The Eagles welcomed Dallas Goedert back to practice Saturday, a welcome development for their offense ahead of Monday night’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

According to The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane, Goedert returned after missing Thursday’s and Friday’s sessions with a knee injury. Wide receivers DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) remained absent, along with outside linebackers Jonathan Greenard (ankle) and Nolan Smith (concussion). Goedert’s return gives Philadelphia reason to be optimistic, though his participation level and game designation were not immediately available. The veteran tight end caught six passes for 61 yards in last week’s 25-14 loss to Carolina, providing an important target during Tanner McKee’s first start of the season.

Continued absences at wide receiver raise significant questions about McKee’s supporting cast. DeVonta Smith finished with seven catches for 75 yards and a touchdown against the Panthers. Wicks has contributed 19 receptions for 284 yards and a touchdown through six games. Philadelphia could need larger contributions from its remaining receivers if either player cannot face Dallas.

The defensive concerns are substantial, too. Greenard was listed as limited Thursday before missing Friday’s practice, and his absence Saturday leaves his availability uncertain. Nolan Smith has remained sidelined while working through the concussion protocol after leaving the Carolina game.

Philadelphia entered the weekend with Saquon Barkley and Landon Dickerson listed as limited Friday, adding further uncertainty to an offense attempting to end a four-game losing streak.

Saturday’s final injury report will clarify Goedert’s participation and provide game designations for Monday’s divisional matchup.
