The Eagles secondary just hasn’t looked the same this year when cornerback Asante Samuel is out of the lineup. It looks like the Eagles may have to play without him again on Sunday.

Samuel was at the start of practice Friday, and left shortly thereafter, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He practiced Wednesday, but then sat out Thursday with soreness in his sprained knee.

Tackle Winston Justice didn’t practice all week and was listed as questionable on the injury report, just like Samuel. Eagles coach Andy Reid admitted that he could leave one or both players behind when the team travels to Dallas Saturday.
