A.J. Brown A.J. Brown No private meeting
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 11:27 AM
There was no "private meeting" between Brown, Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley as initially reported elsewhere, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday. Instead, Brown saw Hurts and Barkley talking in the parking lot and walked over to join them.
Analysis: This comes with the territory for a big market team that's the defending Super Bowl champs, but the drama surrounding the Eagles' key offensive players has been exhausting. However, it's prudent to remember how the Eagles' offense was also off-kilter at this point in the season last year, too. |

John Metchie John Metchie Another zero-catch game
Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 2:40 PM
Metchie saw the field for just three offensive snaps and did not catch a pass in Thursday's loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Despite trailing for the entirety of the second half, the Eagles rarely put enough wide receivers on the field for Metchie, the fourth wideout on the depth chart, to see any action. He now has a total of four catches across his first six games with the team. |

Jahan Dotson Jahan Dotson One catch again
Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 2:26 PM
Dotson caught one of his two targets for 17 yards in Thursday's loss to the Giants.
Analysis: One catch has become Dotson's typical stat line for the Eagles. He's finished with exactly one reception in four of six games this season and finished with exactly one catch in eight regular-season games last year. |

Will Shipley Will Shipley Barely features in Week 6
Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 2:18 PM
Shipley saw the field for just three offensive snaps in Thursday's loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Shipley hasn't been a significant part of the offense at any point this season for the Eagles, but Thursday represented his season-low snap count. He did not touch the ball on offense but did return one kick for 22 yards. |

A.J. Dillon A.J. Dillon Three touches in Week 6
Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 2:14 PM
Dillon carried the ball once for two yards and caught a pair of passes for 18 yards in Thursday's loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Dillon received his first two targets of the year, but overall his workload remained minimal. He's yet to receive more than three touches or see the field for more than 10 offensive snaps in a game this season. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Season-best performance in loss
Thu, Oct 9, 2025, 11:06 PM
Goedert brought in nine of 11 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 34-17 loss to the Giants on Thursday night.
Analysis: Goedert led the Eagles across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, with those figures, and his game-high 36-yard catch, also all qualifying as season-high figures. The veteran tight end has scored all five of his touchdowns this season over the last four games, and that tally ties a career best for Goedert, who also recorded the same number of trips to the end zone in 2019. With 20 targets in his last two games alone, Goedert will remain a highly viable option in all formats during a Week 7 road matchup against the Vikings on Sunday, Oct. 19. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Modest opportunity in loss
Thu, Oct 9, 2025, 10:52 PM
Barkley rushed 12 times for 58 yards and brought in two of three targets for nine yards in the Eagles' 34-17 loss to the Giants on Thursday night.
Analysis: Barkley was set up well on paper for a matchup against the Giants' porous run defense, but game script would eventually cap his opportunities and lead to his second-lowest carry total of the campaign. Barkley was efficient with his opportunities, averaging an encouraging 4.8 yards per carry after posting 5.0 yards per tote in the Week 5 loss to the Broncos. Barkley has still to crack the 90-yard mark on the ground through six games, however, and he's still averaging just 3.4 yards per carry on the season thanks to a slow start to the season. Barkley will have a tough Week 7 challenge on his hands as well, considering the talented Vikings defense awaits in a Week 7 road matchup on Sunday, Oct. 19. |

Jalen Hurts Jalen Hurts Solid numbers in shocking loss
Thu, Oct 9, 2025, 10:48 PM
Hurts completed 24 of 33 passes for 283 yards with a touchdown and an interception while adding seven rushes for 13 yards and another score in the Eagles' 34-17 loss to the Giants on Thursday night.
Analysis: Hurts and the Eagles offense had a productive first quarter where they netted 10 points as a unit, and the reigning Super Bowl MVP connected with Dallas Goedert from three yards out late in the period for six of those. Hurts would add a one-yard touchdown run at just under the seven-minute mark of the second quarter, and that would surprisingly be the end of the scoring on the night for Philadelphia. Hurts exceeded 30 pass attempts for a second consecutive contest for the first time this season, and he averaged a season-best 8.6 yards per attempt Thursday while connecting with six different targets. The sixth-year pro's one interception was also very costly, however, as it came at the Giants' nine-yard line early in the fourth quarter with the Eagles down 10 and was returned all the way to Philadelphia's 23-yard line to set up the Giants' game-clinching touchdown. Hurts has hit or exceeded 280 passing yards in each of the last two games heading into a Week 7 road showdown against the Vikings on Sunday, Oct. 19. |

Sam Howell Sam Howell Operating as emergency QB
Thu, Oct 9, 2025, 6:05 PM
Howell (coach's decision) is inactive but available as Philadelphia's emergency third quarterback Thursday night versus New York.
Analysis: Howell will once again operate as the No. 3 quarterback in Week 6, and he'll only be eligible to enter the game if both Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee go down with injuries. Howell has yet to appear in a regular-season game since being traded to Philadelphia in August. |

Grant Calcaterra Grant Calcaterra Out for Thursday night
Wed, Oct 8, 2025, 1:31 PM
Calcaterra (oblique) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Giants.
Analysis: The 2022 sixth-round pick from SMU sustained an oblique injury in the Eagles' Week 5 loss to the Broncos, limiting him to just seven offensive snaps. He didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his first contest of the 2025 season. While Calcaterra is sidelined Thursday night, Kylen Granson is expected to operate as Philly's No. 2 tight end. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Ready for Thursday Night Football
Wed, Oct 8, 2025, 1:24 PM
Barkley (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and has been cleared to suit up Thursday against the Giants.
Analysis: Barkley is ready to suit up for Thursday's divisional match after having been estimated as a non-participant Monday and as limited during Tuesday's walk-through. The star running back has reportedly dealt with general soreness in his knee, and he played a season-low 72 percent of offensive snaps Week 5 while carrying the ball just six times for 30 rushing yards. Given that context, it's possible his workload could be managed Thursday night coming off a short week of practice. |

Kylen Granson Kylen Granson Blanked on Week 5 stat sheet
Wed, Oct 8, 2025, 9:24 AM
Granson went without a target while playing 22 of the Eagles' 61 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Despite seeing his most extensive playing time of the season, Granson went without a look in the passing game for the third game in a row. Granson still looks like a strong candidate to match or exceed last week's 36 percent snap share in this Thursday's game against the Giants. The Eagles are expected to be without Grant Calcaterra (oblique) for Week 6, leaving Granson as the clear top backup to top tight end Dallas Goedert. |

Grant Calcaterra Grant Calcaterra Estimated DNP for Tuesday
Tue, Oct 7, 2025, 5:48 PM
The Eagles listed Calcaterra (oblique) as a DNP on Tuesday's estimated injury report.
Analysis: Calcaterra is recovering from an oblique injury that he suffered during Sunday's loss against the Broncos. However, with the Eagles operating on a short week, the fourth-year tight end is in jeopardy of being sidelined for Thursday's NFC East clash against the Giants. Kylen Granson would be in line to see a spike in snaps on offense as the TE2 behind Dallas Goedert if Calcaterra is not cleared to play. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Gets in limited practice Tuesday
Tue, Oct 7, 2025, 5:38 PM
Barkley (knee) was limited in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Analysis: It's an upgrade for Barkley after he was estimated as a DNP on Monday's practice report. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Barkley was dealing with general soreness coming out of Sunday's loss to the Broncos and is fully expected to play against the Giants on Thursday night. |

Jahan Dotson Jahan Dotson Catches one pass
Tue, Oct 7, 2025, 3:56 PM
Dotson caught one pass for 24 yards in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Dotson was on the field for 71 percent of the Eagles' offensive snaps, his second-highest snap share of the year, but it didn't result in a significant role. He's now been held to one or fewer catches in 19 of his 23 regular-season games with the Eagles over the last two years. |

Tank Bigsby Tank Bigsby Still stuck on special teams
Tue, Oct 7, 2025, 3:47 PM
Bigsby was limited to special teams duties Sunday against the Broncos, returning a pair of kicks for 44 yards.
Analysis: Bigsby hasn't played a single offensive snap since being acquired by the Eagles after Week 1. He's the fourth running back on the Eagles' depth chart, so even an injury to Saquon Barkley likely wouldn't be enough for him to move into a meaningful role. |
|
A.J. Dillon A.J. Dillon Two carries in loss
Tue, Oct 7, 2025, 3:41 PM
Dillon carried the ball twice for 12 yards in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Dillon has seen between five and 10 offensive snaps in all five games this season, never touching the ball more than three times. He's been efficient in that very small sample, averaging 5.3 yards on 11 total carries, but he would need an injury to Saquon Barkley to find his way to fantasy relevance. |
|
Will Shipley Will Shipley Two touches in Week 5
Tue, Oct 7, 2025, 3:37 PM
Shipley rushed once for zero yards and caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Shipley saw the field for eight offensive snaps compared to nine for fellow backup running back AJ Dillon, with both backs touching the ball twice. That represents Shipley's highest offensive snap count of the year, leaving him far away from fantasy relevance. |

Grant Calcaterra Grant Calcaterra Considered unavailable Monday
Mon, Oct 6, 2025, 6:56 PM
Calcaterra (oblique) was considered to be a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.
Analysis: Calcaterra suffered an oblique injury in the first quarter of the team's 21-17 loss to the Broncos in Week 5, ultimately remaining sidelined for the rest of the day. The tight end will have two more chances to participate in some capacity at practice before Thursday's matchup with the Giants. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Expected to play Thursday
Mon, Oct 6, 2025, 4:50 PM
Though Barkley (knee) had general soreness coming out of Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the running back fully expects to play Thursday night against the Giants.
Analysis: Barkley was notably listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, but Rapoport's report suggests that the star back isn't in danger of being sidelined Thursday. That said, Barkley's status still is worth monitoring ahead of Week 6 action, with added context on that front slated to arrive via Tuesday's practice report. |
