The story so far
Practice drills on Tuesday were cut for the Bengals' two leading receivers, with reports noting a reduced load after a knee issue surfaced. The limitation was confirmed by multiple outlets, including NBC Sports and FOX19 Cincinnati, which observed the duo absent from standard practice routines. The underlying issue appears to be a knee injury affecting one of the receivers, as detailed by NFL.com and ESPN, which cited a limited practice due to the ailment.
Coach Zac Taylor, quoted by ESPN, affirmed that despite the constraint the pair should be ready for the opener against the Buccaneers. Sports Illustrated and the official Bengals site echoed the optimism, highlighting the team's focus on a strong start. Details on the injury’s severity and the exact timeline for full participation remain sparse.
The uncertainty leaves the Bengals' Week 1 lineup open, with fans awaiting a definitive update before kickoff.
