Eagles Getting 2 Key Offensive Weapons Back for Crucial Cowboys Game
Philadelphia Eagles tight ends Eli Stowers and Grant Calcaterra are being activated off IR and will play against the Cowboys.
The Philadelphia Eagles are preparing for a crucial game against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. The two teams are currently tied in the NFC East standings, and a victory for the Eagles would significantly boost their playoff chances. In anticipation of the matchup, the Eagles have activated two key offensive players from injured reserve: Eli Stowers and Grant Calcaterra. According to ESPN's Ian Rapoport, both players will be available to play in the important contest.
Eli Stowers, a second-round pick from the 2026 draft, has missed the entire season due to hamstring and quad injuries. However, the 23-year-old will now have the opportunity to make his NFL debut against the Cowboys. Stowers showcased promising skills during his collegiate career at Vanderbilt, where he played in 12 games last season. He recorded four touchdowns, 62 receptions, and 769 receiving yards, demonstrating his potential impact on the Eagles' offense.
Grant Calcaterra, another tight end who has also been sidelined this season due to a back injury, is another player set to return to action. In his previous season with the Eagles (2024), Calcaterra played in 17 games and contributed with one touchdown, 24 receptions, and 298 receiving yards. His performance last season highlights his ability to make an immediate impact on the Eagles' offensive corps.
With Stowers and Calcaterra now healthy and ready to play, the Eagles hope to end their three-game losing streak and secure a much-needed victory against the Cowboys. Both players have the potential to make significant contributions to the team's success in this critical matchup.
