Eagles expect Miles Sanders to miss Thursday night's game with knee injury... Zach Ertz also expected out for 3-to-4 weeks with an ankle injury, according to sources.

Goedert is expected to return to this week, a short week with a game on Thursday night. Owners were already asking about dropping Ertz on our Discuss Your Team forum, and it looks like that's a serious option at this point. At running back, Scott should suck up a large amount of Sanders' workload with Clement also becoming more of a factor.

The Philadelphia Eagles have placed TE Dallas Goedert on Injured Reserve with a fractured ankle, according to the team's official Twitter account.

Goedert will miss at least three weeks, and his timeline for return extends well past the three-week minimum. Goedert's spot on the roster was filled with the signing of Hakeem Butler, who will transition to tight end.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert suffered an ankle injury during Sunday’s game against the Bengals and has been ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Zach Ertz should now see plenty of targets. Goedert went down in the first quarter and limped off the field. The Eagles are already low on weapons as DeSean Jackson also got hurt during the game and Alshon Jeffery and Jalen Raegor are already out. This leaves Ertz and Richard Rodgers at TE and John Hightower, Greg Ward, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and Deontay Burnett as the WRs.

Jalen Reagor will have to wait a bit before playing in his first NFL game.

He injured his shoulder in Sunday’s practice, and Drew Davison of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that the Eagles receiver will miss at least the opener after an MRI revealed a small tear in Reagor’s labrum.

Reagor will not require surgery, Davison adds.

Reagor could also miss Week 2 which is a big loss. The Eagles will likely roll with Jackson, Ward and Arcega-Whiteside the first two weeks. TEs Ertz and Goedert could benefit the most with Reagor out.

Earlier this month, Eagles Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz made it abundantly clear that he wants to remain in Philadelphia for the rest of his NFL days, saying that "my goal is to be like Kobe Bryant and play for one organization my entire career." Well, it looks like he may soon inch one step closer to that ultimate goal as Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports the Eagles have reengaged contract extension talks with the 29-year-old.

Ertz still has two years left on his deal and many thought Goedert would eventually take over as the Birds top TE. But it looks like the Eagles want to keep Ertz around. The TE spot was a go-to position for Carson Wentz last year when a rash of injuries to the team's WRs hit. Ertz is ranked fourth on our TE list despite Geodert also being a threat at the position. Goedert is ranked 12th, proving just how much the Eagles target the position.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert has a hairline fracture in one of his thumbs, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com. It's not a major injury according to Pelissero's source. Goedert could be back with a splint as soon as next week.

Rough times for Goedert, who was also sucker-punched by a random person this offseason. Goedert has the opportunity to thrive as the second TE on the Eagles and would be a must-start if teammate Zach Ertz were injured.

Eagles coach Doug Pederson said Zach Ertz has a rib injury that needs more tests today.

He came back for the entire second half after leaving the game in the second quarter, the tweet said. Reports from after the game made it seem like Ertz was in a lot of pain but he wanted to finish the game. Goedert had a big day with over 90 yards and a TD. He's worth picking up if on wires, even if it's a backup plan.
