Tee Higgins Injury Report: As Week 8 of the NFL season approaches, injury concerns are mounting for key players across the league. The Philadelphia Eagles have announced that tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring), offensive guard Mekhi Becton (concussion), and defensive tackle Byron Young (hamstring) have all been ruled out for their upcoming road game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Goedert’s absence marks his second consecutive game, raising questions about his return, but the Eagles remain optimistic he could be back by Week 10.

In a surprising turn of events, Bengals’ wide receiver Tee Higgins was added to the injury report on Friday with a quad issue, leaving his status for Sunday’s game in doubt. Higgins had been a reliable target alongside Ja’Marr Chase, and his potential absence could significantly impact the Bengals’ offense. If Higgins cannot play, rookie Andrei Iosivas is poised to step in as his replacement.

Eagles fans will be watching closely as the team works to fill the gaps left by their injured players. With Goedert sidelined, Grant Calcaterra is expected to take the lead at tight end, while Tyler Steen will fill in for Becton at right guard. Meanwhile, the Bengals are hopeful that starting left tackle Orlando Brown and safety Geno Stone can play despite lingering injuries, but they will be closely monitored leading up to kickoff.

The Eagles and Bengals clash this Sunday, with the Eagles looking to maintain their momentum against a Bengals team that is also dealing with injury setbacks. As teams navigate these mid-season hurdles, the outcomes of these injury reports could shape the landscape of the playoff race.
