The Cincinnati Bengals will have Pro Bowl cornerback Chidobe Awuzie when they take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 1.
During his Monday press conference, head coach Zac Taylor confirmed that Awuzie has been fully cleared and will play this week.
Sunday will be a full-circle moment for Awuzie, who tore his ACL on the field of First Energy Stadium on October 31st last year. Since then, Awuzie has worked tirelessly to make sure he’s back on the field for the Week 1 opener.
Of course, the Bengals took a very cautious approach in getting Awuzie back up to game speed.
