The Bengals were without star DE Trey Hendrickson in last week’s win over the Steelers. He is listed as questionable for week 8, but they are hopeful that he’ll be able to go. Meanwhile, fellow DE Cedric Johnson has been designated for return off of IR, where he has been since the start of the season. Johnson is also questionable, and if he returns, could add a little as a rotational pass rusher.
Matt Lee, Cam Sample, and Marco Wilson, all depth guys, are listed as doubtful for Sunday’s matchup against the Jets. With Wilson out, it should allow Cam Taylor-Britt to get back into the lineup, even if just as a depth/special teams guy.
The Jets were expected to start Tyrod Taylor at QB over Justin Fields this week. However, Taylor is now listed as questionable after picking up a knee injury. His three limited sessions would suggest that he should be good to go, but we won’t know for sure until the inactives are announced before the game.
Star players Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner are both out for the Jets. These injuries are big blows to both sides of the ball for them. Cam Jones, Kene Nwangwu, Stone Smartt, and Jay Tufele are also out.
