Philly Leader

The Philadelphia Eagles began their practice week without two key offensive starters. Right guard Mekhi Becton, who suffered a concussion, and tight end Dallas Goedert, dealing with a hamstring injury, did not participate in Wednesday's session. Becton's injury occurred during the first quarter of last Sunday's victory over the Giants, leading to Tyler Steen taking his place. Goedert sustained his injury against the Browns two weeks prior and was absent from the game against the Giants.

Linebacker Zack Baun also missed practice due to a shoulder injury he incurred in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. Defensive tackle Byron Young was sidelined with a hamstring issue; he has yet to play for the Eagles since being claimed off waivers earlier this season.

Cornerback Eli Ricks returned as a limited participant after missing Sunday's game with a groin injury sustained during practice last week. Several veteran players were rested on Wednesday, including running back Saquon Barkley, defensive end Brandon Graham, cornerback Darius Slay, and outside linebacker Josh Sweat.

Tight end Albert Okwuegbunam and wide receiver Ainias Smith participated fully in practice despite being on Injured Reserve; both are designated for return.

On the Cincinnati Bengals' side, quarterback Joe Burrow remains on their injury report due to a right wrist issue but continues as a full participant. The main concern is left tackle Orlando Brown's status following his knee injury sustained during Sunday's win over the Browns. He was limited in practice on Wednesday.

Starting safety Geno Stone missed practice because of a shin injury from last week's game against Cleveland. Meanwhile, defensive tackle Kris Jenkins fully participated despite having a thumb injury.

Pass rusher Trey Hendrickson did not attend Wednesday's session for personal reasons. Hendrickson is notable for being tied fourth in NFL sacks this season and maintaining at least five sacks along with 15 QB hits so far.
