Week 7 of Monday Night Football is here, and for the Philadelphia Eagles, it is a crucial one at home against the Dallas Cowboys. The Birds are getting hit with some tough news right at kickoff, as receiver DeVonta Smith is officially out again with a hamstring injury, which is a major blow to their offense when they need it most.
Injury Report Hits Hard
While the Eagles get a few key guys back from injury,Landon Dickerson, Eli Stowers, and Grant Calcaterra,losing Smith again is a gut punch. Things have not looked encouraging for the Eagles the past few weeks, and not having Smith on the field certainly doesn’t help turn that around. They’re going to need everyone stepping up tonight to make up for his absence against a tough rival.
Defense Under Pressure, Big Time
The injury woes don’t stop there. The sheer number of snaps the defense has been forced to play in recent weeks is just not sustainable long term, especially with some of their depth already being tested due to previous injuries. The D needs a breather, plain and simple. Hopefully, the Eagles’ offense can find a way to get going and stay on the field, giving the defense some much needed time to recover tonight. After how things have looked lately, we can only hope this Monday night showdown isn’t as embarrassing. It’s a new day, and it’s always a good day to beat the Cowboys.
