The Bengals will be taking on Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football. While the injury bug has been kind to them through three weeks, there will be a few more hardships this week due to injuries.
Bengals:
– Did not participate in practice:
CB, Chidobe Awuzie (Groin)
S, Jessie Bates (Neck)
WR, Tee Higgins (Shoulder)
G, Xavier Su’a-Filo (Knee)
– Full participation in practice:
LB, Markus Bailey (Hamstring)
CB, Darius Phillips (Hand)
CB, Trae Waynes (Hamstring)
OT, Riley Reiff (Ankle)
– OUT
WR, Tee Higgins (Shoulder)
S, Jessie Bates (Neck)
– Doubtful
CB, Chidobe Awuzie (Groin)
G, Xavier Su’a-Filo (Knee)
The Bengals will be without some key players against the Jags. WR Tee Higgins will miss his second straight game with a shoulder injury. Meanwhile, Jessie Bates will miss his first game with the Bengans. It is a neck injury that is keeping him out. It will be important for the Bengals DL to put up some pressure, which will help mitigate the loss of Bates.
Both Su’a-Filo and Awuzie were listed as doubtful and have since been ruled out, as well. Trae Waynes will make his Bengals debut.

K, Josh Lambo (Not Injury Related – Personal)
– Limited participation in practice:

CB, Tre Herndon (Knee)
OT, Cam Robinson (Shoulder)
G, Andrew Norwell (Ankle)

K, Josh Lambo (Not Injury Related – Personal)
