Against the Cowboys in Week 9, Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert suffered a fracture to his right forearm. Now that two weeks have passed with no word on an IR designation, Goedert’s potential return in Week 14 against those same Cowboys is beginning to be eyed by the Eagles, fans, and analysts alike.Using Twitter on Friday,
November 24th, Joe Tolentino of the Philadelphia Inquirer stated, “Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is healing more quickly than expected despite his fractured forearm. Goedert just finished a cardio workout. Chatted with him in the locker room and he seems to be in great spirits.”
Then, Tolentino quotes head coach Nick Sirianni from a week earlier: “We have high hopes that Dallas is going to be back,” Sirianni stated last week in reference to Goedert. Once more, I’m not sure when. That’s unfair to Dallas, in my opinion.He isn’t an IR for a purpose.
Naturally, Goedert embarked on a contentious play that left fans debating whether or not it was filthy. Fans and analysts posted videos of the play in question on social media, examining it from various perspectives and in slow motion. Cowboys safety Markquese Bell sparked intense emotions when Sloan Piva of Sporting News went so far as to refer to him as a “scumbag.”
NFL Network Insider When Goedert broke his four arms, Ian Rapoport of Good Morning Football first said he would only be out for about four weeks. As time passes, this prognosis—which initially appeared to be short—becomes more and more likely, especially in light of the recent news.
