Philadelphia Eagles have been dealt an injury scare ahead of their Thursday night showdown against the New York Giants, as star running back Saquon Barkley and left guard Landon Dickerson were both added to the team’s injury report on Monday.
Dickerson’s injury history has been a recurring concern this season. After undergoing meniscus surgery in August, he returned in time for the season opener but has since battled multiple setbacks, including back and lower-body issues. The latest ankle concern only adds to the uncertainty surrounding the Eagles’ offensive line depth heading into Week 6.
Calcaterra’s status is also worth monitoring, as his absence could impact the Eagles’ tight end rotation and special teams coverage.
Other injury updates for the Eagles
Rookie linebacker Jihaad Campbell (biceps) and defensive tackle Byron Young (triceps) were both listed as limited participants, suggesting that their availability for Thursday will depend on how they respond during the week.
Meanwhile, linebacker Nakobe Dean, who recently returned to practice after a stint on injured reserve, was marked as a full participant — a positive sign for the Eagles’ defensive depth.
As Philadelphia sits at 4-1, the health of key contributors like Saquon Barkley and Dickerson could play a decisive role in maintaining their early-season momentum. Facing the Giants on a short week, head coach Nick Sirianni will likely prioritize recovery and depth management to ensure his team remains competitive against a divisional rival eager to spoil their strong start.
