The Philadelphia Eagles currently have zero tight ends signed beyond 2025, and it’s taken barely one week of the new season to understand why.
No. 1 tight end Dallas Goedert sat out his second straight practice with a knee injury on Thursday. Should he miss Sunday’s Super Bowl LIX rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, head coach Nick Sirianni will be left short on options that inspire much confidence.
Fourth-year pro Grant Calcaterra was the next man up in 2024, when Goedert missed a career-high 10 regular-season games. But to say Calcaterra struggled with his main role in the offense — blocking — in last Thursday night’s season opener against the Dallas Cowboys is putting it mildly.
