Cowboys injury woes quickly opening the door for Eagles in NFC East

The Dallas Cowboys were already without starting right tackle La’el Collins and wide receiver Michael Gallup, and now they’ll be without their best pass rusher as well.

Two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Demarcus Lawrence sustained a broken foot and is out indefinitely, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.

We’re only two weeks into the regular season, but Philadelphia currently sits atop the NFC East as Washington will be without Ryan Fitzpatrick after he suffered a serious hip injury.

Depending on how long it takes Fitzpatrick to recover, Washington’s path to a second consecutive division crown just got a little more difficult. The New York Giants suffered a loss in their season opener and could spend 2021 chasing an identity.

Philadelphia has quickly become the healthiest team in the NFL and a darkhorse candidate in the division should now be looked at as the favorite.
