Dallas Goedert enters the 2026 regular season as the Eagles' primary tight end after re-signing on a one-year deal, but his availability and target volume face early hurdles. The 31-year-old has already missed two games with a right knee MCL sprain suffered in Week 2, returning to limited practice ahead of Week 5 while the offense deals with injuries to DeVonta Smith and others. After posting a career-high 11 receiving touchdowns in 2025 amid heavy red-zone usage, Goedert opened 2026 with two scores in his lone full game before the injury. Philadelphia's passing attack now features Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and rookies including tight end Eli Stowers, creating competition for targets in a unit adjusting after A.J. Brown's departure. Full recovery, snap counts, and red-zone opportunities will shape his season-long touchdown total.
