The ball skills that made Jahan Dotson a 2022 first-round pick by the Washington Commanders are showing up more in his first full training camp in Philly. Among the signs, Dotson hauled in a contested catch on Tuesday against rookie cornerback Mac McWilliams along the right sideline. There’s a growing sense that Dotson could contribute more than the 19 catches for 216 yards that he fielded on short notice last season.

“I’ve always had a lot of confidence in Jahan,” Eagles wide receiver coach Aaron Moorehead said. “We really liked him coming out (of the draft) and was super excited when Howie traded for him last year and just thought that he adds a great dimension to the offense as a third guy."

There isn't much behind Brown and Smith, of course besides Barkley, as a pass-catching threat. Goedert has been good at times, but is 30-years-old, and the Eagles haven't traditionally got a lot from their WR3 over the years. So, it's certainly possible Dotson has a bigger role, especially of Goedert starts to show some age at the TE position. Dotson isn't getting drafted in most leagues so he should be around very late in drafts if you want to take a chance.

The Eagles and TE Dallas Goedert have agreed to a reworked deal for this season, as Jeff McLane stated. The team had trade offers for Goedert during the draft. He was in the loop. Decided to remain with the team and selflessly restructured to try running it back.

As Garafolo touches on, it seemed like a draft-day trade was very much on the table, but once the smoke cleared, it seemed obvious that the vet would remain on the team for at least one more year. Philadelphia currently has seven tight ends on the roster, so expect to see a lot of those names drop off throughout the summer. Goedert should once again be considered a touchdown-dependent low-end TE1 on a great offense.

Dallas Goedert entering the last year of his deal with the Eagles. This has felt like it could go either way. Not a player they’re looking to dump but a possible tough decision on financials and what a trade might net. One of the players to watch as we get closer to the draft.

The Eagles went out to grab Bryant and Granson to add to what is now a pretty crowded tight end room, presumably in preparation for a possible Goedert trade. Though Goedert's fantasy value could possibly take a hit, it's worth pointing out that he hasn't caught more than four touchdowns since the 2019 season, and he could very easily go to a team with a higher pass rate than Philadelphia. It could end up being a net-neutral spot for the 30-year-old vet.

The Eagles placed tight end Dallas Goedert on injured reserve with a knee injury.

Goedert suffered the injury during Sunday’s win over the Ravens. Technically, Goedert can return for Week 18 against the Giants, but it’s more likely the Eagles will just hold him out until the playoffs. The Eagles are still in contention for a first-round bye, which could give Goedert an extra week of rest. The Eagles signed E.J. Jenkins from their practice squad Saturday and, earlier in the week, signed C.J. Uzomah from their practice squad. Look for the Eagles to find their future tight end in April’s draft.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is practicing once more, as he trends towards playing for the first time since Nov. 14.

I did not see Dallas Goedert (knee), Sydney Brown (knee), or Reed Blankenship (concussion). Britain Covey (neck) and Johnny Wilson (hamstring), who were limited yesterday, are present.

Calcaterra will have a great matchup against the Panthers secondary, but he can safely be left on waiver wires.

As for Smith, it looks like his hamstring is all healed up, which makes him a low-end WR2 in a game the Eagles should be able to do whatever they want on offense.

The Eagles have signed veteran TE CJ Uzomah to the active roster.

Probably not the best sign for Goedert's Week 14 availability, as this lends some veteran presence to the passing and blocking game. The Eagles TEs are an easy fade, even in a good matchup against the Panthers.

Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that evaluations of Dallas Goedert’s knee show that he avoided a major injury. More testing is coming on Monday, but the belief is that Goedert suffered a sprain.

Goedert had three catches for 35 yards and a touchdown in the 24-19 win. He missed three games earlier this year and has 38 catches for 441 yards and two touchdowns on the season, the story pointed out. The Eagles have a winnable game against the Panthers this coming week, so it may make sense to not rush Goedert back into action. The Eagles have also been without DeVonta Smith, and if that trend continues next week, Calcaterra may find himself getting some worthwhile, fantasy targets.

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.

Nick Sirianni had no update on WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring), who hasn’t practiced yet this week.

“We’ll see by the end of today.”

On QB Jalen Hurts (ankle), who was limited on Wednesday:

“He’s good to go.”

It can be a crapshoot when Smith misses time as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but if he doesn't get any practice in tomorrow, Brown and Goedert could end up getting a slight boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert in to a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.

For a second straight day, Eagles WR DeVonta Smith did not practice today due to a hamstring injury.
