PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Mills and Ronald Darby were back at practice Wednesday, boosting Philadelphia's depleted secondary.

The team's starting cornerbacks haven't played together in a game since last Oct. 28. They could be on the field Sunday night when the Eagles (3-3) visit Dallas (3-3).

"It's like the first day of school," Mills said. "At this point, the mindset is to play the whole game. I've done it before, coming off an injury in college."

The Eagles are 13-5 when Mills and Darby both play, including a victory over New England in Super Bowl 52 in which Tom Brady threw for 505 yards.

Mills suffered a foot injury last October that sidelined him nearly one full year. Darby has missed the past three games with a hamstring injury after tearing his ACL last November.
