There is nothing but good news from an injury perspective coming from Eagles camp as they prepare for their Sunday night showdown with the Dallas Cowboys.
The entire team practiced for a second straight day. The following players were listed on the injury report, but as full participants: safety Nate Allen (knee), defensive end Trent Cole (calf), offensive tackle King Dunlap (back), offensive tackle Todd Herremans (foot), offensive tackle Winston Justice (knee), defensive end Juqua Parker (ankle), offensive tackle Jason Peters (hamstring) and defensive end Darryl Tapp (pectoral).
Defensive end Brandon Graham has practiced this week, but is not listed on the report because he's not on the 53-man active roster. Graham hoped to be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list for Sunday's game. One of the reasons is that it was the game in Dallas last season where he suffered his knee injury. If he is not activated for this week's game, Graham expects to be up for the Monday night game against the Bears.
"We've got 10 games left. I want to be in all 10 games," Graham said. "I hope to be in the game this week, but I've got it next week for sure."
The challenge for Graham is to get back in football shape, which he said he would expect to take a week. Graham did say that he wants to lose 10 pounds to get to 260 so he could be a little faster coming off the ball.
Having not practiced all season until this week, Graham is finally getting to work in defensive line coach Jim Washburn's scheme. As Graham put it, he is the "talk of the (meeting) room right now."
"Everything I do is criticized to the max," Graham said. "That's what I expected, but it's all fun. He's been getting on me a whole lot."
RB JONES SIDELINED AGAIN
It looks like rookie running back DeMarco Murray could make his first career start against the Eagles.
Running back Felix Jones missed practice for a second straight day due to an ankle injury and his status for this Sunday's game remains in doubt. Tashard Choice, who started in Jones' place last week, was limited with a shoulder injury.
Murray set the franchise rushing record with 253 yards against the Rams last Sunday.
Jones was the only player not to take part in practice for the Cowboys. Starting guard Kyle Kosier (foot) and starting defensive end Jason Hatcher (calf) were limited as was backup guard Derrick Dockery.
In fact, the only change on the Cowboys report from Wednesday was that punter Mat McBriar was added with a foot injury, but he was a full participant. Quarterback Tony Romo (ribs), kicker David Buehler (groin), and safety Barry Church (shoulder) were full participants.
