Goedert is expected to have surgery as soon as Monday to address a fractured right forearm and is likely facing a four-week recovery timeline, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The tight end suffered the injury late in the second half of Sunday's 28-23 win over the Cowboys and finished the game with three receptions for 50 yards on four targets. Though Goedert is scheduled to undergo an MRI early Monday before a final determination is made on surgery, the expectation is that he'll go under the knife later in the day. The Eagles are on bye in Week 10, so if the estimated four-week recovery timeline proves to be accurate, Goedert could avoid injured reserve if the team is optimistic he'll miss only three games rather than four. Once the team returns from its bye, the Eagles will presumably reassess Goedert and decide if he needs to placed on IR prior to a Nov. 20 matchup with Kansas City. Jack Stoll has been serving as the team's No. 2 tight end this season, but the Eagles could also lean more on Albert Okwuegbunam in Goedert's absence when they want more of a pass-catching threat on the field.
