The Bengals have a few more names on this week’s injury report than last week, however, they seem to be pretty healthy, overall. Higgins practiced fully today, and should have a good shot at suiting up, as he goes through the final stages of the concussion protocol. Josh Tupou and Devin Asiasi are also listed as questionable, while the rest are good to go.
It is a different story for the Cowboys, who are already depleted, only one game into the season. They will be without starting QB Dak Prescott, who recently underwent surgery on his right thumb. Michael Gallup made a push to play, but ultimately wasn’t quite ready, as he has been ruled out. Basham, McGovern, and Kearse have also been ruled out, making that the case for all five listed on the Cowboys’ injury report. With their OL in shambles, starting QB out, and WR2 not ready to make his return, the Bengals will have a great opportunity to take advantage.
