Dallas Goedert’s knee injury will sideline him for at least the rest of the month. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that the Eagles are placing Goedert on injured reserve.
The veteran tight end will first be eligible to return for Philly’s regular season finale. Rapoport notes that the organization is hoping this break will have Goedert “full speed” for the postseason. While Week 18 could serve as a low-risk return, the Eagles could just wait to activate the tight end during the playoffs.
Goedert suffered his knee injury during last Sunday’s win over the Ravens. The 29-year-old still finished the contest having appeared in 40 snaps, with the tight end hauling in three catches for 35 yards and a score.
The former second-round pick has been limited to only nine games this season thanks to a hamstring issue that sidelined him for three games (and most of a fourth). When he’s been on the field, he’s been plenty productive, hauling in 38 catches for 441 yards. His 49 yards per game represents the third-highest average of his career, and that includes his no-show in Week 6.
