Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. left Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks with a groin injury.
Onlookers first noticed Brown missing from the game in the fourth quarter because it was Cody Ford out there playing left tackle next to Cordell Volson.
The Bengals later reported the groin injury, listing Brown as questionable to return.
Brown was the big-ticket addition to the offensive line this past offseason, so his absence is huge. Ford, who has experience at tackle and guard, came in because D’Ante Smith was one of the game-day inactives.
The Bengals have a bye next week, so the hope will have to be that Brown can be ready for the week after that.
