The Eagles are at Paycor Stadium to take on the Bengals for a 1 PM clash.

As announced on Friday, tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) and right guard Mekhi Becton (concussion) are out for today's game. Both players did not practice all week.

Tyler Steen is expected to take Becton's place as he came in for him after he was injured in the Giants game last Sunday.

"It takes a lot of mental toughness to not know when your number is going to be called, but be ready," Head Coach Nick Sirianni said this week. "It speaks to Tyler and his mental toughness and his ability to prepare and prep. I admire how he played under those circumstances and he did a lot of good things to help us win that game."

Grant Calcaterra started in place of Goedert last week with Jack Stoll as the other tight end for the game. The two will be the only tight ends on the roster for today's game.

Wide receiver Ainias Smith will make his NFL debut after being activated off of the injured reserve list on Saturday.

The fifth-round pick will now be the fifth wide receiver on the Eagles' 53-man roster, bringing more speed and big-play ability to the group.

Here is the full list of inactives for the Eagles:

Mekhi Becton | G/T
Dallas Goedert | TE
Trevor Keegan | G
Tanner McKee | 3rd QB
Eli Ricks | CB

Bengals will be without star wide receiver Tee Higgins

Higgins was ruled inactive after suffering a groin injury in practice this week.

Outside of Higgins, there are no surprises for the Bengals. Tackle Orlando Brown (knee) and safety Geno Stone (shin) will both play after leaving last week's game against the Browns with injuries.

Here is the full list of inactives for the Bengals:

Daijahn Anthony | S
Tee Higgins | WR
Cedric Johnson | DE
Tanner McLachlan | TE
Jay Tufele | DT
