Eagles Face Major Concern as Dallas Goedert Misses Practice with Knee Injury
The Philadelphia Eagles are preparing for their Week 5 showdown against the Denver Broncos, but troubling news has emerged surrounding one of their most reliable weapons. Tight end Dallas Goedert was a surprise addition to the injury report, missing Wednesday’s practice with a knee issue. NFL insider Mike Garafolo and ESPN’s Tim McManus both confirmed the update, sparking immediate concern among fans. Goedert had already missed time in Week 2 with a knee sprain before returning for Weeks 3 and 4, playing more than 75 percent of offensive snaps. Now, this new setback raises fresh questions about durability at a critical stretch of the season. Through three games, the veteran tight end has caught 12 passes for 114 yards and three touchdowns, proving to be one of Jalen Hurts’ most trusted red-zone targets. Without him, the offense may be forced to adjust. Expect Hurts to lean more heavily on AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, and even Saquon Barkley in passing downs. Backup tight ends Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson could also see bigger roles, while the Eagles might shift more toward their dominant ground game to balance the attack. The Eagles’ latest injury report also listed Jalen Carter, Nakobe Dean, and Lane Johnson as limited participants, but Goedert’s absence is the most significant storyline. At 30 years old, his leadership and versatility remain vital to the team’s offensive rhythm. As the undefeated Eagles head into Week 5 at Lincoln Financial Field, Goedert’s availability could directly impact the game plan. Head coach Nick Sirianni is expected to wait until later in the week before finalizing the tight end’s status, leaving fans anxious for updates.
