This information is gone in our data source so we can't do much about it. In theory it is possible to compute the end yardline with yardline and yards_gained but it's not likely that we invest time to add it in nflfastR

I thought that might be the case. I had the same idea for calculating the end yardline, but it was actually more complicated than simply adding the yards_gained to the yardline. For example, a play on the ten yard line that gains ten yards does not have an end yardline at all because it was a touchdown. Or a kickoff that goes out of bounds automatically has an end yardline of 40. Lots of edge cases like that.

I did write a C# program that calculates it all, so I have the end yardlines for the 2023 plays. You can have it if you want, but I can't guarantee 100% accuracy.
