Eagles Injury Report: Saquon Barkley upgraded to limited
The Philadelphia Eagles issued their second official injury report in advance of their Week 6 road game against the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football.
Note that this report is an estimation because the Eagles held a walkthrough in lieu of an actual practice.
The Eagles listed two players under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: Landon Dickerson and Grant Calcaterra.
Dickerson and Calcaterra are on track to miss Thursday’s game.
Dickerson might also miss Week 7, according to the Inquirer’s Jeff McLane. Brett Toth figures to play in his place at left guard. Thursday will mark Toth’s third career start in 30 career games played since 2020.
Calcaterra’s absence could mean that Kylen Granson is the second tight end behind Dallas Goedert. That’s how the Eagles handled TE playing time in Week 5. The Eagles also have Cameron Latu.
The Eagles listed three players under LIMITED PARTICIPATION: Saquon Barkley, Jihaad Campbell, and Byron Young.
Barkley was upgraded from DNP on Monday. He told reporters he plans on playing.
Campbell and Young were listed as limited for the second day in a row. Guessing they’ll be able to suit up, albeit at less than 100%.
The Eagles listed one player under FULL PARTICIPATION: Nakobe Dean.
Here’s all what Vic Fangio had to say when asked about Dean on Tuesday.
Q. At this time last week, you were still waiting to see how Eagles LB Nakobe Dean looked. Now that you’ve had a week seeing him, how do you think he factors in when he gets out there?
Fangio: There’s a chance he could be active this week. Not positive yet.
Q. And what type of role do you anticipate for him?
Fangio: Oh, it would just be – because he hadn’t had any [2025] game [experience], no training camp – it wouldn’t be a full-time role yet.
Q. You said no full-time job for Eagles LB Nakobe Dean quite yet, but obviously with Eagles LBs Jihaad Campbell and Zack Baun playing at a pretty high level, how can you make that work with the three of them?
Vic Fangio: We’ll figure it out.
It’d be a little surprising to see Dean play against the Giants since he didn’t even get any real practice time this week to ramp up. Seems like it would be ideal to get him going in Week 7 instead. But we’ll see. The Eagles have until 4:00 PM Eastern on Thursday to activate him the roster in order to be eligible to play.

NEW YORK GIANTS INJURY REPORT (TUESDAY)
The Giants upgraded rookie starting quarterback Jaxson Dart from limited to full. He’s ready to play.
Starting wide receiver Darius Slayton, starting right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor, and backup linebackers/special teams contributors Swayze Bozeman and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowler were listed under DNP for the second day in a row. Seems like they’re all in jeopardy of missing Thursday’s game.
Slayton’s expected absence is especially notable since the Giants are already missing Malik Nabers, who suffered a season-ending injury. New York is very thin at wide receiver. Their top three options right now are … Wan’Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, and Beaux Collins. Not exactly the most intimidating trio.
Top three safeties Jevon Holland, Tyler Nubin, and Dane Belton were all listed as limited again. Ditto for running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. and nickel cornerback Andru Phillips. Seems like they all might suit up but we’ll learn more from Wednesday’s final injury report.
