Nick Sirianni faces an obvious move at tight end after Eagles’ Week 1 win

Per Jonny Page of Bleeding Green Nation, the Cowboys created some clear size mismatches up front that are hard to pin completely on Calcaterra. Still, Page was brutally honest on Calcaterra’s night as a whole in his weekly film review.

"I really hate picking on individuals because, after a while, it isn't their fault. It's on the coaches. But Grant Calcaterra had a pretty abysmal performance. I counted at least 5 times the guy he was blocking ended up making the tackle. By playing so much 12/13 personnel, Calcaterra ended up having to block defensive tackles and defensive ends and he just couldn't do it. I found the run game incredibly frustrating and Calcaterra's usage utterly bizarre."

The elephant in the room entering Week 2? Calcaterra might no longer be the second-best tight end on Philly’s roster, and Sirianni knows it.

The Philadelphia Eagles just hinted at a blossoming role for tight end Kylen Granson

At this point, the Eagles know what they have in Calcaterra, a sixth-round draft pick they opted not to extend this offseason. Kylen Granson is the newcomer after joining the team on a one-year deal in free agency, and there’s no question who the better performer was as a blocker in the Cowboys game.

The Eagles clearly wanted to establish the run against Dallas’ beefy front seven. They lost a key chess piece on the game’s opening kickoff, however, when fullback Ben Van Sumeren was carted off with what ended up being a season-ending knee injury.

Per PFF, Granson lined up in the backfield — filling the fullback role for Van Sumeren — on three occasions. Two of the plays resulted in short Saquon Barkley rushes (a theme of the night), and the other was a play-action pass back against the grain that resulted in a short Granson reception in the flat. He also lined up wide (2), in the slot (3) and as a traditional inline tight end (9) over his 17 reps overall.

If Goedert is forced to miss the Chiefs game, Granson stands to see the biggest boost in playing time as Philly’s No. 2 tight end, with Cameron Latu likely to be elevated from the practice squad. Calcaterra would be the obvious replacement for Goedert, based on his success in Philly's pass-catching role last year.

But Eagles fans should be watching Granson closely this week. He's the superior blocker, and a big game (or two) could lead Sirianni to an obvious decision on Granson vs. Calcaterra at TE2, whenever that group returns to full strength.
