Eagles TE Dallas Goedert Heads to IR With Shoulder Injury

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert suffered a severe left shoulder injury on a missed facemask penalty in Monday’s loss to the Eagles.

By video, Goedert appeared to suffer a posterior shoulder subluxation with a possible avulsion fracture when he was landed on by two defenders with his arm at an awkward angle.

The 27-year-old from South Dakota attempted to brace his fall with his left arm, but the combined weight likely forced his shoulder to dislocate out of the back of the joint (posterior).

Philadelphia placed Goedert on IR Wednesday, knocking him out at least four weeks.

If Goedert does have an avulsion fracture, when the ligament pulls off a small piece of the bone, he will likely miss the remainder of the season.

If he avoids a fracture, he could return by the end of December. That could leave him healthy for Week 18 and a playoff run, but that would be the best case scenario.

Grant Calcaterra and Jack Stoll are the two remaining tight ends on the roster, but second-year tight end Tyree Jackson has been designated to return from the PUP list.

Stoll has four catches this season, while Calcaterra has one.

Jackson suffered a torn ACL in early January and will likely have limited mobility when he returns.

Goedert ranks fourth in tight ends this season with 43 catches and 544 yards in 9 games this season.
