Head coach Doug Pederson gave a quick update on the injury front during his Friday morning press conference, listing the statuses of running back Ryan Mathews (knee), tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai (knee), Jordan Matthews (ankle) and Marcus Smith (shoulder) for this Sunday’s game in Cincinnati.
"Ryan Mathews, he's doing better. Actually was able to do some more running and some change-of-direction stuff, but we’re going to keep him out of this football game," Pederson said. "Then Big V as well will be ruled out for this week. Jordan Matthew is questionable and then Marcus Smith, with his shoulder from last week, is okay.
