On Friday, the team officially declared nickel corner Sidney Jones out for Sunday night's encounter with the Dallas Cowboys, Jones still recovering from a hamstring injury suffered Oct. 11 against the Giants.

Dexter McDougle, who filled in for Jones against Carolina and Jacksonville, was released this week when the Eagles claimed corner Cre'Von LeBlanc on waivers from Detroit.

So, Dallas's Cole Beasley, one of the NFL's better slot receivers, is headed to town.
