Are Bengals Shutting Down Two Key Starters Ahead of Monday Night Football vs Cowboys?

This could be the case...

CINCINNATI — Are the Bengals shutting down Logan Wilson? What about Orlando Brown Jr.?

Things would certainly appear to be trending that way. Now, nothing is official, but the Bengals promoted linebacker Shaka Heyward and offensive tackle Andrew Stueber from the practice squad this week.

Adding a linebacker and an offensive tackle to the 53-man roster when your star linebacker and star left tackle are both nursing knee injuries isn't just a coincidence.

It sounds like both Wilson and Brown are nursing significant injuries. Brown tried to play through the pain against the Steelers in Week 13, but didn't look like his normal self. He hadn't finished a game in nearly six weeks prior to Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh.

Meanwhile, Wilson was listed as questionable going into Week 13, but the injury appears to be significant.

There's no reason why the Bengals should push either guy. They're 4-8 and both Wilson and Brown are a big part of their future.

We'll hear from Zac Taylor on Thursday, but actions speak volumes and it sounds like the Bengals are preparing to be without Wilson and Brown.
