The Philadelphia Eagles have an injury concern in the second half of the Week 1 game against the Dallas Cowboys.

In the third quarter, safety Sydney Brown came up with an injury after an incomplete pass thrown by Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.

Brown stayed down on a knee on the field and trainers went out to the field to check on him. The Eagles are already without starter C.J. Gardner-Johnson, so they can ill-afford to lose yet another defensive back.
