Wednesday's Injury Report
The Eagles got some key players back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Defensive tackle Jalen Carter, who missed Thursday's game with a heel injury, was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Carter told the media he's "going to play this week." Left guard Landon Dickerson (ankle) and cornerback Quinyon Mitchell (hamstring) were both limited participants. Dickerson was inactive for Week 6 while Mitchell left the Giants game at the end of the first quarter and did not return.
The Eagles turned to veteran Brett Toth to replace Dickerson last week, and Philadelphia went with the outside cornerback tandem of Adoree' Jackson and Kelee Ringo after Mitchell was sidelined. Defensive tackle Gabe Hall was elevated from the practice squad before the Giants game to provide depth amidst Carter's injury.
The only Eagle who didn't practice on Thursday was tight end Grant Calcaterra, who left the Week 5 Broncos game with an oblique injury and was inactive against the Giants. Philadelphia signed tight end Jaheim Bell to the practice squad before Wednesday's practice.

J.J. McCarthy is limited at Wednesday's practice
The biggest question surrounding Minnesota is who will start at quarterback. J.J. McCarthy has missed the past three games with an ankle injury with Carson Wentz starting in his place.
McCarthy was a limited participant on Wednesday while Wentz practiced fully with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder. If Wentz starts on Sunday, it will be the second time he faces the team that drafted him No. 2 overall in 2016.
Everybody on the Vikings' active roster practiced in some capacity. Outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel (neck), tackle Brian O'Neill (knee), and offensive lineman Donovan Jackson (wrist) all missed Minnesota's Week 5 game before their bye and were limited practice participants on Wednesday.
Starting center Michael Jurgens, who missed Week 5 with a hamstring injury, was a full participant. Linebacker Blake Cashman (hamstring) and outside linebacker Tyler Batty (knee) are both within their 21-day practice window and were full participants.
