Jobe and Goodrich – along with everyone else on the 53-man roster – are available to play against the Patriots for the 4:30 p.m. kickoff.

Outside linebacker Haason Reddick, a Pro Bowler in 2022, is expected to play despite undergoing thumb surgery last month and will play with his hand wrapped.

As for the Patriots, cornerback Jack Jones has been ruled out for the game because of a hamstring injury. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson is listed as questionable – also because of an illness – and remember that his backup is Eagles killer Ezekiel Elliott.

Also questionable: QB Matt Corral (not injury related), OG Mike Onwenu (ankle), WR DeVante Parker (knee), and G Cole Strange (knee).
