ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Greetings from the press box at AT&T Stadium, where the Philadelphia Eagles will take on the Dallas Cowboys in an NFC East clash on Sunday.

The Eagles (8-2) are looking to all but wrap up the division and continue their pursuit of the NFC’s No. 1 seed. The Cowboys (4-5-1), meanwhile, are trying to make a playoff push.

The Eagles, as expected, will be without All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson, who suffered a foot injury last week that could keep him out until the postseason. Fred Johnson will make his first of many important starts this season.

QB Sam Howell, RB A.J. Dillon, CB Mac McWilliams and DT Ty Robinson are also inactives for the Birds.

Follow along all day for updates from AT&T Stadium. But in the meantime, here’s some pregame reading.
