CINCINNATI — The Bengals could be shorthanded on Thursday night against the Jaguars. 

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.

Chidobe Awuzie (groin) was dressed for practice, but didn't participate. Tee Higgins (shoulder) was also out. 

Right tackle Riley Reiff (ankle) was a limited participant on Tuesday. It's a good sign for the veteran, who hurt his ankle in the second half against the Steelers. He returned to the game. If he's unable to play, Isaiah Prince would get the start at right tackle. 

Higgins was dealing with some soreness on Monday following an extensive pregame workout in Pittsburgh. The Bengals may give him another week to get closer to 100%.

The good news is cornerback Trae Waynes (hamstring) was a full participant and is expected to make his Bengals debut on Thursday. 

The Bengals will need all the help in the secondary they can get, especially if Bates is out.

Check out the Bengals' official injury report below.
