The Bengals were beaten up badly in the injury department last week, as they missed guys like Trey Hendrickson, Mike Hilton, and Jalen Davis, among others. Sam Hubbard’s name then got piled on, as he left part-way through the game with a calf injury. He will miss Saturday’s game against the Patriots. The good news is that Trey Hendrickson is expected to return. He isn’t fully recovered from his broken wrist, but it is something he’ll play through. Mike Hilton should also return, while Jalen Davis is a possibility.
The Patriots will also be without some big names. DeVante Parker, arguably their top wideout, will be out with a concussion. CB Jalen Mills will miss with a groin injury. The Patriots will also be without their long snapper. Joe Cardona will be sidelined with an ankle injury. This is territory the Bengals are also familiar with, as Clark Harris has been out since week 1.
