Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will miss Sunday’s Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a knee sprain, the team said Friday.
Goedert, 30, sat out all three practices this week after sustaining the injury and was officially ruled out on the team’s final injury report. The veteran caught 42 passes for 496 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games last year, and led the Eagles in receiving yards with 215 during their postseason run. He also had two receptions for 27 yards in Philadelphia’s 40-22 Super Bowl victory over Kansas City.
With Goedert sidelined, the Eagles will turn to Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson at tight end, while practice-squad options Cameron Latu and E.J. Jenkins could be elevated. Wideout Jahan Dotson may also see increased snaps.
Philadelphia also ruled out rookie running back Will Shipley (oblique) and offensive tackle Cameron Williams (shoulder), while backup quarterback Tanner McKee (thumb) is listed as questionable. The Eagles travel to Kansas City at 1-0, facing a Chiefs team seeking to rebound from a Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
