Statistically the Eagles have their backs to the wall.

Great idea went to waste Sunday.

The Eagles are 0-2. A shade less than 12 percent of teams that started 0-2 have reached the postseason since 1990 according to CBS Sports research.

The Eagles last started 0-2 in 2007. They finished 8-8 and among the 88 percent who failed to reach the playoffs.

In 2003 the Eagles started 0-2 yet rallied to win the division. They lost in the second round of the playoffs.

The Eagles also started 0-2 in both 1998 and 1999 and wound up with losing records.

The Cowboys, who are 2-0. have a 63 percent chance of making the playoffs based on the same sample size.

The Cowboys, however, will be without the services of quarterback Tony Romo and Dez Bryant for roughly 6-to-8 weeks.

The Eagles activated running Kenjon Barner, not linebacker Marcus Smith, the 2014 first round draft pick who sat out the 10th of a possible18 games.,

With special teams contributor Seyi Ajirotutu (concussion) unavailable, the Eagles felt it best to roll with Barner, also a special teams producer.

Smith (hamstring) was listed as probable on the injury report but isn't proficient in special teams. In fact, he hurt the hamstring in a special teams practice.

The Eagles also deactivated quarterback Stephen Morris, offensive linemen Julian Vandervelde and Dennis Kelly and defensive end Brandon Bair, who is a solid special teams player.

The Cowboys scratched injured wide receiver Dez Bryant (broken foot) and left guard Ronald Leary (groin).

Cole Beasley started in place of Bryant, Macvkenzy Bernadeau for Leary.

Chip Kelly can only guess how the Dallas Cowboys are going to attack the Eagles this Sunday without superstar receiver Dez Bryant, out with a broken foot.

It beats the alternative.

If the choice is playing the Cowboys with Bryant as opposed to preparing for their NFC East arch-rivals without him, Kelly would take “the latter.

“He’s really good,” Kelly said of Bryant, the media tent bursting into laughter. “So, put a little bit more on the coaches and a little bit less on covering Dez, I think we’d opt for that.”

The Cowboys have options without Bryant, who likely will be sidelined four to six weeks after undergoing surgery.

Tight end Jason Witten (6-6, 251), wide receivers Terrance Williams and Cole Beasley, along with tight end Gavin Esobar (6-6, 254) are at the disposal of quarterback Tony Romo.

In Kelly’s mind, Romo is the key.

“One of the best quarterbacks in the league running the show,” Kelly said. “What a dynamic football player Dez is but it’s not like there’s a huge discrepancy. The key to that offense is the quarterback.”

Eagles veteran guard Evan Mathis is available.

DeMarco Murray's partner, Heidi Mueller.

The club is listening to offers for the 33-year-old Mathis, who is due $5.5 million in base pay this season.

Chip Kelly said no Eagles are untouchable.

If Mathis isn't traded he likely will be released. That would result in a net savings of $3.5 million off the salary cap.

Heidi at DeMarco's presser.

Meanwhile the Eagles welcomed running back DeMarco Murray and his partner, Heidi Mueller to the NovaCare Complex Thursday.

Mueller is a soap opera and reality TV star.

Murray, the Cowboys star who led the NFL in rushing last year, has agreed to terms on a five-year contract, according to reports.

That's an Eagles lapel on Murray..

You haven't seen the last of Nick Foles this season.

Sanchez showing how he'll hold off Foles to keep starting job.

A source confirmed that Foles is "doing good" in his comeback from a cracked collarbone.

Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, who enjoys blowing off injury questions, conceded that Foles was one healing X-ray or so away from being relevant again.

"Yeah, he’s supposed to have a follow-up, I don’t know if it’s this week or next," Kelly said Monday. "I know he’s working extremely hard from a rehab standpoint. The whole decision will be made based upon what the bone is. He’ll get that X-ray at some point."

Look for something positive to happen with Foles within two weeks. That's when Kelly has a decision to make about his starting quarterback - if, of course he hasn't made one already.
