The Eagles only have one player whose status is in doubt for Thursday’s game in Dallas and it looks like the call on linebacker Emmanuel Acho will wait until the last possible moment.

Acho is listed as questionable because of a groin injury that has left him as a limited participant during the team’s short practice week. Acho said that the nature of the injury was such that he won’t know until Thursday whether he will be feeling well enough to take the field.

“I made major strides from [Monday] to [Tuesday],” Acho said, via the Eagles website. “But with it being on Thursday, I can’t make a call on Wednesday, because who knows how I’ll feel when I wake up Thursday morning. So it’ll probably have to be a Thursday decision.”

If Acho doesn’t go, Casey Matthews will see increased time next to Mychal Kendricks at inside linebacker.

Quarterback Nick Foles (collarbone) is the only player ruled out for Philadelphia. Six other players, including wide receiver Jordan Matthews (knee) and left tackle Jason Peters (quad), are probable.
