DE Dorance Armstrong (ankle), DT Carlos Wat-

for Monday’s game against the Eagles, LB Keanu

return to play in Eagles game.

~~~

Offense

OT La'el Collins - Eagles game would be the 2nd
game missed after a 5 game suspension for fail-
ure to get scheduled drug tests, unlikely to be re-
versed, so it appears Terence Steele will replace
Collins & Terence played well in game against the
Chargers.

La'el currently can return after week 6 (week 7 is
bye week) & can play in game 8 (vs Vikings).

WR Michael Gallup - Eagles game would be 2nd
game missed after 4th quarter injury in game 1.
Will be eligible to return from IR after 4th game,
but no reports on how his rehab is going. Cedrick
Wilson did good job replacing Michael in game
against the Chargers.

WR Amari Cooper - bruised ribs in Chargers game,
not practicing, has not been ruled out for Eagles
game, typically Amari plays thru injuries even if
missing practices. If out, will be replaced by Noah
Brown &/or Semi Fehoko.

OT Ty Nsekhe - backup offensive tackle, ruled out
for Eagles game.

~~~

Defense

DE Dorance Armstrong - ruled out for Eagles game,
played well in taking Randy Gregory's spot as Randy
was out due to Covid. Randy is back for Eagles game.

DT Carlos Watkins - ruled out for Eagles game, Brent
Urban or Quinton Bohanna would take his spot per
the depth chart. DT Neville Gallimore eligible to re-
turn from Injured Reserve after Eagles game, but as
far as his return, the following article posted a few ...

.... days ago says "Gallimore is already ramping up his
workouts and should be returning next month."
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/pointcounterpoint-2021-is-looking-too-much-like-2020-for-the-cowboys/ar-AAOABJ7?ocid=BingNewsSearch

Well, next month covers weeks 4 thru 8, so that "should
be" and "next month" doesn't say when he will return.

LB Keanu Neal - on Covid list, unknown if he'll be able
to play in Eagles game.

S Donovan Wilson - missed Chargers game, is still deal-
ing with a groin injury, not expected to practice Thursday,
unknown if he'll miss Eagles game. His replacement in
Chargers game, Jayron Kearse, played well.

DE/LB Micah Parsons - excelled playing DE vs Chargers,
unclear how often he'll line up at DE & LB vs Eagles.

Follow-up: I neglected to mention that Micah
Parsons was playing DE in Chargers game due
to DE Demarcus Lawrence being out due to
freak foot injury, 6 to 8 games, which would ...

.... make Demarcus's return occur in week 8 vs
Vikings at the earliest, or in week 9 vs Broncos
or in week 10 vs Falcons if his rehab takes 9
weeks rather than 8.

See top of this reply for details on DE Demarcus

Per following article, La'el's suspension would
have been reduced to 2 games if Collins hadn't
tried to bribe the drug-test collector, ESPN re-
ported Sunday.

Amari not on injury reports & will try to play
vs Eagles though it appears to be a lingering
injury that may recur during the game.

It's worse than that. The suspension *was* reduced to 2 games.
That's all he would have gotten if he did not appeal.
