Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert was “sucker-punched” while out to dinner with his family at a South Dakota restaurant on Friday night, according to NJ.com.
The punch reportedly came out of nowhere unprovoked. It’s not clear who hit Goedert or why.
The Eagles were aware of the incident, per NJ.com, but declined to comment.
Goedert is preparing to enter his third season with the Eagles this fall. The Britton, South Dakota, native and former South Dakota State standout racked up 607 yards and five touchdowns on 58 receptions for Philadelphia last fall.
