The Cincinnati Bengals entered desperation mode at practice this week to help out the cornerback position.
Two of their three cornerbacks on the practice squad were placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Darius Phillips was also sidelined for the entire week with a groin injury and LeShaun Sims suffered a concussion on Thursday.
When Sims went down on Thursday, John Ross III is who they turned to.
Per NFL insider Mike Garafolo, the wide receiver agreed to practice at cornerback and on his second rep at the position, Ross injured his foot.
