Philadelphia Eagles’ final injury report vs Kansas City Chiefs shows one key starter will miss the Super Bowl rematch
Philly’s depth runs deep at the position!
The Philadelphia Eagles released their final injury report ahead of Sunday evening’s Week 2 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and it showed that one of their key starters will not be suiting up for the highly anticipated Super Bowl LIX rematch.
Per the Eagles’ injury report, starting tight end Dallas Goedert has been ruled out with a knee injury after not practicing all week.
Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson will step up in Goedert’s place.
Amid Goedert’s injury, head coach Nick Sirianni sang some high praise for Philly’s tight end depth even beyond Calcaterra and Granson.
“Grant’s done a really good job of stepping in and playing when Dallas hasn’t been able to play these last couple years,” Sirianni told reporters. “Really excited about Kylen and the things he can do, and I like both of our guys that are on the practice squad (and they) have had meaningful reps in games, whether Cam (Latu) was in San Francisco or E.J. (Jenkins) played a lot for us last year and did a really good job on special teams for us. Both developing players.
“So, really excited about those guys, and I think sometimes that’s rare that you have those guys on the practice squad that have played and have contributed and that you can trust right at the beginning of the season. I believe that that’s where that room is, and I’m excited about that room.”
In addition to Goedert, the Eagles will be without No. 2 running back Will Shipley (oblique) and offensive tackle Cameron Williams (shoulder).
On the brighter side of injury news, Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson will be in the lineup after nursing a back injury, and backup quarterback Tanner McKee is trending toward playing following a fractured thumb.
