News you need to know
From the upgrade/downgrade report (Mon Oct 26): Dalton struggled against Washington and then got knocked out of the game by a dirty hit from Jon Bostic. He might not be available for Week 8 against the Eagles and when he does become available again, he'll only be a desperation play.
General News (Sat Oct 31): on Saturday, Oct. 31, was downgraded from doubtful to out for the Week 8 game Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
General News (Fri Oct 30): did not practice on Friday and is not expected to play this week. "If Andy would practice (Saturday), that would be the only chance he would have to play in the game," head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday. "As of right now, he's not scheduled to practice."
General News (Thu Oct 29): did not practice on Thursday. It makes Dalton unlikely to play Sunday in Week 8, in the estimation of NFL reporter Ian Rapoport.
General News (Wed Oct 28): did not practice on Wednesday. The Cowboys are preparing Ben DiNucci (or Garrett Gilbert) as their starter. Dalton is still working his way through the concussion protocol. He's not expected to be available until the end of the week - at the earliest. Dallas plays against the Eagles on Sunday night in Week 8.
General News (Wed Oct 28): attended the team meeting Wednesday, Oct. 28, but he hasn't progressed enough to attend positional meetings. He's not expected to be available until the end of the week - at the earliest.
General News (Mon Oct 26): is in the league's concussion protocol, but the team isn't likely to sign another quarterback this week.
Week 8: at Philadelphia Eagles
FBG says: matchup.

However, Dalton would need to reverse course and practice Saturday. 'If Andy would practice (Saturday), that would be the only chance he would have to play in the game,' head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday. 'As of right now, he's not scheduled to practice.' Our View: Expect Ben Dinucci to get the start and keep everyone except Ezekiel Elliott and maybe Amari Cooper on your bench. The Eagles should be considered the top D/ST play of the week.
