Twenty-three things to know about Week 13 injuries

The Eagles have one of the weakest receiving corps in the league and it looks like it could get even weaker if their top wideout doesn't play this weekend.

Jordan Matthews is questionable for Sunday's game with an ankle injury, according to the team. Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said if Matthews is unable to play against the Bengals, Nelson Agholor -- who was benched in Monday's loss to the Packers -- would be in the mix.

Also out for Philadelphia are running back Ryan Mathews (knee) and tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai (knee).
