Cowboys WR Dez Bryant missed Dallas' previous three games with a knee injury, but he will play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN:
Bryant has a history of success against the Eagles:

10/30/11 | 3 | 28 | 9.0 | 0 |
TOTAL | 49 | 775 | 15.8 | 8 |
In the three games he has played for Dallas this season, Bryant has 11 catches for 150 yards and 1 TD. In 2015, Bryant had a disappointing season, when he had just 31 catches for 401 yards and 3 TDs in nine games. Bryant's return comes at a time when the Eagles are thin at cornerback.
This news is sure to excite your neighbor down the street who has never been to Dallas.
