Eagles Injuries: Starters Goedert, Rodgers on Track to Play in Brazil

Injury Updates for Eagles Tight End Goedert and Safety Rodgers

The Philadelphia Eagles received positive news on the injury front this week, as starting tight end Dallas Goedert and starting safety Marcus Epps are both on track to play in Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Goedert has been dealing with a shoulder injury, while Epps has been nursing a hamstring injury. Both players were limited in practice on Wednesday, but they were able to participate fully on Thursday and Friday. Goedert is a key part of the Eagles' offense, and his return would be a big boost. He is one of quarterback Jalen Hurts' favorite targets, and he has been a reliable pass-catcher throughout his career. In 2022, Goedert had 55 receptions for 739 yards and three touchdowns. Epps is also an important piece of the Eagles' defense. He is a versatile player who can play both safety and cornerback. Epps has started all 16 games for the Eagles this season, and he has recorded 67 tackles, two interceptions, and one forced fumble. The Eagles are currently 13-3 and in first place in the NFC East. They are looking to clinch the division title and earn a first-round bye in the playoffs. Having Goedert and Epps back in the lineup would give them a major boost as they look to make a deep playoff run.

Goedert's Injury History

Goedert has had a history of injury problems throughout his career. He missed four games in 2022 with a hamstring injury, and he also missed two games in 2021 with an ankle injury. However, Goedert has been healthy for most of the 2023 season, and he is on track to play in all 17 games.

Epps' Injury History

Epps has been relatively healthy throughout his career. He has missed only one game in his four seasons with the Eagles. However, Epps did miss some time in training camp this year with a hamstring injury. He is now fully healthy and is on track to play in all 17 games this season.

The Eagles' Outlook for the Remainder of the Season

The Eagles are one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl this year. They have a talented roster and a lot of experience. The return of Goedert and Epps would make them even more dangerous. The Eagles have a tough schedule remaining, but they are confident that they can make a deep playoff run.
