Week 7 Waiver Wire Targets to Replace Fantasy Players on Injury List

Javonte Williams was key to the win, joining Cowboys history with his performance:

The Eagles have been without franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts since their last-second loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London in Week 5.

Hurts was placed on injured reserve and is expected to miss the remainder of the season after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli, blood clots in his left calf that traveled to his lungs, the Eagles and Hurts' agent Nicole Lynn announced in a statement .

Tanner McKee, a Stanford product, has stepped in for the injured Hurts, throwing for 215 yards and one touchdown in a 25-14 loss to the Carolina Panthers last week before dropping Monday's game. McKee has yet to earn a win in his two starts this season.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys entered the matchup on a two-game losing streak, with fans unimpressed by the team's performance despite a talented roster featuring Prescott, George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb and Williams.

A win over their NFC East rivals, the Eagles, is a step in the right direction for the Cowboys, who moved into second place in the division standings. Dallas could look to build a winning streak with upcoming games against the Arizona Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts.

Prescott found Lamb for a nine-yard touchdown pass, while Brandon Aubrey drilled a 55-yard field goal to give Dallas a 10-7 lead after Saquon Barkley rushed for a touchdown for the Eagles.

Philadelphia's Dameon Pierce rushed for a six-yard touchdown to briefly put the Eagles ahead early in the second quarter before Prescott connected with Pickens for a 21-yard touchdown.

With an additional field goal from Aubrey, the Cowboys took a 20-14 lead into halftime.

The second half opened with both teams firing on all cylinders. McKee capped a lengthy 9:16 drive by finding Makai Lemon for a Philadelphia score, the rookie's first career touchdown.

Prescott then connected with Lamb on a 16-yard scoring pass for his second touchdown of the day, extending Dallas' offensive production and taking a 28-21 lead headed into the final quarter.

Dallas began to pull away in the fourth quarter, adding a field goal before the defense intercepted McKee and forced another turnover on downs. The Cowboys capitalized on the stops, with Javonte Williams rushing up the middle for a touchdown to extend the lead and help secure the win.

Dallas will host the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, while Philadelphia will hit the road to face the Washington Commanders for a Sunday Night showdown at 8:20 p.m. ET.
