The Cincinnati Bengals are across the pond in Spain today for their Week 9 international game against the Atlanta Falcons. Sitting at 5-2, the Bengals are poised for a run in the division, and they don’t want to drop a winnable game before they host the Steelers in Week 10.
Unfortunately for the Bengals, they are dealing with some injuries. They didn’t actually practice on Wednesday, but they released a projection of who I wish practicing if they did.
Cornerback DJ Turner (heel), safety Kyle Dugger (quadricep), and edge rusher Cedric Johnson (ankle/foot) are all listed as DNP as they deal with injuries suffered against the Titans.
Jonathan Allen is listed as DNP, but that’s for a veteran day off. The only other name on the injury report is Jordan Battle, who would have been limited had the Bengals practiced, with a hamstring injury.
The Falcons had a walkthrough on Wednesday. They have a lot of names on the injury report, but most of the guys on the roster have a limited role in practice.
Defensive back Billy Bowman (hamstring), wide receiver Beaux Collins, defensive end James Pearce Jr. and tackle Cameron Williams practiced in full.
Linebackers Yasir Abdullah (hamstring), Divine Deablo (forearm) and running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) was limited, while wide receiver Zachariah Branch (hamstring) did not practice.
The Bengals and Falcons take the field on Sunday morning (at least for us in the States). Hopefully they will be healthier on Sunday than on Wednesday.
