The Cincinnati Bengals just can’t seem to avoid the injury bug ahead of the Week 18 season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In addition to the well-known names like Tee Higgins and Chase Brown, rookie right tackle Amarius Mims is a question mark to play against the Steelers.
Even worse, there’s a new name on the final injury report — starting cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt suffered an ankle injury in practice and is questionable to play in Pittsburgh.
In all, six players have the questionable tag:
- RB Chase Brown
- WR Tee Higgins
- WR Charlie Jones
- OT Amarius Mims
- TE Drew Sample
- CB Cam Taylor-Britt
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor has already said Sample will play and Higgins doesn’t sound like a major concern.
Suddenly trotting out Cody Ford at right tackle and needing to give a depth name like DJ Ivey serious starting reps in place of CTB, though, could cause some problems.
Still, these are 50-50 questionable tags and there is plenty of time to get right between now and Saturday night.
