The Philadelphia Eagles’ offense received a significant boost with the opening of the practice window for tight end Grant Calcaterra ahead of their wild-card playoff matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Coach Nick Sirianni has indicated that Calcaterra is recovering well from his hamstring injury, sustained during a Week 15 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Sirianni mentioned, “He’s progressing well, so that’s encouraging for us. We’ll see how he progresses throughout the week and what he can do on the field. It’s all about how he looks when he’s out there.” The Eagles will be monitoring his participation closely as the game approaches.
In addition to Calcaterra’s potential return, fellow tight end Dallas Goedert is also preparing for the game. Goedert, who has been sidelined with a shoulder injury, stated, “I’m feeling really good and expect to have a full workload against the Packers. I want to do everything I can to help the team win this postseason game.” Having both tight ends available could enhance the Eagles’ already potent offensive scheme.
The wild-card playoff game is set for January 12, 2024, and the Eagles are viewed as strong contenders in the playoffs with their dynamic offense. The potential return of Calcaterra, alongside Goedert’s expected full participation, marks a crucial development as the Eagles aim for a deep playoff run.
