The Bengals enter their week 4 matchup against the Titans coming off a win on Monday Night Football. From an injury standpoint, the bad news is that Charlie Jones will miss at least 4 games after being placed on IR with a thumb injury. As well, Irv Smith will miss a second straight game. The good news is that Joe Burrow’s calf injury seems to be trending in the right direction. After the decision to play him came right down to the wire last week, this week, he did not receive a designation after practicing fully. While I’m sure he is not yet at 100% health, the fact that he avoided any setbacks is encouraging.
The Titans, meanwhile, are dealing with a string of injuries that will have them concerned. Among others, starters Treylon Burks and Peter Skoronski have both been ruled out.
