While the Eagles have to worry about their Week 9 game against the Jaguars, their Week 10 game might have just gotten a lot easier.
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had to leave in the second half against the Falcons on Sunday and was ruled out. So there’s a chance he won’t be able to play the Eagles in Week 10.
The Falcons went up 27-13 over the Cowboys (3-5) in the fourth quarter just as Prescott was ruled out. The Cowboys lost 27-21.
The Eagles will play the Cowboys in Dallas next Sunday in a 4:25 p.m. kickoff. If the Cowboys don’t have Prescott, they will have to start Cooper Rush, who replaced Prescott on Sunday.
