The Cincinnati Bengals appear to have lost offensive lineman D’Ante Smith for the 2024 season.
According to ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler, Smith suffered what’s believed to be a patellar tendon injury.
The injury happened in Thursday’s rain-filled joint practice with the Chicago Bears. Smith had to be carted out of practice while wearing an air cast on the injured leg, then was later seen walking on crutches.
