Eagles fans get the Dallas Goedert injury news they have been waiting to hear

Goedert was the top receiver on the Eagles in their Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys as he had seven receptions for 44 yards. Despite missing one game, he's still third on the team in receiving yards.

How critical is it that Goedert is back at Eagles practice?

The tight ends were basically non-existent in the Chiefs' game as Kylen Granson and Grant Calcaterra each had one reception for a combined 11 yards in the win. While Granson and Calcaterra are nice options, they don't have what Goedert has as a pass catcher.

When Goedert is on the field, he is a force and is arguably Hurts' number-three option. Last year, he had 496 yards and two touchdowns, the touchdowns were a career-low, and the yards were the second lowest behind his rookie season. He also missed a career-high seven games in the regular season.

If Goedert can stay healthy, he has the potential to be a top 10 tight end, but now he has missed 16 games in the last four seasons. It's part of the reason why he took a pay reduction in 2025 to stay with the team.

With Goedert practicing, he looks to be on the right track with playing against the Rams. The hope is that he can move forward and stay healthy the rest of the season. Anymore missed games, and there is a high chance he doesn't come back in 2026.
