The Philadelphia Eagles offense took another hit today in Nashville, with tight end Dallas Goedert going down with a knee injury and listed questionable to return. This came just one drive after Saquon Barkley was sidelined with a stinger, putting serious pressure on the Birds’ early season momentum. Goedert was seen talking to trainers on the sideline after taking a big hit to his right leg during a block, but the official word is a knee injury.
A Massive Hit to Hurts’ Arsenal
Man, losing Goedert, even for a bit, is a brutal blow. He’s been an absolute difference-maker for Jalen Hurts and that Eagles offense, not just this year but last season too. Remember the season opener against the Commanders? He snagged four catches for 77 yards and two touchdowns! Before taking that big hit in Sunday’s game, Goedert already had one catch for four yards. That’s big-time production instantly gone from the field.
Who Steps Up? The Depth Dilemma
So, who’s left to step up? The Eagles will definitely lean on Johnny Mundt, an experienced veteran and known blocker. E.J. Jenkins is also on the active game-day roster, but that’s it for healthy bodies on game day. Rookie Eli Stowers is already on IR, out until at least Week 5. The only other tight end they’ve got in the building is Josiah Deguara on the practice squad. This depth chart is looking scary thin right now. The team might need to add some help, maybe even a familiar face like former Eagles TE Zach Ertz, who’s currently available. Let’s hope Goedert isn’t out for long, because the early season grind just got a whole lot tougher for Philly’s offense.
