This would be adding injury to insult in a twisted way.
The Philadelphia Eagles suffered their first loss Monday night. The defeat to the Washington Commanders also saw the NFC East leaders lose tight end Dallas Goedert.
The shoulder injury came on a second-half play when Goedert had his facemask grabbed, which the officials missed and didn’t call a penalty on Washington.
Goedert should be back before the season end but in the short run it adds more pressure to Jalen Hurts and his receiving corps.
#Eagles TE Dallas Goedert will miss extended time with a shoulder injury suffered in the win over the #Commanders last night, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. Not a season-ender though. Injury added to insult on the play with the missed facemask that put him in harm’s way. pic.twitter.com/ndOPCiwKD2

Refs missed possibly the most obvious facemask in a very long time. Costly for Phillypic.twitter.com/qKOd3tpnmO
