Dallas Goedert | Eagles TE
Dallas Goedert has tested positive for COVID-19, according to NFL Network.
About a dozen players for the Eagles have tested positive, including other key players such as Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox. However, there is a decent chance Philly rests their starters this week after making the playoffs based on Sunday’s results, so the timing really couldn’t have worked out any better in terms of players getting the virus before the postseason (i.e. everyone that tested positive will now be clear through the Super Bowl once they return). If Goedert ends up not playing this week for one reason or another, Tyree Jackson can be a decent flier for anyone still playing in Week 18.

Michael Gallup | Commanders WR
Michael Gallup is out for the season with a torn ACL.
This was the fear after Gallup left Week 17 earlier today and was very quickly ruled out due to a knee injury. At least Gallup appeared to be in good spirits while being taken to the locker room, but this is a very tough break for a player that is going to hit free agency this spring. Gallup’s 2021 season ends with 35 receptions for 446 yards and two touchdowns in nine games. We wish Gallup the best of luck on his recovery.
Michael Gallup | Commanders WR
Michael Gallup suffers apparent knee injury.
Gallup had a fantastic spinning back-shoulder touchdown catch against the Cardinals, but he was injured on the play, and it appears to be a knee issue. The big-play threat had to be helped to the sideline, but hopefully this isn’t quite as serious as it looks like it might be, especially because he’s set to become a free agent this offseason. We’ll update you if anything changes, but expect him to be out for the rest of Week 17. Before leaving, Gallup had three receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown.
Drew Lock | Seahawks QB
Drew Lock (right shoulder) has returned for the Broncos.
Lock missed some time while getting checked out in the locker room, but he returned in the second quarter and promptly launched a deep ball, so he appears to be OK despite suffering the right shoulder injury earlier.
MyCole Pruitt | Steelers TE
MyCole Pruitt has a fractured and dislocated ankle, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Pruitt went down with a gruesome injury, and he’s certainly done for the season. Tennessee is fortunate to be strong at tight end as they head into the postseason following Week 18.
