The injuries continue to pile up for the Bengals. Big names like DJ Reader and Ja’Marr Chase are still out. Meanwhile, Chidobe Awuzie has been lost for the year with a torn ACL that he picked up on Monday, and Mike Hilton has been ruled out for Sunday’s game. The secondary will be thin, though Eli Apple will return from injury. He’ll likely start with Cam Taylor-Britt, while Jalen Davis replaces Hilton in the slot.
Chuba Hubbard, Rashard Higgins, and Justin Burris have all been ruled out for the Panthers. Baker Mayfield is still out and Sam Darnold is not yet ready to make his return. PJ Walker will again start at QB for Carolina.
