Dallas Goedert, tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles, fractured his forearm in the Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys. Now, upon this week’s stern challenge at home against a Buffalo Bills team that crushed the lowly New York Jets in Week 11, Goedert – hoping to return to action, has been officially ruled out.
#Eagles RB D’Andre Swift and WRs A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Julio Jones are all off the injury report and will play Sunday vs. Buffalo. TE Dallas Goedert is out again.

How This Impacts The Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles have clear offensive firepower – with or without Dallas Goedert. With weapons such as AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, quarterback Jalen Hurts will always have targets to throw to. However, Goedert, like many great all-around tight ends, provides a ‘safety blanket’ type option for Jalen Hurts that the other wide receivers do not.
Moreover, unlike other teams that widely utilize two tight end sets, or have an excellent 1- 2 punch at tight end, like the New England Patriots – with Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki (although currently neither are playing particularly well in the Mac Jones-lead offence), the Eagles’ second option is competent but unspectacular tight end, Jack Stoll, who has a total of 158 CAREER receiving yards since entering the NFL in 2021.
Let’s see how this Philadelphia Eagles offence fares against a strong but depleted Buffalo Bills team that is missing key starters in linebacker, Matt Milano and star cornerback, Tre’Davious White. The Eagles are currently 3.5 point favourites in this matchup at Lincoln Financial Field.
