Injury Update: Dallas Goedert status ‘up in the air’ for Week 2 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Just as the Eagles begin to ramp up for their Super Bowl LIX rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs, the team announced today that Dallas Goedert has a knee sprain and his status for Week 2 is currently ‘up in the air.’

According to our pal ESP, the team will monitor him throughout the week. It’s not believed to be a long-term issue, but there’s a chance he could miss Sunday.

Anyways, Dallas Goedert was the guy in Week 1, hauling in a team-high 7 catches and being Jalen Hurts’ most reliable weapon in the short and intermediate passing game.

To lose DG, even just for one week, throws a serious wrench into how the Eagles offense operates. Goedert has become the forgotten man in this Eagles offense.

He’s not flashy like A.J. Brown and doesn’t stretch the field like DeVonta Smith, but it’s hard to argue against the fact that Goedert has been the consistent glue guy that held everything together.

Without him, it’s not just the passing game that takes a hit. You’d think the running game feels it too, but then again they do have a fella named Saquon Barkley carrying that unit so we’ll just have to wait and see. Either way, Goedert is one of the best blocking tight ends in football, and when he’s not there, you notice.

A Silver Lining?

If there’s a bright side here, it’s that maybe this forces Kevin Patullo and the offensive staff to wake up and realize who’s on the outside. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith need to be targeted like the star receivers they are. Time to put the ball in your playmakers’ hands and let them go to work.

Hurts showed last year that when he’s aggressive with his throws to Brown and Smitty, this offense is nearly unstoppable. If Goedert sits, there’s no excuse not to unleash the wideouts and carve up the Chiefs secondary like they did in the Super Bowl.
