As Week 8 approaches and the season reaches its halfway mark, the final injury reports are rolling in. The Cincinnati Bengals experienced a surprise setback with Tee Higgins suffering a quad injury on Friday, jeopardizing his availability for Sunday’s game. On a brighter note, the Miami Dolphins will welcome back Tua Tagovailoa, who has cleared concussion protocol, while the Washington Commanders are still evaluating Jayden Daniels’ status.
Additionally, the Dallas Cowboys will be without Micah Parsons this week, following their bye.
Here’s a summary of the key injury news from each team based on Friday’s final practice reports. Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.
**Philadelphia Eagles at Cincinnati Bengals (-2.5)**
**Eagles:** G Mekhi Becton (concussion), TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring), DT Byron Young (hamstring) OUT
**Bengals:** WR Tee Higgins (quad) QUESTIONABLE
The Eagles will be without Becton and Goedert for the second consecutive week. Tyler Steen is set to start at right guard, and Grant Calcaterra will take over at tight end. Young has been placed on injured reserve following the injury report release.
In a surprise move for the Bengals, Higgins was limited in practice on Friday after being healthy all week. His status for Sunday remains uncertain, with Andrei Iosivas likely stepping in if he cannot play. Tackle Orlando Brown (knee) and safety Geno Stone (shin) were not listed with injuries.
