Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert gave an update on his injury status on Wednesday, Sept. 17. Goedert, who injured his knee in week one against the Dallas Cowboys, was inactive against the Chiefs this past weekend, as his team sent Kansas City to an 0-2 start.
“Got out there again, felt really good,” Goedert said after Wednesday’s practice. “Still taking it day-by-day but I’ll see how it feels tomorrow.”
Goedert was a limited participant Wednesday, but seems to be in high-spirits about the status of his recovery. He has no official injury tag for the Eagles Sunday matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.
Goedert said that he finished the week one game against the Cowboys despite suffering the injury in the second quarter of the game. He wanted to suit up at Arrowhead Stadium last weekend, but was held out by the teams’ medical staff.
“Tried to convince them to let me play last week, but they made me listen to the medical professionals,” Goedert quipped during his interview.
In Goedert’s absence in week two, the Eagles utilized second and third string tight ends Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson. Both mostly factored into the blocking game more than the passing game, as they each had just one reception for six and five yards, respectively.
Goedert’s threat as a pass-catcher was certainly missed and will play a huge factor into this weekend’s game against LA if he is able to return.
Goedert on Eagles Offensive Growth
Goedert expressed that the Philadelphia offense is an ever-evolving entity each season, and that this 2025 edition of the unit isn’t even close to it’s peak at this point of the season.
“We’re growing as a team, last year we were sitting at 2-2 four weeks in, we didn’t really find our identity as an offense until after that,” Goedert said. “It’s still really early, things are going to start to come together.”
The passing game has been effectively stymied by the Cowboys and Chiefs in each of the first two weeks, as Jalen Hurts has thrown for just 253 yards in both games combined. He hasn’t thrown for a touchdown yet, though he has rushed for 77 yards while Saquon Barkley has 148 yards on the ground through week two.
“I feel like we have a really special team, a lot of hungry guys,” Goedert said. “We’ve just got to keep taking it one week at a time and try to put our best work out on the field on Sundays.”
Goedert’s insertion back into the lineup should help the passing game get going for Hurts and the Eagles, and it seems like the 8th-year veteran is doing everything he can to be ready for Sunday.
Battle of 2-0 Teams in Philadelphia
Both the Eagles and Rams are entering week three undefeated. Los Angeles won a defensive battle with the Houston Texans in week one before their offense exploded for 33 points in a week two victory over the Tennessee Titans.
Matthew Stafford looks like his vintage self after two weeks, with receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams providing him multiple options for big-plays on every down.
The Eagles strong secondary will be the unit to watch in this game as they’re taking on a pass-first offense for the third week in a row after two successful performances.
Something’s got to give this week in Philadelphia. The Eagles and Rams will face off in the 1 p.m. window.
