Officially out Thursday
Goedert (illness) won't be available for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers after he wasn't reinstated from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to the 4 p.m. ET deadline for the Eagles to make Week 6 roster moves, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
As expected, Goedert wasn't able to clear all COVID-19-related health and safety protocols on a short week after it was revealed Tuesday he tested positive for the virus. Since he's fully vaccinated, Goedert will be eligible for reinstatement as soon as he's asymptomatic and submits two negative tests at least 24 hours apart. With Goedert out for the Week 6 matchup, Zach Ertz could be in store for his heaviest snap share of the season as the Eagles' clear top tight end.
