Grant Calcaterra Injury News & Updates

Calcaterra went without a target while playing 34 of the Eagles' 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Lions.

Though he was on the field for nearly half of the Eagles' snaps, Calcaterra ran just three routes on the night. So long as top tight end Dallas Goedert stays healthy, Calcaterra looks like he'll be limited mostly to a blocking role on offense.

Calcaterra went without a target while playing 36 of the Eagles' 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.

Though he played just one fewer snap than top tight end Dallas Goedert, Calcaterra -- who had missed the previous two games while recovering from a concussion -- was substantially less involved in the passing game. Goedert ran 21 routes to Calcaterra's eight and capitalized on those opportunities, finishing with a 3-28-2 receiving line on three targets. Calcaterra will continue to remain an infrequent target of quarterback Jalen Hurts so long as Goedert is available.

Calcaterra (oblique) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.

After missing the previous two games, Calcaterra will return to the field as Dallas Goedert's backup. Calcaterra has just four catches for 40 scoreless yards on the season and carries no fantasy value while Goedert is healthy.

Calcaterra (oblique) remained limited in Thursday's practice.

Calcaterra has missed two consecutive games with the injury, but back-to-back limited practices at least gives him a chance to return for Week 8 against the Giants. Calcaterra has four catches for 40 scoreless yards as Dallas Goedert's distant backup this season.

Calcaterra (oblique) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Calcaterra has sat out Philadelphia's last two games due to an oblique issue he picked up in Week 5 versus the Broncos, but it now appears he could be on track to suit up again soon. He'll get two more chances to upgrade to a full practice before the Eagles release their final practice report of the week Friday.

Calcaterra (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Calcaterra will sit out a second consecutive game. Kylen Granson should see added run as Dallas Goedert's backup against the Vikings.

Calcaterra (oblique) didn't practice Wednesday.

Calcaterra suffered an oblique injury in the first quarter of a Week 5 loss to Denver and hasn't practiced since. Philadelphia last played on Thursday Night Football against the Giants, but even with the extra time between games, he's very much at risk of sitting out this Sunday's matchup in Minnesota. If that proves to be the case, Kylen Granson would likely work as the Eagles' No. 2 tight end behind Dallas Goedert.

Calcaterra (oblique) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Giants.

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.

The Eagles listed Calcaterra (oblique) as a DNP on Tuesday's estimated injury report.

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.

Calcaterra (oblique) was considered to be a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

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.

Calcaterra (oblique) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Calcaterra suffered an oblique injury in the first quarter. The injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's game, and it puts him in jeopardy of missing the Eagles' Week 6 clash against the Giants on Thursday. Cameron Latu and Kylen Granson will serve as the Eagles' backup tight ends behind Dallas Goedert in Calcaterra's absence.

Calcaterra is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Denver due to an oblique injury.

Calcaterra went to the locker room in the first quarter after sustaining an oblique injury, and he'll undergo further tests to determine whether he can return. Kylen Granson and Cameron Latu will see more snaps at tight end behind starter Dallas Goedert for as long as Calcaterra is out of the game.

Calcaterra (illness) was a full participant in Friday's practice and carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Calcaterra popped up on Thursday's injury report due to an illness, but the fourth-year tight end has been cleared to play in Week 5. With Dallas Goedert (knee) also given the green light to play Sunday, Calcaterra will slot in as the Eagles' TE2 while Kylen Granson and Cameron Latu provide additional depth at the position.

Calcaterra (illness) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

The illness appears to be new, as Calcaterra was not listed on Wednesday's injury report. How he recovers over the coming days will determine whether he will play in Sunday's home game against the Broncos. Kylen Granson and Cameron Latu would be in line to serve as the Eagles' top two tight ends if Calcaterra and Dallas Goedert (knee) were unable to play.

Calcaterra was not targeted a single time in Sunday's 33-26 win over the Rams.

Calcaterra caught just one pass as the Eagles' top tight end in Week 2, but his role got even smaller with Dallas Goedert back in action in Week 3. Calcaterra barely even saw the field, playing just 12 offensive snaps as the Eagles spent most of the game in one tight end sets while trailing for most of the game.

Calcaterra was elevated to the Eagles' No. 1 tight end Sunday against the Chiefs due to Dallas Goedert's knee injury but finished with just one catch for six yards.

Calcaterra outsnapped fellow tight end Kyle Granson 53-34, leaving little doubt that he remains Goedert's top deputy. Goedert has missed an average of five games per season since 2022, so that role should continue to lead to a handful of starts for Calcaterra, but those starts won't necessarily lead to many targets. He was targeted just twice in Week 2.

Calcaterra wasn't targeted in Thursday's 24-20 win over the Cowboys.

Jalen Hurts peppered starting tight end Dallas Goedert with a team-high seven targets, but there was no action left over in the passing game for Calcaterra and Kylen Granson. On the bright side, Calcaterra was on the field for 59 percent of Philadelphia's offensive snaps, behind Goedert's 83 percent but well ahead of Granson's 27 percent. It would likely take an injury to Goedert for Calcaterra to gain any fantasy relevance in 2025.

Calcaterra caught two of his four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants.

The Eagles rested most of their starters in Week 18 with the second seed in the NFC locked up, though they gave starting tight end Dallas Goedert the chance to knock off some rust after a four-game absence due to a knee injury, so Calcaterra didn't have the same workload boost as most of the team's backups. Thanks to more missed time from Goedert throughout the year, Calcaterra finished his third professional season with career highs in catches (24), yards (298) and touchdowns (one).

Calcaterra secured one of two targets for 34 yards in the Eagles' 41-7 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

Calcaterra bounced back to an extent from a blanking against the Commanders in Week 16, recording one of his signature chunk gains on his one reception. Calcaterra continues to operate as the No. 1 tight end with Dallas Goedert (IR-knee) sidelined, but the former hasn't seen more than three targets in a game since Week 9. Calcaterra and the Eagles close out the season against the Giants at home in Week 18.

Calcaterra recorded one catch on one target for 22 yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers.

Calcattera continues to see an uptick in snaps with Dallas Goedert (knee) sidelined. However, he has only four targets across two games as the team's primary tight end while working behind DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown for targets. So long as that duo remains healthy, Calcattera is unlikely to see much uptick in volume, leaving him as an unreliable fantasy contributor.

Calcaterra caught all three of his targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers.

Getting the start at tight end in place of Dallas Goedert (knee), Calcaterra didn't see much volume but came up big when it counted, catching a four-yard TD from Jalen Hurts early in the fourth quarter for what proved to be the game-winning score. It was Calcaterra's first career touchdown, and in the five contests Goedert has either missed or left early this season, his understudy has produced a 16-176-1 line on 16 targets. Calcaterra should see increased volume again in Week 15 against the Steelers.

Calcaterra finished Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens without a catch but could step into a starting role next week after Dallas Goedert left with a knee injury in the fourth quarter.

Calcaterra typically doesn't get many looks while Goedert is on the field, so it was no surprise to see him finish without a catch in a game where Goedert was largely available. Goedert's injury doesn't appear to be season-ending but could cost him at least a week, opening up an opportunity for Calcaterra. When Goedert missed four games with a hamstring injury earlier in the year, Calcaterra averaged 3.3 catches for 40.0 yards.

Calcaterra finished with zero catches on one target in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys.

Calcaterra averaged 3.3 catches for 40.0 yards on 4.0 targets over the previous four weeks with Dallas Goedert out with a hamstring injury, but his role in the offense all but evaporated with Goedert back in action in Week 10. That's likely to remain the case going forward, as Calcaterra averaged just one catch for 14 yards prior to Goedert's injury.

Calcaterra brought in all five of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 28-23 win over Jacksonville.

Dallas Goedert (hamstring) remained sidelined Sunday, opening the door for Calcaterra to make his third consecutive start for Philadelphia. The 25-year-old registered new season highs in receptions and targets, despite his meager 30 yards of output as a receiver. If Calcaterra draws another start against the Cowboys next Sunday, he would make for a decent PPR or deeper-league option in Week 10.

Calcaterra brought in all three targets for 58 yards in the Eagles' 37-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

With Dallas Goedert (hamstring) sidelined for the second straight game, Calcaterra drew another start and parlay it into a productive afternoon. Calcaterra's numbers were somewhat surprising considering he'd drawn just one target from Jalen Hurts against the Giants in Week 7, but it was completely unforeseen since he'd contributed a 4-67 line in Week 6 against the Browns. Calcaterra could be in a favorable position for a successful encore in a Week 9 home matchup against the vulnerable Jaguars defense if Goedert remains sidelined.

Calcaterra is expected to serve as the Eagles' top pass-catching tight end in Sunday's game against the Bengals with Dallas Goedert (hamstring) ruled out for the contest.

With Goedert sitting out the Week 7 win over the Giants and missing most of the Week 6 win over the Browns with the hamstring injury, Calcaterra has taken on an expanded role. He's played at least 70 percent of the offensive snaps in both contests, combining for five receptions for 72 yards on five targets. With all of the Eagles' other key pass-catching options available, Calcaterra profiles as a tertiary target for quarterback Jalen Hurts and likely won't represent a bankable fantasy option in Week 8.

Calcaterra served as the Eagles' No. 1 tight end in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants but caught just one pass for five yards.

Calcaterra saw plenty of playing time in the absence of Dallas Goedert (hamstring), but the Eagles didn't make him a significant part of the gameplan. That wasn't necessarily his fault, as the team's rushing attack was so successful that they only attempted 15 passes in total, leaving very few targets to go around. Calcaterra could be the top tight end again next week if Goedert remains out, but he's never had more than four catches in a game (and has only once had more than two) despite filling in for Goedert on multiple occasions in recent years.

Calcaterra lined up with the Eagles' first-team offense during pregame warmups and looks set to start at tight end Sunday against the Giants, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

He'll be filling in for Dallas Goedert, who has been ruled out for Week 7 after injuring his hamstring in last Sunday's win over the Browns. After Goedert was limited to just three snaps Week 6, Calcaterra stepped in to play 57 snaps and finished with four catches for 67 yards on four targets. Calcaterra is a quality pass catcher but isn't especially adept as a blocker, so No. 2 tight end Jack Stoll could be in store for plenty of playing time behind him on running downs or when extra pass protection is needed.

Calcaterra caught all four of his targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.

Dallas Goedert (hamstring) was injured on the Eagles' first drive of the game and didn't return, leaving Calcaterra as the team's top tight end. The 2022 sixth-round pick took advantage of the opportunity to put together the most productive game of his career, highlighted by a 34-yard reception in the second quarter that helped set up an A.J. Brown touchdown. If Goedert is forced to miss a Week 7 contest against the Giants, Calcaterra figured to get the start, although Albert Okwuegbunam (core muscle) could be ready to come off IR by then and compete for snaps as well.

Calcaterra secured both of his targets for 19 yards in Monday's 22-21 loss to the Falcons.

Calcaterra operated as Philadelphia's No. 2 tight end behind Dallas Goedert, playing 28 of the Eagles' 71 offensive snaps while Goedert played 69 snaps. Barring an injury to Goedert, the 25-year-old Calcaterra has an uphill battle for targets among a crowded and talented group of pass catchers. The 6-foot-4, 240-pounder should remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Saints.

Calcaterra (shoulder) participated at practice Saturday, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Apparently, the shoulder issue Calcaterra is dealing with is only a minor one. Barring any more setbacks, he projects for a peripheral role in Philadelphia's offense behind Dallas Goedert in 2024.

Calcaterra (shoulder) sat out of practice Sunday, Zach Berman of PHLY reports.

The injury listing appears to be new for the Eagles No. 2 tight end, and he was still out there with the team during the session, per Chris Franklin of NJ.com. Calcaterra has impressed this training camp and appears in line for the second tight end slot behind starter Dallas Goedert. The third-year pro caught nine balls over his first two seasons.

Calcaterra is considered to be the leading candidate for the No. 2 spot at tight end with the Eagles in 2024, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Calcaterra has impressed in the early going at Philadelphia's training camp, distancing himself from the pack as the top reserve option behind Dallas Goedert at tight end. The 25-year-old reeled in all four of his targets for 39 yards over 15 contests with the Eagles in 2023 and he'll look to carve out a more substantial role on the offense in his third year in the league.

Calcaterra (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Calcaterra was able to log a limited session Friday after missing the previous two practices. Calcaterra and Jack Stoll will serve as the primary tight ends for Sunday's game with Dallas Goedert (forearm) ruled out.

Calcaterra (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Calcaterra seems to be trending in the right direction to play Sunday, as he was able to log a limited practice session Friday after recording DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday. The second-year tight end could be in for a larger offensive role if he's able to suit up this weekend, with Dallas Goedert (forearm) likely missing Week 13.

Calcaterra (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Buffalo.

Calcaterra hurt his ankle during the third quarter of last Monday's win over Kansas City and didn't return. He wasn't able to practice in any capacity during Week 12 prep, so it's not surprising that he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest. Dallas Goedert (forearm) has also been deemed out for the matchup with the Bills, so Jack Stoll should lead the Eagles' tight-end corps, with Albert Okwuegbunam likely seeing some action as well.

Calcaterra (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough.

Calcaterra didn't play in the team's Week 9 win over the Cowboys with a concussion and is now in danger of missing his second game of the season. With Dallas Goedert still dealing with a forearm injury, Jack Stoll and Albert Okwuegbunam could be the only healthy tight ends on the team's roster for Sunday's matchup with the Bills.

Calcaterra (concussion) is active for Monday's contest in Kansas City, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Calacaterra sat out Week 9 due to a concussion, but with the benefit of a Week 10 bye, he practiced fully during Week 11 prep and didn't have a designation on Saturday's injury report. With Dallas Goedert out for the time being due to a broken forearm, Calcaterra will be in the mix to cover for him along with fellow tight ends Jack Stoll and Albert Okwuegbunam. However, Stoll (two targets) is the only member of the trio to have been targeted this season, and Calcaterra, a 2022 sixth-round pick, boasts career output of 5-81-0 on nine targets in 23 games.

Calcaterra (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Monday night's game against the Chiefs, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Calcaterra had no limitations in practice this week, and it now seems as if he's had enough time to move past his concussion. The second-year tight end has the opportunity to see an increased workload with Dallas Goedert (forearm) out for Monday night's contest.

Calcaterra (concussion) logged a full practice with the Eagles on Thursday.

Calcaterra missed the team's Week 9 win over the Cowboys with a concussion, but his ability to practice in full coming out of Philadelphia's bye week seems to suggest that he'll be ready to go for Monday's matchup with Kansas City. The tight end hasn't officially been cleared from concussion protocol quite yet, though he seems likely to be in the coming days.

Calcaterra (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas.

Calcaterra sustained a concussion during the Week 8 win against Washington, and, while he was able to log a limited practice Friday, he won't be ready to suit up for this Sunday's game against the division-rival Cowboys. The 2022 sixth-round pick's next chance to play will come versus the Chiefs on Monday, Nov. 20, though he'll still need to clear the league's concussion protocol before then. In Calcaterra's absence, expect Albert Okwuegbunam to serve as the Eagles' third-string tight end behind Dallas Goedert and Jack Stoll.

Calcaterra (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Calcaterra left Sunday's game and was being evaluated for a concussion. He's been mostly used on special teams this season and has not accrued a target over the first seven games.

Calcaterra went without a target while playing five of the Eagles' 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-14 loss to the Jets.

Calcaterra has yet to see any involvement in the passing game this season while logging 37 snaps on offense across the Eagles' first six contests. He'll be limited to a bit role while the top two options on the depth chart at tight end, Dallas Goedert and Jack Stoll, are both available.

Calcaterra finished his rookie season with five catches for 81 yards and zero touchdowns.

Four of Calcaterra's five catches came when he was elevated for the second tight end role while Dallas Goedert missed time with a shoulder injury. The fact that he still averaged less than a catch per game during those contests means it's difficult to see him having much fantasy relevance next season.

Calcaterra is expected to slide down to third on the depth chart at tight end in Saturday's game at Dallas after Philadelphia reinstated Dallas Goedert (shoulder) from injured reserve Tuesday, ESPN.com reports.

After missing the Eagles' last five games, Goedert is expected to step back in as the team's starting tight end, while Jack Stoll handles the No. 2 role. During Goedert's five-game absence, Calcaterra recorded four receptions for 41 yards on eight targets while playing at least 28 percent of the Eagles' offensive snaps in each contest. In his other seven appearances this season when Goedert was available, Calcaterra played less than a quarter of the snaps each time while totaling just one reception.

Calcaterra pulled in two of his four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 48-22 victory over the Giants.

It was a busy day by Calcaterra's standards, as he'd only been targeted three times all year heading into the week. He was involved right from the start, catching a 13-yard pass on the Eagles' first play of the game. He got his team into the red zone with an 11-yard catch later on the same drive, but he failed to add to his tally the rest of the way.

Calcaterra lost two yards on his only catch in Sunday's win over Green Bay.

Dallas Goedert (shoulder) missed his second consecutive game, but the Eagles have adjusted to his absence by hardly looking to their tight ends at all. In Week 11, it was Jack Stoll who provided the unit's lone target and lone reception, and it was Calcaterra who got that honor in Week 12. Nothing in the Eagles' game plan suggests that any Philadelphia tight end will have fantasy relevance until Goedert returns.

Calcaterra saw the field for just 19 offensive snaps and was not targeted a single time in Sunday's win over Indianapolis.

Calcaterra could have been in line for an increased role in the absence of Dallas Goedert (shoulder), as No. 2 tight end Jack Stoll primarily fills a blocking role. While Calcaterra did indeed set a season high in offensive snaps, he remained in nowhere near a fantasy-relevant role.

Calcaterra could benefit from an uptick in snaps with top tight end Dallas Goedert suffering a shoulder injury in Monday's loss to the Commanders that is expected to sideline him for multiple weeks, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Jack Stoll has played 40 percent of the Eagles' snaps on offense this season and has been the clear No. 2 tight end through the team's first nine games, but he's been deployed almost exclusively as a blocker and has recorded just eight receptions through 25 career games. As such, the Eagles could look to the likes of Calcaterra and Tyree Jackson (knee) -- who is on the PUP list but could be activated Week 11 -- to help pick up the slack in the pass-catching department while Goedert and the 5.9 targets per game he's averaged for the season are out of the lineup. While Goedert has generally enjoyed could health this season up until now, Calcaterra hasn't played more than 17 snaps in any game in 2022 and hasn't drawn a target since he recorded a 40-yard reception Week 3.

Calcaterra wasn't targeted while playing 11 of the Eagles' 53 snaps on offense Sunday in the team's 35-13 win over the Steelers.

A healthy inactive through the Eagles' first two games, Calcaterra has now dressed in five consecutive contests as Philadelphia's No. 3 tight end. The role hasn't translated to much meaningful production or playing time, as the rookie has one reception (for 40 yards) to his name while playing just 55 total snaps on offense in his five games.

Calcaterra (coach's decision) is inactive Monday against the Vikings.

Calcaterra will sit again in Week 2 despite making the 53-man roster. The Eagles have opted to bring Noah Togiai up from the practice squad for the second straight week to dress as the No. 3 tight end, leaving Calcaterra sidelined. The rookie tight end will continue to try and earn the chance to make his NFL debut in Week 3, when the Eagles play the Commanders.

Calcaterra (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Lions.

Calcaterra was able to make the 53-man roster, but he's still No. 4 on the Eagles' tight end positional depth chart. He'll give way to Dallas Goedert, Jack Stoll and Noah Togiai at the position Sunday. The rookie, selected in the sixth round of the 2022 Draft, will need to prove more to crack the roster on gameday in Week 2.

Calcaterra (hamstring) returned to practice Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Calcaterra practiced for the first time since July 30 on Friday after being sidelined with a hamstring issue. The tight end was drafted in the sixth round of this year's draft and will compete with Jack Stoll and Tyree Jackson (knee) for the backup role behind Dallas Goedert in 2022.

Calcaterra (hamstring) is still not practicing with the team Sunday, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

Calcaterra suffered the injury during practice Aug. 1 and has been out since. Selected in the sixth round of the 2022 Draft, Calcaterra is likely competing with the returning Richard Rodgers for a roster spot, with Tyree Jackson (knee) on the active/PUP list.

Calcaterra suffered a leg injury in practice Saturday, Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal reports.

The severity of Calcaterra's injury is unclear, but it will keep him out of practice Monday at minimum. Once cleared to return, the rookie sixth-round pick will attempt to carve out a depth role on Philadelphia's tight end depth chart.

The Eagles selected Calcaterra in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 198th overall.

Calcaterra had an interesting route to the NFL. He nearly ended his career after sustaining concussions at Oklahoma and was out of football in 2020. Calcaterra returned to the gridiron at SMU in 2021 and built on the potential he showed when he was in Norman. He caught 38 of 63 targets for 465 yards and four touchdowns in an explosive SMU passing game. Calcaterra (6-foot-4, 241 pounds) ran a 4.62 in the 40-yard dash at the combine, which projects well for his ability to attack the seam in Philadelphia's offense. He's a worthwhile late-round gamble for the Eagles.
