An important three-day stretch began for the Cincinnati Bengals today, as they held their first practice of the week with several key players battling injuries while preparing to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Good news: Tee Higgins (hamstring) and Tyler Boyd (finger) were able to get limited sessions in, suggesting both have a chance to play this week.
Bad news: Trey Hendrickson (wrist), Mike Hilton (knee) and Hayden Hurst (calf) got DNPs. Hendrickson and Hurst are already expected to miss this week. Losing Hilton too would be a brutal blow for a cornerback room that’s already dangerously thin with Tom Brady, Chris Godwin and Mike Evans on deck.
