The Philadelphia Eagles issued their third and final official injury report in advance of their Week 6 road game against the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football.
The Eagles ruled two players OUT: Landon Dickerson and Grant Calcaterra.
Dickerson will miss this game due the ankle injury he suffered in Week 5. Reports indicate he might also miss Week 7. Brett Toth figures to start at left guard in Dickerson’s place.
Calcaterra will miss this game due to the oblique injury he suffered in Week 5. Kylen Granson could replace him as the second tight end behind Dallas Goedert. Cameron Latu could be TE3.
The Eagles ruled two players QUESTIONABLE: Jalen Carter and Nakobe Dean.
Carter is an unexpected addition to the injury report. He was added on Wednesday with a heel injury. Carter has previously been plagued by a shoulder injury. Carter hasn’t been consistent this season but it’s bad news if he can’t play.
Dean will reportedly suit up against the Giants. The Eagles have until 4:00 PM Eastern on Thursday to officially activate him to the roster in order for Dean to be eligible to play. His exact role upon returning remains to be seen. He hasn’t played football since January and he’s behind Zack Baun and Jihaad Campbell on the depth chart.
Campbell, Saquon Barkley, and Byron Young are all listed without game statuses.
This means they’re ready to play despite appearing on the injury report this week.

FB Ben VanSumeren

WR Johnny Wilson
TCF reverted to IR after being waived/injured; the Eagles could eventually cut him with an injury settlement … like they did with Lewis Cine. Hinton, Lampkin, and Williams are currently eligible to return from IR. Smith, Bennett, and Cooper are eligible to return from IR after Week 7 but we’ll see if the Eagles wait until after the Week 9 bye to activate them. Hughlett is eligible to return from IR after Week 8 but he might need longer to heal up. BVS, Wilson, and Okoronkwo suffered season-ending injuries.
NEW YORK GIANTS INJURY REPORT (WEDNESDAY)
The Giants ruled three players OUT: starting wide receiver Darius Slayton and backup linebackers/special teams contributors Swayze Bozeman and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles.
With Malik Nabers already out for the season, Slayton’s absence leaves the Giants especially thin at wide receiver. Their wide receivers for this game will likely be Wan’Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, Beaux Collins, Gunner Olszewski, and Lil’Jordan Humphrey (if/when he’s elevated from the practice squad). That’s the worst receiving corps the Eagles will face this season.
The Giants ruled one player QUESTIONABLE: starting right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor.
Eluemunor was upgraded to being listed as limited on Wednesday after straight two DNPs. Seems like he might be a game-time decision. Even if Eluemunor starts, we’ll see if he can make it through the game.
