Eagles Place Three Key Players on Injury List Ahead of Chiefs Rematch
Philadelphia’s Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs just got even tougher.
The Eagles have officially ruled out three key contributors: star tight end Dallas Goedert (knee), rookie running back Will Shipley (oblique), and linebacker Cameron Williams (shoulder).
Goedert’s absence looms largest. The veteran TE has long been a security blanket for Jalen Hurts, especially on third downs and in red-zone situations. Without him, Philly will lean heavily on backups and could shift more targets toward A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
Shipley, the rookie RB, had been carving out a role as a change-of-pace spark behind Saquon Barkley. His injury takes away some versatility from the backfield rotation, leaving Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell with expanded opportunities.
Meanwhile, the defense loses depth with Williams sidelined. The rookie linebacker had shown flashes of promise in camp and early reps, but the Eagles will now need more from veterans in the second unit.
With three notable pieces missing, the Eagles face an uphill battle in Kansas City. Still, this is a team built on resilience — and the “next man up” mentality will once again be put to the test.
