Zach Ertz (COVID) is active for Week 3 against the Cowboys Monday night.​

Ertz spent five days on the COVID list before being activated Saturday. He's ready to roll, filling his role next to Dallas Goedert in the Eagles' TE committee. Inactive for the Eagles are QB Gardner Minshew, S Rodney McLeod, LT Jordan Mailata, LB Davion Taylor, and OG Jack Anderson.

Cowboys declared QB Will Grier, S Donovan Wilson, OT Ty Nskehe, DT Carlos Watkins, and DE Dorance Armstrong inactive for Week 3 against the Eagles.​

No surprises here. Grier is the third quarterback. Armstrong has an ankle injury.

Some interesting notes in this rivalry I found:

• The Bounty Bowls (I and II) and – 1989 meetings were nicknamed the Bounty Bowls, due to the accusation by Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson that the Eagles had set a bounty on Dallas players, particularly quarterback Troy Aikman and kicker Luis Zendejas. In the second game at Veterans Stadium, Eagles fans threw snowballs, ice, and beer onto the field. Several game participants were targeted, including back judge Al Jury and Cowboys punter Mike Saxon (both struck by snowballs), as well as Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson, who was hit with objects as he was escorted off the field by the Philadelphia Police Department. The Eagles won both Bounty Bowl games; 27–0 at Dallas and 20–10 in Philadelphia.
• In October 1990, the Eagles and Cowboys met for what became known as the "Porkchop Bowl". The week before game day in Dallas, Philadelphia head coach Buddy Ryan and Ted Plumb, his offensive coordinator were out for dinner. Ryan was dining on pork chops and started to choke. Plumb quickly initiated the Heimlich maneuver and saved Ryan's life. Word of the incident spread in Dallas, and hatred by Dallas fans was so fevered towards Ryan that former Cowboys' president Tex Schramm dubbed the pending game on October 28 the "Porkchop Bowl." When the game began, Dallas fans tossed pork chops and similar simulated meat products from the stands toward the Eagles bench.

Nice running by the Cowboys. The Eagles got burned there. It seemed Philly was not ready for this power running look from Dallas.

This the type of game we are getting?

Dallas picks off Hurts.

 

[Iggloo]

Jalen Hurts...what was that throw?

 

[Schmoopy1000]

this turnover is more on the eagles than the Cowboys defense. But what the hell is going on with the Cowboys defense getting so many turnovers.
I think we played most of the season last year to get to this many turnovers so far this year.

 

[Pure Steel]

That hurts…..

 

[Iggloo]

It certainly looked like either he underthrew it. I guess perhaps it was supposed to be an underthrown ball or Reagor didn't run it right, because Reagor does that. Either way it looked bad.

 

[Iggloo]

BOOM!

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Oh wow

 

[Schmoopy1000]

That hurts…..

Dak hurts ....er.... I mean that hurts.
