PHILADELPHIA — Good evening from the Lincoln Financial Field press box. Follow along for live updates from the Eagles’ 2025 season opener against the Cowboys.

Second quarter

2:34: Brandon Aubrey’s 41-yard field goal is good, giving Dallas a 17-14 lead. A taunting penalty by Nolan Smith after tackling former Eagles running back Miles Sanders was a killer.

6:46: Jalen Hurts, again. The Cowboys cannot stop him from scrambling. Hurts makes it look easy. 14-14.

14:56: Touchdown, Cowboys. Javonte Williams scores his second of the night. If the Eagles’ run defense without Jalen Carter continues to play like this — and if Dak Prescott continues to target Adoree’ Jackson — this is going to be a high-scoring affair. 14-7 Dallas.

First quarter

5:55: The Eagles delivered an emphatic response to the Cowboys’ opening touchdown drive. Philly went 70 yards on seven plays, capped by a three-yard Jalen Hurts scramble into the end zone. 7-7.

11:49: Dallas strikes first with a goal-line score from Javonte Williams. It was all set up by a 32-yard catch from CeeDee Lamb. One of the best receivers in the NFL cooked Adoree’ Jackson. 7-0 Cowboys.

14:54: Well, that’s one way to start the season. Jalen Carter, the Eagles’ star defensive tackle, was ejected after apparently spitting on Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott. Carter, an All-Pro selection last year, was escorted off the field by Eagles head of security Dom DiSandro. And that was after fullback Ben VanSumeren injured his knee on the opening kickoff; VanSumeren was ruled out shortly after.

Super Bowl banner revealed

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and franchise legend Brandon Graham led a “Fly Eagles Fly” chant. Then, the Super Bowl LIX banner was unveiled on the east side of the stadium.

It read: “2024 World Champions.”

It was a cool moment. But Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts and Co. weren’t too interested in the banner ceremony. They were in the locker room for the ceremony, mentally preparing for their first test of the 2025 season.

Being around the players and coaches all summer, the message was clear: the Eagles aren’t “defending” anything. Barkley’s 2,000-yard season, blowing out the Kansas City Chiefs, all of that is in the rearview mirror. The Birds are charting a new course.

Pregame updates

— Second-round rookie Andrew Mukuba is warming up with the first-team defense, which is a slight surprise. Sydney Brown was expected to start with Mukuba recently missing time due to minor injuries. We’ll see how the ballhawk from Texas does.

— As expected, Adoree’ Jackson warmed up as the CB2. Neither Jackson nor Kelee Ringo had an impressive training camp, leading to Howie Roseman trading for Raiders corner Jakorian Bennett. But Jackson latched onto the starting job (at least for now) opposite Quinyon Mitchell in nickel.

— The Eagles will be a little thin at edge rusher with Azeez Ojulari and Ogbo Okoronkwo ruled out. Vic Fangio will likely implement a three-man rotation: Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt starting with Josh Uche getting into the mix.
