Week 15 Injury Report: Bengals @ Buccaneers

Modified Image Via: All-Pro Reels (CC)

The injuries are beginning to pile up for the Bengals. Thankfully, none of the new ones are expected to be long term issues. Nevertheless, the team will need to rely a bit on the next man up policy in the next couple of weeks. Trey Hendrickson will miss time with a wrist injury he picked up last week. Joseph Ossai will likely be getting the start, and Cam Sample should see more playing time as well. Slot CB Mike Hilton is out this week, while his backup, Jalen Davis, is doubtful. 1st round rookie S Daxton Hill may have to step into that role for this week. Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd both exited last weed during the first drive. Both listed as questionable. Higgins seems likely to go. Boyd will be more of a gametime call. Pain tolerance will play a big part in that decision.

The Buccaneers will also be without a few key members of their team. Vita Vea has been a force for their DL. He has been ruled out. As well, Jamel Dean, Carl Nassib, and Genard Avery have been ruled out. Additionally, a number of key players are listed as questionable.
