Charlie Jones returns to practice; Trent Brown leaves with back injury

The Cincinnati Bengals got potentially terrible news on the injury front during Thursday’s practice with the Chicago Bears, as Chris Evans and D’Ante Smith were carted off with air casts on their legs.

Adding to the infirmary report was offensive tackle Trent Brown exiting practice early with what Zack Taylor called back tightness.

That led to Cody Ford taking over at right tackle. It's safe to say the offensive tackle position is dangerously thin now with Amarius Mims also out for several weeks due to a pectoral injury and Smith potentially having a serious injury.
