Chris Canty and Domonique Foxworth talk about the Eagles' run defense. There is a time limit.
Linval Joseph is a two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle.
Dallas Goedert was placed on injured reserve by the Eagles because of a shoulder injury. According to a source, Goedert was expected to be out for extended time after he injured his shoulder.
Last season, Joseph started 14 games for the Los Angeles Clippers and posted 57 tackles, three for loss, and two quarterback hits.
He has experience as a space-eating nose tackle and was placed on injured reserve due to an ankle injury. The Eagles have struggled against the run in his absence, yielding 168 yards on the ground to the Houston Texans in Week 9 and two touchdown's in a loss to the Washington Commanders on Monday night.
When you show that a team attacks a place, we're going to see it again, and then we're going to see that again. It will be the narrative of how to beat us when we fix it. We need to own that and fix it.
One of the main options in the passing game is Goedert. He is second on the team in receiving yards and third in receiving touchdown.
He was injured early in the fourth quarter on a play that involved a controversial non-call that helped turn the tide of the game.
With the Eagles trailing by two, Hurts passed to Goedert for a first down. Linebacker Jamin Davis grabbed and pulled Goedert's face mask as he tried to tackle him, and a hit by defensive tackle John Ridgeway knocked the ball away. Ridgeway's weight was on top of Goedert as he was driven to the ground. The player returned to the game after being evaluated on the sideline.
Joseph was drafted in the second round of the 2010 NFL draft by the New York Giants and has played in the league for 12 years.
He was selected to the Pro Bowl in two of the last three years.
The Eagles activated tight end Tyree Jackson from the physically unable to perform list and opened a 21-day practice window for defensive end Janarius Robinson. Blair was added to the practice squad.
