Eagles-Giants Week 6 Injury Report: Who Is Playing on Thursday Night?
The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to turn things around after suffering their first loss of the regular season against the Denver Broncos. Now the Eagles will travel on the road to visit the New York Giants in Week 6.
After shocking the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4, the Giants came crashing back down to earth against the New Orleans Saints last week. Yet New York will certainly look to play spoiler against their division rival on Thursday.
Here’s the updated injury report for both the Eagles and the Giants ahead of Thursday night’s game.
Eagles Injury Report
Monday, October 6th
The Eagles did not practice on Monday, October 6th but the team did release an estimated injury report.

Jihaad Campbell and Byron Young were both estimated as limited participants.
Nakobe Dean was estimated as a full participant. It seems like there’s a real chance that Dean could be activated and make his return against the Giants.
Tuesday, October 7th

Grant Calcaterra and Landon Dickerson were once against estimated as DNP. It seems like neither player will be active for Thursday night’s game and could miss time beyond this week.

Jihaad Campbell and Byron Young were once again estimated as limited participants and should play in Week 6.
Nakobe Dean was once again estimated as a full participant. The Eagles have yet to fill the open spot on their 53-man roster and it seems like Dean will be added to the active roster soon.

Jalen Carter was surprisingly added to Wednesday’s injury report with a heel injury. Carter has been dealing with a shoulder injury since training camp but this heel injury is a new addition. Carter is officially questionable for Week 6.
Nakobe Dean was a full participant but is officially listed as questionable. Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reported that Dean is expected to make his return in Week 6.
Saquon Barkley, Jihaad Campbell and Byron Young were all full participants and will be good to go in Week 6.

The Giants did not practice on Monday, October 6th but the team did release an estimated injury report.
Swayze Bozeman, Jermaine Eluemunor, Demetrius Flanagan-Fowles and Darius Slayton were all projected as DNP. Eluemunor and Slayton are both starters and would be big losses for New York.
Dane Belton, Jevon Holland, Tyler Nubin, Dru Phillips, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Jaxson Dart were all projected as limited participants. Tracy’s projected participation is notable since he hasn’t played since Week 3. It doesn’t seem like any of these players are at serious risk of missing Thursday night’s game.
