Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Two grabs in SB LIX victory
Goedert secured both targets for 27 yards in the Eagles' 40-22 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.
The talented tight end helped ignite the Eagles' first touchdown drive with a 20-yard reception on the second play of the possession, and he subsequently drew an unnecessary roughness penalty on the same drive when he took a hit to the head from the Chiefs' Trent McDuffie on a third-down incompletion. Goedert would go on to play a minor role the rest of the way, but by recording a second catch, he finished with multiple receptions in each of Philadelphia's four postseason victories. When healthy, Goedert once again was a key complementary target for Jalen Hurts during the regular season and postseason, but he's slated to head into the final year of his contract in 2025 unless an extension is reached or Philadelphia opts to exercise a potential out that would result in a dead cap hit of just over $11 million.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Mild output in SBLIX loss
Kelce corralled four of six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 40-22 Super Bowl loss to the Eagles.
Kelce failed to stand out in the box score as Philadelphia keyed in its defensive focus on the future Hall of Famer. The 34-year-old appeared to have lost a step in 2024 after posting pedestrian numbers -- by his own gaudy standards -- in 16 regular-season contests (97-823-3). Still under contract through the 2026 season, Kelce will attempt to bounce back after experiencing declines in both yardage and touchdowns scored in consecutive seasons in his 12th year as a pro.

C.J. Uzomah TE | PHI
Eagles' C.J. Uzomah: Won't play in Super Bowl LIX
The Eagles did not activate Uzomah (abdomen) from injured reserve, and he will not play in Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs on Sunday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Uzomah was a full participant in practice all week, but he will observe Sunday's game from the sidelines. The veteran tight end was signed to the Eagles' practice squad in early October before being signed to the active roster Dec. 4. Uzomah suffered an abdominal injury in Week 17 against the Cowboys, which was severe enough for him to be placed on IR. He did not record a target across the seven regular-season games he played in 2024.

Eagles' C.J. Uzomah: Questionable for Super Bowl
Uzomah (abdomen), who remains on IR, practiced in full Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.
Uzomah continues to practice in full, a sign that he's healthy enough to contribute during the Super Bowl, but the Eagles will need to officially activate the veteran tight end to the 53-man roster by Saturday's deadline in order for him to compete versus Kansas City. If Uzomah is activated in time to suit up Sunday, he'll slot in behind Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra on the positional depth chart.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Full practice Wednesday
Goedert (ankle) practiced fully Wednesday.
Goedert didn't take part in drills during the first week of Super Bowl prep due to an ankle injury, but the Eagles didn't hand him a designation on last Friday's practice report, indicating that there was little concern about his availability for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs. Indeed, with an uncapped session under his belt to begin this week, he's set to serve as Philadelphia's top tight end in the Super Bowl.

C.J. Uzomah TE | PHI
Eagles' C.J. Uzomah: Turns in full practice
Uzomah (abdomen) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's injury report.
Uzomah suffered an abdominal injury during the Eagles' Week 17 win over the Cowboys. The veteran tight end was moved to injured reserve thereafter, resulting in him missing the regular-season finale as well as Philadelphia's first three playoff contests. Uzomah's ability to practice in full Wednesday is a sign that he is near full health, and he could be activated from IR ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl LIX clash with Kansas City.

Nick Muse TE | LAR
Nick Muse: Rejoins Philly's practice squad
The Eagles signed Muse to their practice squad Saturday.
Muse was cut from Philadelphia's practice squad Thursday, but he has rejoined the organization two days later. Running back Lew Nichols was added to the practice squad upon Muse's removal Thursday, but the two have swapped places again, with Nichols getting cut Saturday. Muse spent most of 2024 in Minnesota's organization, playing in four regular-season games without recording any offensive stats before the Eagles snapped him up for tight end depth Jan. 22.

Eagles' C.J. Uzomah: Questionable for Super Bowl
Uzomah (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9 against the Chiefs.
Uzomah remains on injured reserve and has been out since Jan. 1 after being injured in Week 17. Uzomah played 132 offensive snaps during the regular season but didn't draw a single target in the passing game. He'll get another chance to practice next week ahead of the Super Bowl.

Dallas Goedert TE | PHI
Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Sidesteps injury designation
Goedert (rest/ankle) doesn't have a designation for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9 versus the Chiefs.
Goedert is dealing with an ankle injury for a second straight week, as he was held out of all drills during the first week of Super Bowl prep. As the situation currently stands, he doesn't appear to be in danger of missing the final game of the campaign. Considering his recent practice regimens, though, Goedert may have some limitations once the Eagles arrive in New Orleans next week, meaning his status will continue to be monitored to get a sense of his level of health.

Eagles' Dallas Goedert: DNP on Thursday
Goedert (rest/ankle) didn't practice Thursday.
For a second week in a row, Goedert has been listed as a non-participant on the first two Eagles injury reports due to an ankle issue. Last week, he was able to cap it with a full session and enter the weekend without a designation for the NFC Championship Game, when he handled an 82 percent snap share en route to seven catches (on eight targets) for 85 yards in a 55-23 win against the Commanders. With more than a week to prepare for a Super Bowl matchup with the Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 9, Goedert has plenty of time to prove the health of his ankle in advance of that contest.
