Kickoff between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7 of the 2019 season is almost upon us. The teams have now officially declared their inactive players for tonight, and the Cowboys’ list comes with many sighs of relief.
After a week of worrying that several starters and other key players could miss this pivotal game, Dallas should have most of them on hand.
Cowboys inactives: Devin Smith, Anthony Brown, Luke Gifford, Adam Redmond, Brandon Knight, Justin Hamilton, Dorance Armstrong.

Losing Anthony Brown, who is essentially a starter as the nickel corner, isn’t great. But it will mean more playing time for Jourdan Lewis, and to some that could be a blessing in disguise.
Not on this list are Amari Cooper, Randall Cobb, Tyron Smith, La’el Collins, and Byron Jones, all of whom had concerns earlier in the week about their availability to play.
As for Philadelphia, their inactive list features several key names
Ronald Darby is active for the #Eagles. Rookie Shareef Miller active for the first time.
The inactives for tonight’s game against the Cowboys: DeSean Jackson, Avonte Maddox, Darren Sproles, Nigel Bradham, Nate Herbig, Jason Peters, Tim Jernigan.

You can read more analysis of the Eagles’ missing players here. But just to summarize, that’s two offensive starters(Jackson, Peters) and three from the defense (Jernigan, Bradham, Maddox) who won’t be playing in Dallas tonight.
Will these injuries decide the game? Will Dallas take advantage or will Philly overcome?
We’re about to find out!
