Bengals Injuries: Updates on Jessie Bates, Tee Higgins, Riley Reiff and Others
CINCINNATI — The Bengals could be shorthanded on Thursday when they host the Jaguars at Paul Brown Stadium.
Star safety Jessie Bates didn't practice on Tuesday. The 24-year-old is dealing with a neck injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Steelers.
Right tackle Riley Reiff (ankle) was limited. Wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) and Chidobe Awuzie (groin) were both out, although Awuzie was dressed for practice.
Higgins was dealing with some soreness on Monday following an extension pregame workout in Pittsburgh. The Bengals may give him another week to get close to 100%.
The good news is Trae Waynes (hamstring) practiced and could make his debut on Thursday night.
The Bengals will need all the help in the secondary they can get, especially if Bates is out.
Cincinnati's official game status report will be released on Wednesday afternoon, which should give everyone a clearer picture of the Bengals' injuries.
