Andy Dalton still remains in the concussion protocol.
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy told reporters he was able to attend the quarterbacks meeting but will not practice today.
Dalton suffered the concussion after taking a shoulder to the helmet in the Cowboys' Week 7 loss.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Dalton is unlikely to play Sunday night against the Eagles. If he isn't cleared, rookie Ben DiNucci will start. He's been taking first-team practice reps this week.
