NFL Week 14 injury report: 8 starters miss Bengals’ Thursday practice

The Cincinnati Bengals still have a wealth of defensive starters unlikely to play Sunday versus the Chicago Bears.

On Thursday, we saw Darqueze Dennard, Adam Jones, Shawn Williams, Dre Kirkpatrick, Nick Vigil and Vontaze Burfict all miss their second-straight session. it’s possible that all of them miss Sunday, which would be devastating to the secondary and linebackers.

Also missing Thursday was Geno Atkins with a toe injury. Losing him in addition to the above-mentioned players would make this one of the worst defenses in football, even if it were just for a game or two.
