Eagles top offensive star could miss Week 2 vs. Chiefs image

The Philadelphia Eagles are getting set for a Super Bowl rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2. And while the Eagles handedly defeated the Chiefs back in February, they could be without one of their top offensive stars on Sunday.

Tight end Dallas Goedert continues to deal with a knee injury, and didn't practice on Thursday.

"Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert was not at practice for the second straight day with a knee injury," Dave Zangaro reports. "His status for Sunday’s game in Kansas City is now very much in question. Goedert, 30, not only played in the season-opening win over the Cowboys, but he also led the Eagles with 7 catches on 7 targets that went for 44 yards. Two of his catches went for first downs. If Goedert can’t play against the Chiefs, the Eagles’ top tight ends would by Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson. They also have E.J. Jenkins and Cameron Latu on the practice squad eligible for elevations."

Goedert had two catches for 27 yards in the Super Bowl.
