Philadelphia Eagles Lose DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks Ahead of Dallas Cowboys Clash
The Philadelphia Eagles will face the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night without wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, espndeportes.espn.com reported. Tim McManus covers the team for ESPN. Both players have been ruled out for the divisional matchup due to injuries.
Injury Timeline and Practice Absences
DeVonta Smith’s absence stems from a lingering hamstring issue that began during the summer training camp. He initially aggravated the injury during a Week 2 game against the Tennessee Titans, pointing to dehydration from the Nashville heat as a potential factor. After playing through the pain the following week, he missed two games. Smith returned last Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, recording seven receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown, but failed to practice this week.
Dontayvion Wicks landed on the injury report this week with an ankle injury. This marks the first game he will miss with the Eagles.
Status of Other Key Offensive Players
While the receiving corps takes a significant hit, tight end Dallas Goedert hopes to play through a knee injury despite missing the first two days of practice. Saquon Barkley, dealing with a hamstring issue, and offensive lineman Landon Dickerson, managing knee and pectoral problems, might return for the contest, though their participation remains uncertain.
On the defensive side, Nolan Smith has been ruled out with a concussion. Lineman Jonathan Greenard is listed as questionable with an ankle injury, telling reporters on Friday that his game-day status will be a game-time decision.
