Eagles make bad injury announcements on Landon Dickerson, Grant Calcaterra image

Things are going well for the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

Just not so much on the injury front with Landon Dickerson and Grant Calcaterra.

Dickerson was ruled out midway through the third quarter. He's got an ankle injury.

And Calcaterra was ruled out with his oblique injury just a few minutes later. He's the No. 2 tight end behind Dallas Goedert.

In between those announcements, Jalen Hurts threw a 47-yard touchdown to Saquon Barkley, so it's a bit of bad amid a bit of good.

The Eagles can withstand the loss of Calcaterra, but Dickerson is tougher. He's a part of their superstar offensive line.

It's not good timing for the Eagles, either.

They play on Thursday Night Football in Week 6 against the New York Giants, meaning a quick turnaround until their next game.

The Eagles will be hoping they can get through Sunday without any other injury problems. They led the Denver Broncos at halftime, 17-3.

If the Eagles can cruise to the finish line, then they can start getting ready for their divisional clash on Thursday, and they can start hoping for some returns from injury sooner rather than later.
