The Eagles will only have three healthy wide receivers on their 53-man roster with Reagor sideline: John Hightower, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, and Greg Ward.

DeSean Jackson (hamstring) was injured in Week 3  and could miss the Sunday night matchup while Alshon Jeffery (foot) returned to practice last week but looks to be another week away.

The Eagles protected Deontay Burnett,  while still having Travis Fulgham and Marcus Green on the practice squad.  Burnett was active for the Week 3 tie with the Bengals and caught three passes for 19 yards. Burnett and Fulgham could be elevated on Saturday if Watkins doesn’t play.
