The Bengals are set to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in week 1 with a relatively clean bill of health. Shemar Stewart picked up his knee injury during camp, as we have long known about. Although he is listed as doubtful, the fact that he hasn’t officially been ruled out yet is a good sign for his long term availability.
There was a bit of a scare when DJ Turner popped up on the injury report on Thursday, getting in a limited session. But after going again on Friday, he seems to be good to go. WR’s Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins have been managing some minor stuff since the later parts of camp. They both will be good to go, with neither one having received an official injury designation.
For the Bucs, they are likely to be without a trio of players. McMillan, who has been operating behind Egbuka and Godwin, is doubtful. Tucker and Skule are also doubtful, while Rozeboom is listed as questionable.
