Dallas Goedert, the tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles, was placed on injured reserve this weekend and will not play against the Pittsburgh Steelers. After being placed on injured reserve following his injury against the Baltimore Ravens, Goedert will be sidelined for the next four games, including the matchup in Philadelphia the following week.
The Eagles’ tight end positions will be manned by Grant Calcaterra, C.J. Uzomah, and E.J. Jenkins in Goedert’s absence. Their passing offense, which has been lacking for the past few weeks, will suffer as a result. The Steelers’ pass defense has occasionally been vulnerable, but without Goedert, defense will be a little simpler.
After the Eagles defeated the Carolina Panthers 22–16, wide receiver A.J. Brown urged the team to improve their passing. In a heavyweight matchup between two teams that are close to the top of their conferences, they will try to do it against the Steelers.
Calcaterra took the majority of tight end action on Sunday without Goedert there, and it appears likely that he will start against the Steelers.
