Things continue to look on the upswing for the Cincinnati Bengals on the injury report front.
While the Bengals won’t be at full health by any means when they visit the New England Patriots on Christmas Eve, they will get a key player back and potentially have a few more.
Defensive end Trey Hendrickson will return, attempting to play through a broken wrist. Big names like Hayden Hurst sport questionable tags, which means they could be back, too.
