Dallas Goedert Injury Update: Eagles TE Set To Miss Multiple Weeks After Picking Up Big Injury Against Cowboys

The Philadelphia Eagles secured a massive win against their long-time rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, in the Week 9 matchup. However, the coveted victory did not come without a price. TE Dallas Goedert injured his arm, marking a significant loss for the team.

Before this injury, Goedart had caught his last three passes from Jalen Hurts himself. Then the star QB found him once again in the second quarter, but safety Markquese Bell knocked him down onto the ground.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ tight end lay in pain on the field, holding on to his injured arm. According to Adam Schefter’s post via X, Goedart has an MRI scheduled for Monday, which would confirm the prognosis. He is expected to undergo surgery for his fractured arm, leading to several weeks off the field.

Schefter wrote, “Eagles’ TE Dallas Goedert has a fracture in his forearm and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine if there is any further damage, as well, per sources. Either way, Goedert is set to miss time and is an injured reserve candidate.”

Dallas Goedert has had a mediocre season this year, with 38 receptions for 410 yards and two touchdowns. Enjoying his sixth season with the Eagles, the Sunday game, Goedert gave a few highlights. Before the injury, he caught three receptions for 50 yards.

It is abundantly unfortunate for the Eagles’ TE to be brutally injured on the field. Also, quarterback Dak Prescott and TE Luke Schoonmaker suffered a hard time on the field during this matchup. However, the loss was partially compensated by a close win for the Eagles in a 28-23 display.

Dallas Goedert Witnesses Continued Struggle Against Injuries

Goedert has a history of missing seasons, this being fifth in line. He has been sidelined in the past season for his shoulder injury, missing four games. This time again, he is expected to miss approximately four weeks, which includes time spent in surgery and recovery for the star TE.

This astonished the Eagles’ fans, who expressed remorse in the comment section, while some even blamed the Cowboys for keeping their game tactics stinkier than usual.

The Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) are going strong in the season, and will now head into their bye week. Goedert’s four weeks will be marked by the team’s match against the Kansas City Chiefs (7-2) as they return from their bye week as well. Subsequently, the Nov. 27 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, with whom they have an all-time record of 8-6. As their star tight end is out, all eyes will be on the Eagles’ remedial plans in the coming weeks.
