Eddie Goldman: Everything you need to know

The Commanders placed Goldman (concussion) on injured reserve Monday. Goldman entered the league's concussion protocol following the Commanders' Week 15 loss to the Giants. That marked the second time he was diagnosed with a concussion this season, and his placement on injured reserve means he will not be available for the Commanders' final two games of the regular season. The veteran defensive tackle will end the 2025 regular season with 26 tackles (10 solo) across 13 games, and he will enter the offseason as a free agent.

Goldman (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Eagles, Ben Selby of the Commanders' official site reports. Goldman suffered a concussion in last Sunday's win over the Giants and was unable to practice all week. The defensive tackle's absence, combined with Jer'Zhan Newton's (illness) questionable status, leaves Sheldon Day as the only surefire depth option at the position for Saturday's contest.

Goldman (concussion) was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports. Goldman suffered a concussion in Sunday's win over the Giants and appears to still be having symptoms. In order for him to suit up against the Eagles on Saturday, he'll need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and presumably return to practice in some capacity. If Goldman can't play in Week 16, Jer'Zhan Newton is among those who could see an uptick in defensive snaps.
