Yahoo Sports Staff Updated Mon, October 26, 2026 at 11:30 PM UTC About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement In this story The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles will close out the Week 7 game slate on "Monday Night Football" in an NFC East showdown at Lincoln Financial Field, with kickoff set for 8:15 p.m. ET.
Both franchises enter the week at 2-4 after disappointing starts to the year, but the division remains wide open as the New York Giants lead with a 3-2-1 record.
The Cowboys are coming off a disappointing Sunday night loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. After struggling on defense for most of the season, Dallas couldn't get their offense going , stuck at just seven points before scoring a touchdown in garbage time with just 0:44 on the clock.
The Eagles, meanwhile, had their season turned upside down last week after quarterback Jalen Hurts was placed on injured reserve as he undergoes treatment for deep vein thrombosis and blood clots in his lungs. Now, it's up to quarterback Tanner McKee to save the season. He threw for 215 yards and one touchdown in his third career start last week.
Follow along with Yahoo Sports for live updates, highlights and more as the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles close out Week 7 on "Monday Night Football," airing on ABC and ESPN.
On Sunday, the 49ers — devoid of quality receiving options — plotted all week to put Christian McCaffrey in the slot, and shift far enough outside the backfield to be used as a primary pass-catching option (at least, until he got hurt doing it).
The Eagles aren't sharp enough to put that kind of plan in place on short notice, but it's the general idea that throwing to Barkley will be another way to get their best player in space. That will provide an easy outlet for McKee, while taking heat of their makeshift offensive line — a unit that's struggled to create holes for any runners.

Moneyline odds: Cowboys -205, Eagles +172
Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley will officially return to the lineup on Monday night after missing two games with a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 4. He returned to practice this week as a limited participant on Thursday and Friday before being upgraded to "full" on Saturday.
He was officially listed as questionable on the final injury report, but per ESPN's Lisa Salters , "Saquon Barkley told me he feels good enough to give it a go tonight, but he will try to be smart about his return."
He'll run behind an offensive line that gets one of its starters back Monday night, as guard Landon Dickerson makes his return from injured reserve with a knee injury.
With less than 90 minutes remaining until the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles kick off, each team has announced its inactives for Week 7.
