The Cincinnati Bengals have some notable injuries going into the Week 10 game against the Houston Texans.
But those Texans…they can say they’re dealing with more.
Wednesday, the Texans sent out the usual first injury report of the week and listed 23 players. That’s 23 out of a 53-man roster, folks.
And even the “well, technically!” aspect of it is wild. Of the 23 players listed, 11 didn’t practice and seven were limited, meaning 18 are really dealing with injuries.
Notables include pass-rusher Will Anderson Jr. and a host of defensive backs, including Steven Nelson and Derek Stingley Jr. — a notable development given the weapons the Bengals bring to the table.

Then again, the Bengals have their own problems considering Ja’Marr Chase’s injury status remains an unknown and Tee Higgins was a surprise addition to the injury report with a new issue.
