Quiet in loss Goedert recorded two receptions on two targets for 24 yards in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the 49ers.
Impact The Eagles didn't have much production through the air as a team, which trickled down to affect the pass catchers. Goedert finished second on the team with 24 yards, behind only Quez Watkins who tallied 117. Things should open up more for the offense in Week 3 against Dallas, though Jalen Hurts has shown a tendency to spread the ball around, so Goedert may not have bankable volume moving forward.

Crosses goal line in opener Goedert brought in four of five targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 32-6 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact The top receiving duo of DeVonta Smith and Jalen Reagor outpaced him in receptions and receiving yards, but Goedert joined his speedy pair of teammates in finding the end zone. The fourth-year tight end saw three more targets than position mate Zach Ertz, and he and quarterback Jalen Hurts looked like they hadn't missed a beat after their productive finish to the 2020 campaign. Goedert will look to build on the strong season-opening effort versus the 49ers in Week 2.

Sits out preseason finale Goedert did not play in Friday's preseason game against the Jets.
Impact Goedert wasn't injured -- the Eagles just chose to give him the day off. Even with Zach Ertz still in town, the general expectation is that Goedert will take the lead in Philadelphia's tight end rotation this year, so the team needs him ready to make a leading contribution against Atlanta in Week 1.

Slated to play Thursday Goedert is in line to play in Thursday's preseason contest versus the Patriots, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Goedert and fellow tight end Zach Ertz were in the starting lineup in preseason Week 1 and appear poised to reprise their normal roles this week. Last Thursday, Goedert (five snaps on offense) hauled in his only target for 34 yards, while Ertz (seven such plays) had two catches for 20 yards on three targets. The three receptions between the pair doubled as Jalen Hurts' only completions of the game, reflecting Goedert and Ertz' places in the Eagles offense. But rookie first-round wideout DeVonta Smith is slated to make his pro debut Thursday, and No. 1 RB Miles Sanders likely will be out there, too, so the TEs will have additional competition for targets.

Taking over as top tight end Goedert is expected to serve as the Eagles' top tight end this season, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.
Impact Goedert outproduced Zach Ertz in 2020 as the former ascended to the top of the team's depth chart, hauling in 46 balls for 524 yards and three scores. With Ertz reportedly on the trading block or becoming a candidate for release prior to Week 1, Goedert stands to take another step forward statistically this season.

Smith, McLaurin are active for Washington, as expected
Quarterback Alex Smith and wide receiver Terry McLaurin are active for Washington against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday nightJANUARY 4, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Won't play Sunday night Goedert (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington.
Impact With Goedert and Richard Rodgers (ankle) both out, Zach Ertz could handle an every-down role. Then again, the Eagles have already been eliminated from the playoffs, and they might want to take a look at reserves like Caleb Wilson and Jason Croom at some point in the season finale. Goedert finishes his second season with a 46-524-3 receiving line in 11 games, doing well to average 47.6 yards per game and 8.1 yards per target in a chaotic, subpar offense. He had his biggest games with Carson Wentz at quarterback, but Goedert showed decent chemistry with Jalen Hurts, catching 11 of 17 targets for 120 yards in Weeks 14 through 16.

Sits out another practice Goedert (calf) was listed as a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Impact Goedert has been idle for both of the Eagles' first two Week 17 practices while managing the calf issue. Head coach Doug Pederson hasn't clarified whether Goedert is at risk of missing Sunday's game against the Washington, but with the Eagles having been eliminated from playoff contention, the team could err on the side of caution and hold the tight end out for the season finale if there's truly any concern about his calf.

No go Wednesday Goedert (calf) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact Goedert left Sunday's loss at Dallas due to a calf injury, which now is keeping him off the practice field. He'll have two additional chances this week to fit in some reps, but if he ends up limited or sitting out Sunday against Washington, Zach Ertz may handle the majority of TE reps with Richard Rodgers still unable to practice with his ankle issue.

Banged up Sunday Goedert has been forced out of Sunday's game against the Cowboys due to a calf injury.
Impact Goedert left the field early in the fourth quarter, and the Eagles are officially listing him as questionable to return. Zach Ertz will operate as Philadelphia's clear top tight end in the meantime, while Caleb Wilson operates in a No. 2 role.
