The Philadelphia Eagles face significant challenges ahead of their matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, as they will be without key players Dallas Goedert and Mekhi Becton due to injuries. Goedert's absence, stemming from a hamstring issue, follows his injury during the Week 6 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Meanwhile, Becton is in concussion protocol after a brief appearance against the New York Giants.

Additionally, reserve defensive tackle Byron Young has been placed on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games. The Eagles' roster currently stands at 52 players, with rookie receiver Ainias Smith likely to fill the 53rd spot if activated from IR. Tight end Albert Okwuegbunam may also be considered for activation, given the team's need for depth at the position.
