Game week has finally arrived for the Cincinnati Bengals, who kick off their 2023 season Sunday on the road vs. the Cleveland Browns.
On Monday, both teams held a practice session that, while not official, did present some good news for Cincinnati.
Defensive end Joseph Ossai, who reportedly suffered a high ankle sprain in the preseason finale, was in his jersey today while working on the rehab field. Though he looks doubtful to play this week, it’s still a good sign that he’s already working on the rehab field.
It’s also a good sign that the Bengals believe Ossai will return soon enough that there’s no need to place him on injured reserve, which would mean he has to miss at least four regular-season games for the Bengals.
