The Cincinnati Bengals avoided some notable injury issues this week before hosting the Cleveland Browns in Week 16.
There, the Bengals had Joe Burrow on the injury report and Tee Higgins was back on the list, too. But both were cleared by the end of the week.
After, the full inactives list the Bengals issued for Sunday’s game:
- QB Logan Woodside (3rd QB)
- WR Charlie Jones (groin)
- OL Orlando Brown Jr. (fibula)
- TE Tanner Hudson (knee)
- DE Sam Hubbard (knee)
- DL Sheldon Rankins (illness)
Orlando Brown is the biggest name on the list again, leaving a backup at left tackle in front of Burrow. Hubbard was speculated as out for the season, yet hasn’t gone to injured reserve. Rankins continues to miss games due to an illness, leaving rookies like Kris Jenkins Jr. in the middle of the defense.
