The Eagles downgraded Stowers (quadriceps) to out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Stowers will have to wait at least another week before making his regular-season NFL debut after he had his 21-day practice window opened earlier this week. Stowers should see snaps as a catch-first tight end behind Dallas Goedert once he's ready to return to game action.

The Eagles downgraded Calcaterra (back) to out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Calcaterra remains on injured reserve, though his 21-day practice window was opened earlier in the week. He's nearing a return, though his role is unclear behind Dallas Goedert and potentially even block-first TE Johnny Mundt.

The Colts activated Mallory (thumb) from injured reserve Saturday.

Mallory doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Titans and is slated to make his 2026 debut. He should slot into the tight-end mix alongside Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree behind Tyler Warren (groin). Mallory has 23 career catches for 252 yards across 24 regular-season appearances.

Ertz is not being elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's matchup against Carolina, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

After being signed to the Eagles' practice squad Sept. 22, Ertz was elevated three straight weeks and produced a 3-22-0 receiving line on eight targets. However, he's reached the maximum with the three elevations and would need to be signed to Philadelphia's active roster in order to suit up again on game day. Ertz may no longer be needed due to Dallas Goedert returning to action in Week 5. Plus, Grant Calcaterra (back) and Eli Stowers (quadriceps), both of whom are still on IR, are on the verge of being activated.

Freiermuth (calf) was added to the injury report Saturday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The late addition of a calf issue puts Freiermuth's availability in doubt ahead of Week 6. He's coming off a two-touchdown performance against the Colts in Week 5, but if he's sidelined for Sunday, then Darnell Washington would step into a larger role offensively, with Robert Tonyan also in the mix for more snaps.

Runyon (lower body) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Runyon opened the season on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury. His 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, and he was a limited practice participant in all three sessions during Week 6 prep. That's not quite enough for Runyon to make his 2026 debut, but his next opportunity to do so is Week 7 against the Rams on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Allen (foot) does not have an injury designation against the Cardinals on Sunday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

A foot injury prevented Allen from practicing Wednesday or Thursday, but his limited participation Friday was enough for him to fade an injury tag for Sunday's NFC West clash. The fourth-year pro has six catches (on nine targets) for 63 yards through five regular-season games.

Stowers (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

The rookie second-rounder was placed on injured reserve prior to Week 1 due to a quadriceps injury. He opened Week 6 prep with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday, but he wouldn't be eligible to make his NFL debut unless he's activated from IR on Saturday.

Calcaterra (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

The Eagles could significantly bolster their depth at tight end if both Calcaterra and rookie second-rounder Eli Stowers (quadriceps) are activated from injured reserve. If he's cleared to make his 2026 debut Sunday, then Calcaterra would likely slide into the TE2 role behind Dallas Goedert and ahead of Johnny Mundt.

Martin-Robinson (hamstring) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts.

Martin-Robinson upgraded to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited to start Week 6 prep. The tight end is all set to suit up behind Gunnar Helm and Daniel Bellinger as the No. 3 tight end for the Titans' offense and special teams.
