Just after they got two of their top pass-catching options back in AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith on Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles lost another weapon in the passing game. During the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, star tight end Dallas Goedert went down with a hamstring injury and was originally questionable before it was determined that he will not return to the game, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
“Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) has been ruled out for the game,” Pelissero reported on X, formerly Twitter.
Goedert had just one target and no catches at the time of his exit. He was having a stellar season coming into Week 6, leading the Eagles in receiving with 301 yards on 28 catches. He has been an effective safety valve for Jalen Hurts this season, stepping up in the absence of Browns and Smith due to their injuries earlier in the season.
In addition to Goedert's injury, Philadelphia lost Darius Slay and Jordan Mailata, with the latter getting carted off the field late in the game. It has been a tough day for the Eagles as they try to hold off the Browns.
The Eagles' offense got off to a slow start against the struggling Browns, but Hurts has picked things up as the game has gone on. Hurts has thrown for over 200 yards and two touchdowns to give Philadelphia a 20-16 lead late in the fourth quarter.
On the other hand, the defense has scuffled a bit after starting strong against Deshaun Watson. It looked like it was going to be another terrible day for Watson, but he has rebounded in the second half and has given Cleveland a chance.
This game is coming down to the wire, and the Eagles are hoping to score a win as they deal with these key injuries.
