Eagles-Bengals Final Injury Report: Tee Higgins suddenly questionable to play [UPDATE]

The Philadelphia Eagles issued their third and remaining official harm report on Friday prematurely of their Week 8 highway sport towards the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Eagles dominated three gamers OUT: Dallas Goedert, Mekhi Becton, and Byron Younger.

Goedert is lacking his second straight sport. By not putting him on injured reserve final week, the Eagles appear to hope he’ll be again by Week 10 on the newest. With Goedert out, the Eagles may have Grant Calcaterra and Jack Stoll as their prime two tight ends. We’ll see in the event that they both activate Albert Okwuegbunam from injured reserve … or briefly elevate E.J. Jenkins or C.J. Uzomah from the follow squad … to have a 3rd tight finish for Sunday’s sport. The Eagles solely went with two final weekend.

Becton didn’t follow this week whereas within the concussion protocol. He would possibly have the ability to return in Week 9. Tyler Steen will begin at proper guard in his absence. Jack Driscoll, who was just lately promoted from the follow squad, is perhaps the present prime backup at each non-center offensive line place. If there’s an harm to Cam Jurgens, the Eagles would possibly choose to maneuver Landon Dickerson to the pivot and put Driscoll in at left guard. Driscoll has seemingly leapfrogged Nick Gates on the depth chart.

Younger, who was a wholesome scratch all season previous to someway getting damage in follow final week, might be positioned on injured reserve to open up a roster spot. Barring a number of defensive deal with accidents, Younger might be stashed away on IR for the remainder of the season. The Eagles have till 4:00 PM Jap on Saturday, October 26 to make roster strikes forward of Sunday’s sport. [UPDATE: The Eagles officially placed Young on injured reserve, as expected.]

Zack Baun was notably full go for the second day in a row and listed with out a sport standing.

Eli Ricks was full go on Friday after being restricted on Wednesday and Thursday. He’s listed with out a sport standing. However he is perhaps a wholesome scratch anyway as a seventh cornerback who doesn’t play on particular groups.

The Eagles opened Smith’s follow window on October 7. They need to both activate him to the roster by October 28 or shut him down for the season. The Eagles opened Okwuegbunam’s follow window on October 16. The Eagles would possibly need to activate him this week to have a 3rd tight finish behind Calcaterra and Stoll.

CINCINNATI BENGALS INJURY REPORT (FRIDAY)

The Bengals unexpectedly added beginning broad receiver Tee Higgins to Friday’s harm report. He’s listed as questionable after struggling a quad harm in follow. If he can’t play, the Eagles can clearly dedicate extra consideration to stopping Ja’Marr Chase.
