Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga likely will not play Monday night vs. the Giants, sources told ESPN's Adam Caplan.
Sources told Caplan that Maualuga has a leg injury. The linebacker was not present at practice on Tuesday or Thursday. Defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said on Tuesday that Maualuga was fine and had "something to attend to" during practice. He also said his absence at Tuesday's practice was unrelated to playing time.
Maualauga's playing time has been sporadic all season and in some games he's received fewer than 10 snaps.
Guenther indicated that some of the veterans were essentially on notice after a 3-4-1 start, and he'd potentially look to get some younger players more involved.
