IRVING, Texas — The Philadelphia Eagles released their injury report Friday morning and starting cornerback Asante Samuel was ruled out with a hamstring injury.
Samuel, who has three interceptions on the season and a NFL best 39 since 2006, will be replaced by Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
In his career,Samuel has just one interception vs. the Cowboys, but not having an elite corner on the field is a big blow for the Eagles defense.
Here’s what Andy Reid said to reporters on Thursday regarding Rodgers-Cromartie’s play from a slot corner to an outside cornerback: “Listen, that's where he's played over the years.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ depth at cornerback is going to come in handy on Sunday when they will be without Pro Bowler Asante Samuel, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie will start in his place, and combined with Nnamdi Asomugha, the Eagles should still have enough skill at the position to handle the Cowboys’ wideout tandem of Dez Bryant and Miles Austin.
Doing so will be vital to the success of the Eagles’ defense as they try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. Philadelphia will need to win both of their remaining games and get help in order to win the NFC East, specifically have the Jets beat the Giants this week and then have the Giants beat Dallas in the final game of the season.
