Eagles vs. Cowboys injury report

He’s back “with the boys” and that makes tight end Dallas Goedert smile. After missing three games due to the hamstring injury he suffered early in the win over Cleveland, Goedert returned to the practice field at the NovaCare Complex Wednesday ready to play.

With a huge smile on his face.

“It was a lot of fun being out there, just being in the crowd. It feels really good,” said Goedert, who has 24 catches for 301 yards this season. “With soft tissue injuries, you just have to make sure you give yourself enough time. I did everything I could to get back as quickly as possible, but I like where I am now. It feels good and I'm looking forward to attacking it the rest of the way.

It's unclear if Goedert will play in Dallas on Sunday, but he's clearly aiming to return. Goedert remained strong in his away period as the offense got going, scoring 28 points, 37 points and 28 points in the three complete games he missed (Goedert was injured for three games in the 20-16 win over Cleveland). .

“It's always frustrating, but you just have to take what comes at you,” he said. “I never want to get hurt, but you just have to make sure you keep a positive attitude and when you come back you're in the best shape possible, you paid attention in the meetings, so you.” I know all the little nuances of things, that we have changed in the last few weeks. For me it's just the anticipation of the day I come back that keeps me motivated and keeps me positive.

The Eagles held a walkthrough on Wednesday, but if the team had held a practice, Goedert would have been a full participant.

Three Eagles did not participate in a full practice – wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring), linebacker Nolan Smith (groin) and linebacker Ben VanSumeren (concussion).

*Reminder that the Eagles held a walkthrough on Wednesday. The injury report is an estimate.

Micah Parsons is on track to return against the Eagles

Micah Parsons was limited in his return to practice on Wednesday as the All-Pro linebacker has missed the last five games with an ankle injury. If all goes according to the team's plans, Parsons, who still leads the Cowboys with 21 QB pressures, will play against the Eagles.

Quarterback Dak Prescott could go to injured reserve any day due to the hamstring injury he suffered Sunday against Atlanta. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was a limited participant due to a shoulder injury he suffered against the Falcons.

All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland was placed on injured reserve but is still not practicing because of a foot injury that sidelined him all season. Bland's counterpart, Trevon Diggs, was limited on Wednesday with a calf injury. Diggs missed practice before the Falcons game last week but played on game day.

All-Pro guard Zack Martin has battled numerous injuries this season despite playing in every game. Martin did not take part in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury.

Eric Kendricks, the starting middle linebacker, did not practice due to a lingering shoulder injury that kept him from some practices in recent weeks.

Defensive back Juanyeh Thomas (concussion) and outside linebacker Nick Vigil (foot) did not practice on Wednesday.
