PHILADELPHIA -- Observed and heard in the locker room after the Eagles’ 38-27 loss to Dallas:
Fletcher alone: Eagles cornerback Bradley Fletcher was left alone to cover Dez Bryant on several plays. Why? “We didn’t need it last time,” safety Malcolm Jenkins said, referring to the Eagles’ 33-10 victory in Dallas 17 days earlier. Defensive coordinator Bill Davis said he changed coverages, but Tony Romo seemed to spot Bryant every time he was singled up.
Celek hurting: Tight end Brent Celek wasn’t sure how the ball got knocked from his grasp, only that it happened. Celek lost a fourth-quarter fumble that ended an Eagles drive and helped the Cowboys add to their lead. “I’ve got to hold on to the ball,” Celek said. “There’s no excuse. I’ve just got to hold on to it.”
Sanchez in limbo: There is a chance Nick Foles could be cleared to return to practice this week. With the Eagles playing in Washington on Saturday, that would be a quick turnaround for a change at quarterback. Coach Chip Kelly would not address the possibility. Mark Sanchez said he had "no idea, but I need to clean up some mistakes and attack this thing like I do every week. That’s with a positive attitude.”
