Eagles' Goedert out Sunday vs. Chiefs due to knee injury
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has been ruled out for Sunday's Super Bowl LIX rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a knee injury, the team announced Friday.
Goedert is dealing with a knee sprain and didn't practice all week. However, the team doesn't consider the injury to be a long-term issue, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.
The veteran tight end led the Eagles in targets (7) and receptions (7) while posting 44 receiving yards in Philadelphia's Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Goedert is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he missed seven regular-season games due to injury. He's struggled to stay healthy throughout his career, failing to play a full season since his rookie year in 2018.
Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson are set to fill in for Goedert as the other two tight ends on the Eagles' roster.
