Grant Calcaterra News
Monday, August 31, 3:19 PM
The Philadelphia Eagles placed tight end Grant Calcaterra (back) on Injured Reserve on roster cutdown day on Sunday, according to the team's official website. Calcaterra will be forced to miss at least the first four games of the 2026 season after he missed the final two weeks of the preseason. The 27-year-old's injury leaves the Eagles a little light on depth at the position behind starter Dallas Goedert going into Week 1 against the division-rival Washington Commanders, with Johnny Mundt, rookie Eli Stowers, and E.J. Jenkins comprising the team's TE room to open the season. It is why the Eagles are considering a reunion with veteran Zach Ertz (knee), who is wrapping up his rehab from a torn ACL last year. The 27-year-old Calcaterra had a career-best 298 receiving yards and a touchdown on 24 receptions in 2024, but he fell to just nine catches, 76 yards, and one touchdown in 15 regular-season games last year in his fourth year in the NFL. The former sixth-rounder in 2022 from SMU is off the fantasy football radar in all leagues for the start of 2026.

Payne Durham News
Friday, August 29, 8:14 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Payne Durham could potentially see a larger role in the offense to begin the regular season. The Bucs are uncertain if starting tight end Cade Otton (leg) is going to be ready to play during the season opener. The team will likely wait and see how Otton progresses throughout next week before making a final decision. If he misses time, Payne Durham and Devin Culp figure to split up time as the starting tight end. Durham didn't see a ton of action last season, but played well when Otton missed time late in the season. When Otton was out, Durham hauled in nine receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns as the starter. There's not a lot of value here, but maybe Durham is a dart throw if Otton is unable to go in Week 1.
