Bengals' Burrow to Play First-Quarter in Preseason Clash with Eagles
6 Aug
Summary
- Bengals QB Burrow to play about a quarter with first-team offense
- Eagles QB Hurts and first-team offense won't play in preseason game
- Elijah Cooks continues to impress in camp, Josh Uche emerging as top edge rusher
On August 6th, 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals will visit the Philadelphia Eagles for a preseason matchup at Lincoln Financial Field. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is expected to play about a quarter with the first-team offense, while Eagles starter Jalen Hurts and the first-team offense will sit out the game.
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni explained that the team is focused on the joint practices with the Cleveland Browns next week, leading into their second preseason game. Sirianni values the work his players get during those joint sessions, so he is likely resting his starters for the Bengals game.
In other news from Eagles camp, wide receiver Elijah Cooks has continued to impress, making several highlight-reel plays. However, most of Cooks' success has come with backup quarterback Tanner McKee, and the team is eager to see how he performs with Hurts under center. Additionally, edge rusher Josh Uche has stood out more than Azeez Ojulari, potentially putting Ojulari's roster spot in jeopardy.
