Ahead of their Monday Night Football matchup against the Cowboys, the Eagles get more bad injury news. Starting left tackle Jordan Mailata is not at practice today after suffering a knee sprain at the end of practice on Wednesday, leaving his status for Monday’s game in Dallas in doubt.
Yikes.
If Mailata is out, 2019 first-round pick Andre Dillard will have to start. Dillard hasn’t started a game since November 24, 2019, a 17-3 home loss to Seattle where Dillard played just 34 percent of the Birds’ offensive snaps. Going from Mailata to Dillard is unquestionably a downgrade.
