The Cowboys will be without some core defensive pieces.
Running back Ezekiel Elliott (calf) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Eagles.
Elliott did not play against the 49ers last Sunday but has practiced on a limited basis this week and says his calf is feeling better. The Cowboys did not practice Friday, but Elliott would have been a limited participant, according to the injury report. The team is expected to practice Saturday.
Four Cowboys defensive players have been officially ruled out of Sunday’s game: linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (ankle), defensive tackle Antwaun Woods (ankle), safety Xavier Woods (ribs) and cornerback Rashard Robinson (ankle).
