Eagles-Cowboys injury report: Four Eagles players questionable, Dez Bryant probable

The Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys have released their final injury reports before the two teams square off on Sunday Night Football.

The three players that are ruled probable to play for Philadelphia are inside linebacker Kiko Alonso (knee),  linebacker Bryan Braman (shoulder) and defensive end Brandon Bair (groin).

Alonso injured his during the first meeting with the Cowboys in Week 2. Alonso will share snaps with rookie Jordan Hicks and Mychal Kendricks at the inside linebacker position.

The four players that are questionable for the Eagles are left tackle Jason Peters (back), running back Ryan Mathews (groin), rookie wide receiver Nelson Agholor (ankle) and inside linebacker DeMeco Ryans (hamstring).

Peters was seen stretching during Tuesday's light workout, but he didn't practice at all through the remainder of the week.

If Peters can't give it a go for the first time in 40 games, Lane Johnson will slide from right tackle to left tackle. Allen Barbre will stay at left guard. Jason Kelce will play center. Matt Tobin, who played left tackle in replace of Peters in Week 7, will stick at right guard. Dennis Kelly will start at right tackle. 

Mathews practiced in full on Friday after not practicing at all Thursday. He told reporters that he will be out there on Sunday night. 

Agholor practiced in full throughout the week of practice. He hasn't played since getting injured in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints

Ryans is dealing with a nagging hamstring injury that kept him sidelined from the Carolina game. With Alonso, Hicks and Kendricks ready to play, the Eagles might not rush their veteran leader back too soon.
