Eagles inactives vs. Cowboys: Jonathan Greenard and Saquon Barkley are back

The Eagles will try to end their four-game losing streak without two key receivers and a key pass rusher as they face the Cowboys on Monday night. DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks and Nolan Smith headline Philadelphia’s inactive list. However, outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard is active after entering the game listed as questionable with an ankle injury.

Joe Milton will serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Tanner McKee, while rookie Cole Payton is inactive and designated as the emergency third quarterback.

Philadelphia’s full inactive list:

• OLB Nolan Smith
• WR DeVonta Smith
• WR Dontayvion Wicks
• QB Cole Payton — emergency third quarterback
• DB Michael Carter II
• C Jake Majors

The absences of DeVonta Smith and Wicks leave McKee with a depleted receiving group, increasing the importance of Philadelphia’s available pass catchers and tight ends.

Rookie tight end Eli Stowers is active and set to make his NFL debut after being activated from injured reserve earlier Monday. The Eagles also activated guard Landon Dickerson and tight end Grant Calcaterra, restoring options to an offense searching for consistency.

Greenard’s availability provides help on the edge with Nolan Smith sidelined. Philadelphia enters the divisional matchup at 2-4, needing its available contributors to help reverse a difficult stretch.
