Cincinnati Bengals defeat Philadelphia Eagles to finish perfect preseason
The Cincinnati Bengals concluded a perfect preseason with a 30-13 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Veteran quarterback Josh Johnson led the Bengals' offense with 156 passing yards in the first half, while running backs Kentrel Bullock and Jamal Haynes both scored touchdowns to help secure the win.
For the Eagles, who finished the preseason 0-3, Andy Dalton completed 12 of 19 passes for 104 yards and a touchdown. The game served as a final evaluation for players competing for roster spots ahead of the August 30 deadline to trim squads to 53 players.
In unrelated NFL news, the Chicago Bears are managing several injuries during their training camp and joint practices with the Tennessee Titans. Right tackle Darnell Wright is expected to participate despite an elbow issue, but defensive end Austin Booker is considered week-to-week with a groin injury, and defensive tackle Gervon Dexter did not travel to Nashville due to a hamstring injury.
