Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Two grabs in SB LIX victory
Rotowire
Goedert secured both targets for 27 yards in the Eagles' 40-22 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.
The talented tight end helped ignite the Eagles' first touchdown drive with a 20-yard reception on the second play of the possession, and he subsequently drew an unnecessary roughness penalty on the same drive when he took a hit to the head from the Chiefs' Trent McDuffie on a third-down incompletion. Goedert would go on to play a minor role the rest of the way, but by recording a second catch, he finished with multiple receptions in each of Philadelphia's four postseason victories. When healthy, Goedert once again was a key complementary target for Jalen Hurts during the regular season and postseason, but he's slated to head into the final year of his contract in 2025 unless an extension is reached or Philadelphia opts to exercise a potential out that would result in a dead cap hit of just over $11 million.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Full practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Goedert (ankle) practiced fully Wednesday.
Goedert didn't take part in drills during the first week of Super Bowl prep due to an ankle injury, but the Eagles didn't hand him a designation on last Friday's practice report, indicating that there was little concern about his availability for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs. Indeed, with an uncapped session under his belt to begin this week, he's set to serve as Philadelphia's top tight end in the Super Bowl.
Goedert (rest/ankle) doesn't have a designation for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9 versus the Chiefs.
Goedert is dealing with an ankle injury for a second straight week, as he was held out of all drills during the first week of Super Bowl prep. As the situation currently stands, he doesn't appear to be in danger of missing the final game of the campaign. Considering his recent practice regimens, though, Goedert may have some limitations once the Eagles arrive in New Orleans next week, meaning his status will continue to be monitored to get a sense of his level of health.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: DNP on Thursday
Rotowire
Goedert (rest/ankle) didn't practice Thursday.
For a second week in a row, Goedert has been listed as a non-participant on the first two Eagles injury reports due to an ankle issue. Last week, he was able to cap it with a full session and enter the weekend without a designation for the NFC Championship Game, when he handled an 82 percent snap share en route to seven catches (on eight targets) for 85 yards in a 55-23 win against the Commanders. With more than a week to prepare for a Super Bowl matchup with the Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 9, Goedert has plenty of time to prove the health of his ankle in advance of that contest.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Estimated as non-participant
Rotowire
Goedert (rest/ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
An ankle issue affected Goedert's practice participation ahead of this past Sunday's 55-23 win over the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game, but he approached that contest without an injury designation and ending up logging 58 of 71 snaps on offense while catching seven of his eight targets for 85 yards and carrying twice for 13 yards. With no reported setbacks coming out of that contest, Goedert's listed absence Wednesday was likely a result of the Eagles managing his reps. He's not expected to face any limitations in the Eagles' Feb. 9 Super Bowl matchup with the Chiefs.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Quietly strong year continues
Rotowire
Goedert caught seven of eight targets for 85 yards while rushing twice for 13 yards in Sunday's 55-23 win over the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game.
Goedert led the Eagles in receptions, tied A.J. Brown for the team lead in targets and finished just 11 receiving yards short of Brown's team-leading total. If you take away Week 6, when Goedert got hurt after playing three snaps against the Browns, he's averaging 52.6 receiving yards in 13 other combined regular-season and postseason games. That average was topped by only George Kittle, Trey McBride and Brock Bowers in the regular season among all NFL tight ends. Goedert will play in his second Super Bowl on Feb. 9 in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, having been part of the Philadelphia team that lost Super Bowl LVII to the Chiefs two years ago.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Clear for NFC Championship Game
Rotowire
Goedert (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game versus the Commanders.
The Eagles held Goedert out of drills both Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle injury, but he got back on the field Friday as a full participant and thus will be available this weekend. He even relayed to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia that the plan all along was for Philadelphia to manage the tight end to ensure he was good to go with the team just one win away from a Super Bowl berth. In his sole appearance against Washington this season back in Week 11, Goedert hauled in all five of his targets for 61 yards, which marked his third-highest yardage total of the campaign (including playoffs).

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Officially DNP on Thursday
Rotowire
Goedert (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.
Coach Nick Sirianni told Tim McManus of ESPN.com earlier Thursday that Goedert would be on the practice field. Per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, the preceding came to pass, but Goedert also didn't take part in warmups and remained on the sideline, ultimately going down as a DNP for a second straight day. Goedert thus will have one more chance to mix into drills this week during Friday's session, at which point the Eagles could make a ruling on his availability for Sunday's NFC Championship Game versus the Commanders.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Listed as non-participant
Rotowire
Goedert did not participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice due to ankle injury.
Goedert, who led the Eagles with four catches for 56 yards (on four targets) during this past Sunday's 28-22 divisional-round win over the Rams, appears to have tweaked his ankle at some point along the way. The tight end will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against Washington. Through two playoff games thus far, Goedert has posted an 8-103-1 receiving line on 10 targets.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Leading receiver as Philly advances
Rotowire
Goedert caught all four of his targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 28-22 divisional-round win over the Rams.
The tight end led all Eagles pass catchers in yardage, as Jalen Hurts threw for only 128 yards on the day. Goedert is having a solid playoff so far, posting an 8-103-1 line on 10 targets through two games, and with the team's passing game being subordinate to its run game, he might be the most reliable downfield option Philly has heading into an NFC Championship Game clash against the Commanders.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Back at practice Friday
Rotowire
Goedert (illness) returned to practice Friday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Goedert made a midweek appearance on the Eagles' injury report Thursday as a non-participant due to an illness. Because the bug seemingly was a temporary concern, he may not be in danger of missing Sunday's divisional-round game against the Rams. Ultimately, Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Goedert heads into the weekend with a designation.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Comes down with illness
Rotowire
Goedert didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
After sitting out Weeks 14-17 due to a knee injury and making a cameo Week 18 against the Giants, Goedert returned to a normal workload this past Sunday versus the Packers, handling a 92 percent snap share en route to four catches (on six targets) for 47 yards and one touchdown. With an illness now afflicting him, his status will be one to monitor ahead of Sunday's divisional-round game against the Rams.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Hauls in TD against Green Bay
Rotowire
Goedert caught four of six targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card round win over the Packers.
The tight end connected with Jalen Hurts on a 24-yard score late in the third quarter to help put the game out of reach. Goedert has gotten into the end zone in three of his last six games dating back to Week 10, but that stretch was interrupted by an IR stint late in the regular season due to a knee injury. A healthy Goedert should remain one of Hurts' top options in the divisional round.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Four grabs in return from IR
Rotowire
Goedert caught four of six targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants.
Making his return from a four-game absence due to a knee injury, Goedert shook off any rust fairly quickly despite the fact that he was catching passes from Tanner McKee rather than Jalen Hurts (concussion). The Eagles are optimistic about Hurts' chances of suiting up next weekend in a wild-card clash against the Packers, but Goedert should have a significant role in the offense regardless of who is under center. Through 10 regular-season appearances in 2024, Goedert caught 42 of 52 targets for 496 yards and two TDs.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Activated from IR
Rotowire
The Eagles activated Goedert (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, and the tight end doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.
After practicing fully all week, Goedert will be available for his first game action since he suffered a knee injury Week 13 at Baltimore. While many of the Eagles starters won't suit up in the season finale, the team seemingly wants Goedert to get his legs under him in a game scenario in advance of the playoffs. It's unclear how much run he may get Sunday, but Grant Calcaterra and E.J. Jenkins will be Philadelphia's other options at tight end this weekend.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Status for Week 18 undecided
Rotowire
Goedert (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Since being designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Goedert hasn't had any restrictions in the Eagles' first two Week 18 practices. Though head coach Nick Sirianni has already said that quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion/finger), running back Saquon Barkley and other key starters will be held out of Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Giants, Goedert said that he hasn't yet been told whether or not he'll play in Week 18, per Brooks Kubena of The Athletic. Goedert added that he's fully confident that he'll be ready to go for the start of the Eagles' postseason run, but it could be beneficial for the team to activate him this week and have him see some game action against the Giants, given that he hasn't played since Week 13.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Full listing Wednesday
Rotowire
Goedert (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.
The Eagles designated Goedert for return from injured reserve Wednesday, but despite being unhindered in his first on-field work since landing on IR on Dec. 7, he doesn't seem likely to be available Sunday. Head coach Nick Sirianni has already said that many of the team's starters -- including quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) and running back Saquon Barkley -- won't play in Week 18, and Goedert presumably fits in that group, too. Still, Goedert's ability to practice after missing the minimum four games is a good sign that his return from IR is imminent, even if it doesn't happen until the wild-card round.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Cleared to practice
Rotowire
The Eagles designated Goedert (knee) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Goedert is slated to resume practicing with the Eagles on Wednesday, after having missed the last four games following his placement on IR on Dec. 7. The Eagles are locked in as the NFC's No. 2 seed in the playoffs, so it doesn't seem likely that Goedert will be activated ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Giants. The tight end will, however, be able to get some valuable practice reps in this week, presumably with an eye toward being ready to handle a full workload in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Sits out another practice
Rotowire
Goedert (knee) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Goedert hasn't been on the field for either of the Eagles' first two practices of Week 14 prep, with his absences having been fully expected after Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Monday that the tight end was considered week-to-week due to the knee injury he sustained in this past Sunday's win over the Ravens. With Goedert on track to miss this weekend's game against the Panthers and potentially additional time beyond that, Grant Calcaterra is expected to step in as the Eagles' top tight end.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Absent from practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Goedert (knee) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Goedert's absence from practice Wednesday comes as little surprise, given that he was labeled week-to-week after suffering a knee injury during Philadelphia's 24-19 win over the Ravens this past Sunday. The tight end could be a candidate for injured reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games. While the Eagles haven't officially ruled Goedert out for Sunday's game against the Panthers yet, the expectation is that Grant Calcaterra will step in as the Eagles' starting tight end this weekend.
