Despite missing Sunday’s contest, SportsRadio 94WIP Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks believes Goedert will be on the field for Week 3’s contest against the Los Angeles Rams.

“It is not believed to be long-term injury that will keep him sidelined for long,” Shorr-Parks posted Wednesday on X.

Goedert’s Troubling Injury Pattern

This marks just the latest in a long line of injuries for the veteran tight end:

  • 2024: Missed seven games due to hamstring and knee injuries
  • 2023: Missed three games due to a fractured forearm
  • 2022: Missed five games due to a shoulder fracture
  • 2020: Missed five games with a fractured left ankle and calf strain

In 94 games over eight seasons with Philadelphia, Goedert has 356 catches for 4,129 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns. In 12 playoff games, he has accumulated 562 yards on 52 receptions and four scores.

Goedert agreed to a restructured one-year, $10 million deal to remain with the Eagles for 2025.

With Goedert sidelined, Philadelphia will rely more heavily on backups Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson.

The Eagles are 1.5-point road favorites against Kansas City.
