Bengals provide injury updates on Trent Brown, others before preseason finale

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor rolled out some key injury updates on Monday before the short turnaround to Thursday’s preseason finale against the Indianapolis Colts.

The biggest news item there was right tackle Trent Brown, who Taylor said is now “day-to-day” as result of that back soreness he experienced last week.

Taylor also said Kendric Pryor has a splint on a finger and could be limited, while veteran end Sam Hubbard will only do individual work as he slowly works back from what was originally a scary-looking injury.

There’s also the matter of backup passer Jake Browning, who has a rib injury. Taylor said the team won’t push him out into the joint practice with the Colts, so they’ll keep taking it slow with him.

But again, Brown was the biggest news. He could practice this week and the team needs it. He got activated last week right as first-rounder Amarius Mims suffered an injury, then got pulled from a practice due to the lower back issue. He’s the Day 1 starter on the right edge if Mims can’t make it back from the strained pec in time.

The Bengals also made roster moves before the interview, sending two players to injured reserve, which leaves the active roster at 86 players.
