Philadelphia has a bye in Week 10, but they have a tough stretch of games that includes four playoff teams:
- Week 11 at Kansas City Chiefs
- Week 12 vs. Buffalo Bills
- Week 13 vs. San Francisco 49ers
- Week 14 at Dallas Cowboys
Goedert exited and did not return after being tackled by Cowboys safety Markquese Bell in the third quarter after making a reception.
Goedert finished the night with three catches for 50 yards and has 38 catches for 410 yards and two touchdowns.
Jack Stoll will be the No. 1 tight end in Goedert’s absence, while Albert Okwuegbunam, acquired from the Denver Broncos via trade in August, could see significant snaps as well.
Grant Calcaterra was also sidelined Sunday after a concussion in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders.
