The Eagles’ injury report has been all over the place this week.
Stars have been listed, guys who have not played all year, and some random appearances.
The biggest of the week was Saquon Barkley on Monday, who was listed with knee soreness. He, along with Jihaad Campbell, who had a bicep injury, was a full participant on Wednesday and is good to go against the Giants on Thursday night.
Jalen Carter was added to the Eagles’ injury report on Wednesday and was listed as a limited participant with a heel injury. He is questionable.
Carter was already playing through a shoulder injury this season. If Carter plays on Thursday night, his performance will be strongly hindered, and his effectiveness will have to be monitored.
Carter does not have the most gaudy stat line this season, but has been a dominant force at the line for the Eagles.
We could see Nakobe Dean‘s return at MetLife Stadium.
The Eagles last week activated Dean’s 21-day practice window, and he has been listed as a full participant all week. If Dean is going to make his season debut, he will need to be activated to the Eagles’ 53-man roster before 4:00 p.m. ET on Thursday. The team has one spot open.
Landon Dickerson, who injured his ankle last week and departed after just 12 snaps, is out. He was replaced by Brett Toth, who played the final 49 snaps, and is expected to start on Thursday. Dickerson has battled through some sort of injury seemingly his entire career and has missed very few games. Unfortunately, he will miss Thursday night.
Grant Calcaterra is out as well. He got hurt in the first half against the Broncos and played just seven offensive snaps. Kylen Granson will be bumped up to TE2 behind Dallas Goedert.
Here are the Eagles’ and Giants’ full, final injury reports:
Eagles:
Out: Landon Dickerson (ankle), Grant Calcaterra (oblique)
Questionable: Jalen Carter (heel), Nakobe Dean (knee)
Giants:
Out: WR Darius Slayton (hamstring), LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (hamstring), LB Swayze Bozeman (ankle)
Questionable: RT Jermaine Eluemunor (back)
