The Philadelphia Eagles released their third and final official injury report in advance of their Week 9 game against the Dallas Cowboys. Peters did not practice at all.

Offensive tackle Jason Peters (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game, and hasn’t practiced since Tuesday.
Eagles leading rusher Ryan Mathews is also listed as questionable, but should be expected to play Sunday with an injured groin.
A potentially weakened offensive line against the Cowboys is bad news for the Eagles, and especially quarterback Sam Bradford, who will never be viewed as a mobile quarterback, and struggles – like nearly quarterbacks – when he is playing behind a struggling offensive line.
“That offer must have got lost in the mail”, Bradford said after Wednesday’s practice. The seven time Pro Bowler left in the second quarter of Philadelphia’s game against the Carolina Panthers. We’ll just kinda play it by ear, see how he feels. Earlier this week, Mathews told reporters he expects to play.
At Carolina, Johnson stayed at right tackle after Peters went down, with right guard Matt Tobin moving to left tackle and Dennis Kelly subbing for Tobin.
Johnson, who practiced all week on the left side, would likely see a lot of matchups against Greg Hardy, who has three sacks in three games for the Cowboys since returning from a four-game suspension. We’ve said that after several of the games. “I’m going to go out there, give it my best and I think I’ll do well”. “Any time I look at the film and I look at the opportunity here or there where I may have missed the ball or didn’t create the separation I would have liked to, I just think, ‘You’ve got to take advantage of it.’ Because those might not come”. And when we do that, we’re a pretty good offense.
“We continue cleaning stuff up and working on that”, Barbre said.
Johnson said he thinks Kelly, who played right tackle in the preseason, will adjust well.

Kelly, a fifth-round draft pick out of Purdue in 2012, has dressed for five of the Eagles’ seven games this season and is a backup at both guard and tackle. “We’re getting there. Obviously, it’s not going to be a ideal fit right away, but we’ve had a really good week of training so far”.
