It was reported on Friday by NJ.com’s Mike Kaye that Eagles Tight End Dallas Goedert had been sucker-punched at a restaurant in South Dakota. The 25-year-old was taken to hospital but was in good health and is now at home.
On Monday Morning, the Aberdeen police department released a statement that included a significant update in the investigation (h/t Bleeding Green Nation):

A video of the attack was tweeted one day later:
It’s not only great to hear that Goedert is okay and that a man has been arrested, but also charged with a crime that could result in jail time and a hefty fine.
