After a much needed bye week, the Cincinnati Bengals are back practicing to kickoff the second half of the season.
Despite the news of Akeem Davis-Gaither needing surgery for his injured foot, the Bengals remain relatively healthy in the heart of the season. Only one player, rookie defensive tackle Tyler Shelvin, did not practice on Wednesday. Shelvin is dealing with an apparent knee injury.
Per usual, Trey Hopkins (knee) got some rest in the form of a limited practice, as did Auden Tate (thigh), who hasn’t played since Week 7.
As far as players on the COVID list, Chidobe Awuzie has since been activated and the team expects Markus Bailey to be activated Thursday.
