Dallas Gant has been elevated from the practice squad to the game day roster, providing additional linebacker depth for the Eagles. His inclusion comes as Nakobe Dean is listed as doubtful for the game against the Cowboys due to an abdomen injury, indicating that Gant may play a crucial role in the team's defensive strategy if Dean is unable to participate.

Dallas Gant, an undrafted rookie linebacker, could be the next man up for the Eagles following Ben VanSumeren's injury. Gant began his college career at Ohio State before transferring to Toledo. After entering the NFL this spring, he was initially signed by the Vikings but was waived and later joined the Eagles' practice squad on November 4.
