De Goey was subbed out of the game after copping an accidental hip to the face from Eagles midfielder Tim Kelly in the first quarter.
Blood streamed out of De Goey’s nose as he was assisted off the ground, with the extent of the facial injuries yet to be revealed.
Howe appears set for a lengthy stint on the sidelines after injuring his right hamstring in a marking contest during the second term.
The 30-year-old immediately grabbed on the upper part of his right hamstring after landing, and he could barely bend his leg as he was helped off the ground.
Howe missed almost all of last season with a serious knee injury, and his latest setback is a massive blow to the Magpies.
Earlier this week, star Magpies midfielder Taylor Adams was ruled out for up to 10 weeks with a serious knee injury.
Forward Jamie Elliott (leg) is listed as being 10-12 weeks away from returning.
