Never mind the injury reports. Just open your eyes in the locker room and you’ll see them, especially on Jordan Mailata and Andre Dillard. The two left tackles showed up on Friday afternoon with ice bags strategically placed. Dillard had one strapped to his left forearm. Mailata had one wrapped around his right shoulder. “I don’t think any of our players are 100 percent when we go out there and play,” said Mailata in Friday’s locker room. Which one will play on Sunday night when the Dallas Cowboys pay a visit to test Lincoln Financial Field? Based on Friday’s injury report, it looks like it will be Mailata. He was a full participant in the practice held at Lincoln Financial Field, as was the rest of the Eagles' starting line, CB Avonte Maddox, kicker Jake Elliott, RB Kenny Gainwell, and edge rusher/LB Patrick Johnson. The only two players listed as questionable were special teamer Josh Jobe (shoulder) and defensive end Janarius Robinson (ankle), who hasn’t been active since being signed off the Vikings’ practice squad last month. Earlier in the day, though, head coach Nick Sirianni said that Dillard “has a good chance to play this week.” So, draw your conclusions. In the locker room following practice, both players professed that they would be ready to go. “I’ve been hungry for (playing again) for a long time,” said Dillard, who remains on Injured Reserve after suffering a crack in his forearm during a practice last month. “I’ve been working my tail off every day to get back and healthy, stay strong, in shape. I had a good couple weeks of practice now, so I’m ready for whatever they got for me.” Mailata said he feels great but added that it would be up to the team’s medical staff as to whether or not he plays.Scroll to Continue Read More Bulletin-Board Buzz Fizzles for Nick SirianniOct 14, 2022 3:03 PM EDT Andre Dillard Has a Chance to Play but Who Gets Cut to Make Room for Him Oct 14, 2022 12:23 PM EDT Special Teams Could Loom Large for Eagles Against CowboysOct 13, 2022 9:28 PM EDT“Those are decisions I can’t control,” he said. “I can’t control whether I’m going this week. I can only tell them 50 percent of the answer. They have the other 50 percent.” It’s a good sign he was a full participant in Friday’s practice. It may also help the Eagles to wait another week on a decision regarding their 53-man roster. Dillard is still on IR and has one more week to either be activated or shut down for the rest of the year.
