Cowboys vs. Eagles inactives: DeMarcus Ware, Michael Vick out on Sunday

The Cowboys and Eagles will both be without two key players in Sunday’s key NFC East matchup.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is inactive on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, with Nick Foles once again getting the start under center, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.

Vick served as the emergency quarterback last Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, suffering a hamstring injury the game before against the Giants. Foles threw for three touchdowns and ran in another in the 31-20 win over the Bucs in Tampa Bay, with Vick missing his twelfth game since 2010.

One player that Foles won't have to face on Sunday is Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Ware, who is inactive for the first time in his nine-year career. Ware suffered a quad injury early in last week's win over the Washington Redskins and did not return, and has been dealing with a neck injury for most of the season.

Ware was limited last season due to shoulder and neck injuries and required multiple surgeries in the offseason. Kyle Wilber, who had a strip-sack and fumble recovery last week, will start in place of Ware against the Eagles.
