Thursday news and updates.
The Philadelphia Eagles issued their second official injury report on Thursday in advance of their Week 9 home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Eagles listed two players under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: Dallas Goedert and Darius Slay.
Goedert is on track to miss his third game in a row. The Eagles will roll with Grant Calcaterra and Jack Stoll as their top two tight ends. We’ll see if they add a third to the roster or not.
Slay is on track to miss his first game this season. Isaiah Rodgers figures to start in his stead. Kelee Ringo will be the top backup on the outside behind Rodgers and Quinyon Mitchell.
The Eagles listed one player under LIMITED PARTICIPATION: Landon Dickerson.
Dickerson was upgraded to limited after sitting out on Wednesday. The guess here is he’ll be able to play. If not, it’ll be Tyler Steen starting at left guard.
The Eagles listed three players under FULL PARTICIPATION: Jalen Carter, Mekhi Becton, and Albert Okwuegbunam.
Carter returned to practice in full after sitting out on Wednesday. He’ll be ready to play.
Becton is on track to start at right guard on Sunday after missing last week’s game due to a concussion.
The Eagles opened Albert O’s 21-day practice window on October 16, so, they have until November 6 to either activate him to the roster or shut him down for the season. They have until 4:00 PM Eastern on Saturday, November 2 to activate him in time to play against the Jags. The Eagles need to open a roster spot for Albert O if they want him to return.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS INJURY REPORT (THURSDAY)
The Jags’ Thursday injury report is identical to their Wednesday injury report.
Starting guards Brandon Scherff and Ezra Cleveland missed practice for the second day in a row. Seems like they won’t be able to play. Between their absences and the Jags trading starting left tackle Cam Robinson, the Eagles really need to be able to take advantage of Jacksonville’s offensive line.
Christian Kirk will be placed on injured reserve with a season-ending injury. Elsewhere at wide receiver, starters Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis were limited again. It’s unclear if they’ll be able to play.
Leading rusher Tanks Bigsby was limited again. His status is unclear. Fellow running back Travis Etienne was also limited but Super Bowl LII champion Doug Pederson seemed optimistic about his playing chances.
