The Eagles offense is being tested early and often this season, and just one drive after Saquon Barkley was sidelined with a stinger, Dallas Goedert went into the medical tent after taking a big hit to his right leg during a block. Goedert was seen back on the sideline talking to trainers, but ultimately was listed as questionable to return with a knee injury.
Goedert has been a huge asset to Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense, not
just this season, but last year, as well. In the team’s season opener last week against the Commanders, the TE had four catches for 77 yards and two touchdowns. Before leaving Sunday’s game in Nashville, Goedert had just one catch for four yards.
Without their starting tight end, the Eagles will rely on Johnny Mundt, who is an experienced veteran and a notable blocker, and also have E.J. Jenkins on the active game-day roster. That’s it. Rookie TE Eli Stowers is already on IR and out until at least Week 5, and the only other tight end they have in the building is Josiah Deguara on the practice squad.
Hopefully, Goedert isn’t out for an extended time, and the team can add some extra depth at the position if they need — like, perhaps former Eagles TE Zach Ertz who is currently available.
