Team news: Philadelphia Eagles | Page 48

Updating an earlier post, Eagles TE Dallas Goedert will now miss the rest of the preseason while recovering from a calf injury suffered in Thursday's preseason opener against the Titans, as reported by Rueben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

The Eagles are likely simply being extra cautious with their young tight end and just want him to be fully healthy for the regular-season opener against the Redskins. Goedert caught three passes for 50 yards against the Titans and showed a glimpse of being much more implemented in the offense this season. Goedert is currently our No. 23 tight end in PPR formats with a 14th-round ADP, still making him an excellent late-round streaming target.

Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert is dealing with a calf injury and is listed as week-to-week, per ESPN's Tim McManus.

This seems more precautionary than anything, as Goedert spoke to reporters Saturday and showed no signs of any significant issues. He may sit out next week's preseason game against the Jaguars, but he could be back for the regular-season tuneup in two weeks against the Ravens. Continue drafting Goedert in the later rounds with confidence as he should be absolutely fine for Week 1 against the Redskins.

A.J. Brown and Derrick Henry both missed a third straight day of practice for the Titans.

Henry is dealing with a lower leg injury but the team isn't concerned about him for the long haul. Brown, meanwhile, has an undisclosed injury.

Tight end Delanie Walker didn’t practice after two strong days to start training camp.

Running back Derrick Henry and wide receiver A.J. Brown missed their second straight day of practice.

Walker, who missed nearly all of last season with an ankle injury, was a bit shaken up after making a diving catch on Saturday, but he looked OK afterward, the story said. The Titans are likely just being cautious with Walker. Coach Mike Vrabel called Henry and Brown day-to-day on Friday, though on Sunday he said Henry had no timetable and said he had a lower-leg injury.

John Ross sat out the Bengals first practice of training camp with hamstring tightness.

Head coach Zac Taylor said that the team is not worried about a long-term absence for Ross and Geoff Hobson of the team’s website reports that he may not return to the field for a week or so.

#Eagles TE coach Justin Peelle said Dallas Goedert’s development has been “phenomenal.” Admitted that it could allow Zach Ertz to move around more.

Despite sitting behind Zach Ertz on the TE depth chart, Goedert managed to finish as TE20 in PPR points last season, which is impressive for a rookie in the NFL. He was fifth in Philadelphia's offense in targets in 2018, just two balls behind WR Golden Tate. While the rookie may not be set up for a TE1 season as long as Ertz is healthy, Goedert makes for a great later-round grab in best-ball leagues and could prove to be a solid streamer if his positive development continues throughout the preseason.

Awards season has begun for Saquon Barkley, and he's picked up his first honor.

The Giants' sensational running back has been named Offensive Rookie of the Year by the Pro Football Writers Association. Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield was voted Rookie of the Year by the PFWA, likely signaling more split votes coming for the players who were selected 1-2 in the NFL Draft back in April.

It could be just the beginning of the awards for Barkley, who led the NFL with 2,028 scrimmage yards and joined Eric Dickerson and Edgerin James as the only rookies with at least 2,000 scrimmage yards. Barkley and Mayfield are also finalists for the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year – voted on by the fans – and remain the favorites to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award given out by the league on the eve of Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta next month during its NFL Honors program.
