Eagles Coach Sirianni Updates on Goedert’s Injury Status Ahead of Opener

Goedert Expected to Miss Multiple Games, According to Sirianni

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni provided an update on tight end Dallas Goedert's injury status during a press conference on Wednesday. Goedert suffered a foot injury in practice last week and is expected to miss multiple games, including the season opener against the Detroit Lions.

Sirianni Expresses Optimism Despite Setback

Despite the setback, Sirianni expressed optimism about Goedert's long-term prognosis. "Dallas is a tough guy," Sirianni said. "He's working hard to get back on the field as soon as possible. We're hopeful that he'll be back sooner rather than later."

Goedert's Absence Leaves Void in Eagles Offense

Goedert's absence leaves a significant void in the Eagles' offense. He was expected to be a key target for quarterback Jalen Hurts this season after posting career highs in receptions (56) and receiving yards (830) in 2022.

Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra to Step Up

In Goedert's absence, the Eagles will likely rely on Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra to step up. Stoll has 23 receptions for 225 yards and a touchdown in his two seasons with the Eagles, while Calcaterra is entering his second season after missing all of 2022 with an injury.

Eagles Face Lions in Season Opener

The Eagles will open the season against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on September 11th. The Lions finished 9-8 last season and are looking to make a playoff push in 2023.

Conclusion

The Eagles will be without tight end Dallas Goedert for multiple games, including the season opener against the Detroit Lions. Goedert's injury is a setback for the Eagles' offense, but the team remains optimistic about his long-term prognosis. Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra are expected to step up in Goedert's absence.
