The Philadelphia Eagles issued their third and final official injury report in advance of their Week 7 road game against the Minnesota Vikings.
The Eagles ruled one player OUT: Grant Calcaterra.
Calcaterra hasn’t practiced since suffering an oblique injury in Week 5. His absence means the Eagles will have Kylen Granson and Cameron Latu as rotational contributors behind starting tight end Dallas Goedert.
The Eagles ruled two players QUESTIONABLE: Landon Dickerson and Jalen Carter.
Dickerson was limited on Wednesday and Thursday before being upgraded to full go on Friday. Seems like he’s going to try to start at left guard. If Dickerson can’t make it through the game, Brett Toth figures to fill in for him.
Carter fully participated in practice on Wednesday and told reporters he’s going to play. But then he was limited on Thursday and Friday … and now he’s questionable. If the Eagles temporarily elevate Gabe Hall (or sign him to the roster since they have an open spot) from the practice squad prior to 4:00 PM Eastern on Saturday (which is the deadline to do so), that could be a bad sign for Carter’s chances of suiting up. We’ll find out if Carter is officially playing or not when Eagles-Vikings inactives are announced at 11:30 AM on Sunday morning.
Quinyon Mitchell, Zack Baun, and Jordan Davis are all listed without game statuses.
This means they’re ready to play despite appearing on the injury report this week.
Very good news that Mitchell will be able to play since starting both Adoree’ Jackson and Kelee Ringo against the Vikings’ wide receivers would’ve been really bad. Speaking of, Jackson figures to be CB2 with Ringo headed back to the bench.

Hughlett is eligible to return from IR after Week 8 but he might need longer to heal up. BVS, Wilson, and Okoronkwo suffered season-ending injuries.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS INJURY REPORT (FRIDAY)
The big news is that Carson Wentz will start against the Eagles; head coach Kevin O’Connell announced as much on Friday afternoon. Week 1 starter J.J. McCarthy was ruled questionable and is expected to serve as the emergency third quarterback behind Wentz and undrafted rookie Max Brosmer.
In addition to McCarthy, the Vikings ruled five other players questionable: starting right tackle Brian O’Neill, fill-in starting center Michael Jurgens (who’s had to play with Ryan Kelly on injured reserve), starting inside linebacker Blake Cashman, rotational defensive lineman Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, and depth outside linebacker Tyler Batty.
O’Neill was limited in practice this week so he might be a game-time decision. Ditto for Ingram-Dawkins.
Jurgens was full go in practice this week so he’ll probably play. Ditto for Cashman and Batty.
The Vikings ruled out starting outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel, who hasn’t played since Week 3 due to a neck injury.
Vikings starting outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard was listed without a game status despite unexpectedly popping up on Thursday’s report with a hamstring injury.
