Not spotted at Thursday's practice

Goedert (knee) isn't present for the start of practice Thursday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Goedert looks to be on his way to a second consecutive practice absence to kick off Week 4 prep. After sitting out Monday's loss to the Bears due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, Goedert is fighting an uphill battle to return Sunday against the Rams. If Goedert remains sidelined, Zach Ertz would have a chance to step up as the top pass catcher in an Eagles tight end room that was paced in snaps by Johnny Mundt on Monday.
