Overview

• Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert suffered a fractured forearm during the game against the Dallas Cowboys and is expected to miss several weeks following surgery.
• Goedert was the third-leading receiver for the Eagles and his absence could lead to increased roles for backup tight ends Jack Stoll and Albert Okwuegbunam.
• Goedert's damage was incurred late in the third quarter on a 28-yard catch-and-run; he attempted to stiff-arm Cowboys linebacker Markquese Bell and landed on his forearm.
• Though the Eagles have not placed Goedert on injured reserve, if they do, he would be required to miss four games as per league rules.
• Aside from the remaining tight ends, head coach Nick Sirianni mentioned that the team could possibly look at free agents or players from practice squads to fill Goedert's position.
