Calcaterra was limited for the second day in a row with a back injury and is currently still on injured reserve. He's unlikely to suit up this week and will need a full practice before returning.NegativeInjuryOct 14, 2026
Calcaterra was limited in Wednesday's practice with a back injury and the Eagles opened his 21-day practice window from injured reserve. However, the Eagles should be in no rush to activate him given they already have three tight ends on the roster and Zach Ertz on the practice squad, though they seem to like him more than their fans do.NegativeRoleOct 14, 2026
Tight end opened 21-day practice window after Week 4 IR eligibility. Eagles already have multiple tight end bodies on roster (Goedert, Mundt, Jenkins, Ertz on practice squad), leaving unclear roster fit.

Grant Calcaterra was placed on IR and will miss at least the first four games of the season, though he was one of the team's two players designated to return.

Calcaterra is on injured reserve/designated for return and will miss at least four games before being eligible to return to the active roster. Eagles fans aren't going to love that Calcaterra is still on the team or that he could see playing time this season.NegativeInjuryAug 30, 2026
The source notes that Calcaterra, a TE, was placed on injured reserve/designated for return as part of the Eagles' 53-man roster cutdown. The source explains that teams can utilize up to two designations to place a player on IR while keeping them eligible to return after the player misses four games, and the Eagles used both of their two spots with Calcaterra and Jakorian Bennett.NegativeInjuryAug 29, 2026
