Bengals Bytes (9/20): Marvin Lewis shares high praise for Luke Kuechly

Gio leads battered backs
In the Bengals’ 34-23 victory over the Ravens, Joe Mixon began the running backs’ tale of woe when he slightly tore a knee meniscus and is out for an unspecified amount of time after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. Then in the next practice on Monday Tra Carson pulled his hamstring and while he may return to the Bengals when he gets healthy in a month or so, the Bengals had to waive him injured to make room for somebody that can play Sunday (1 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Channel 12) if needed in Carolina.
