The Philadelphia Eagles faced a tough challenge in their Week 13 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, and unfortunately, they also suffered a loss on the injury front. Tight end Dallas Goedert injured his knee during the game and was unable to return. While it is not a season-ending injury, it is serious enough to potentially land him on the short-term injured reserve list, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

This is not the first time that Goedert has been sidelined this season. He previously missed three games due to a hamstring injury. In his absence, backup tight end Grant Calcaterra stepped up and had an impressive performance, catching all nine of his targets for 93 yards. However, the Eagles will undoubtedly miss Goedert's presence on the field if he is forced to sit out for an extended period of time.

Unfortunately, Goedert has a history of injuries. He missed three games in the 2023 season and another five games in 2022. If he is placed on injured reserve, he will have to sit out for at least the next four games. This is a critical stretch for the Eagles as they look to lock up a top seed in the NFC.

Let's take a look at the Eagles' upcoming schedule:
• Week 14: Carolina Panthers
• Week 15: Pittsburgh Steelers
• Week 16: At Washington Commanders
• Week 17: Dallas Cowboys
• Week 18: New York Giants

Losing Goedert for these crucial games could have a significant impact on the team's success. Despite not having high volume stats, Goedert has been a reliable and efficient receiver for the Eagles. He has 38 catches on 46 targets for 441 yards and two touchdowns. When the ball is thrown his way, he has been averaging an impressive 9.6 yards per target.

It's not just his receiving abilities that will be missed, but also his blocking skills. Goedert is a versatile player who can make an impact in both the passing and running game. He has been a valuable asset for the Eagles' offense, and his absence will be felt on the field.

As we wait for updates on Goedert's injury, it's important to keep in mind that injuries are a part of the game. The Eagles will have to adjust and make necessary changes to their game plan if Goedert is unable to play. This could mean more opportunities for other tight ends on the roster, such as Calcaterra.
