Although the initial thought of the Dallas Cowboys heading into Week 1 of the regular season against the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles without their best defensive player, Micah Parsons, is jarring, the team has no time for heartfelt goodbyes. The Cowboys need to shift their efforts to getting newcomer Kenny Clark up to speed and finding a way to stop the Eagles’ running attack. That all starts with players who will be on the field Thursday. As we get closer to kickoff, we start to get an idea of who will be in uniform as the Cowboys look to spoil the Eagles’ celebratory festivities and secure the upset win over Philadelphia. At long last, football is upon us with our first injury news of the 2025 season.
Great news to start the week. Cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) was back on the field working in drills. In speaking with reporters, he said his knee feels good and said he did “everything” in practice today.
The good news keeps rolling in as Tyler Guyton also practiced today after suffering a knee injury early in training camp. Guyton said he plans to play Thursday although it has not been confirmed yet, but seeing him on the field this early in the week is a positive sign, indicating he may be on track to play versus the Eagles.
However, unfortunately for Dallas, defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey left practice early with what has been described as a back injury. Hopefully, it’s a minor tweak and Winfrey can return to practice this week to help against the Eagles offensive line.
And speaking of the Eagles offensive line, they are having some offensive line injury news of their own. Three-time Pro Bowler Landon Dickerson, who sustained a meniscus injury over the summer, practiced today and was doing individual work on the field after having surgery almost three weeks ago. Also, rookie safety Andrew Mukuba was back at practice after missing time with a hamstring injury. He’s a highly-touted rookie that will give the Eagles secondary a boost if he is healthy enough to play Thursday.
