rely on outside. Should Mills be unable to play on Sunday after picking up an ankle injury against the Raiders, expect Rasul Douglas to step in as he did when Mills exited the game on Sunday.

Joe Walker was listed as out missing practice with a neck injury. At this point in the year after a streak of games hampered by the same issues, it looks like 32-year old Dannell Ellerbe will be the starting MLB moving forward.
