The Cincinnati Bengals face a must-win game in Week 14 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Fresh off being revived with a glimmer of hope thanks to Jake Browning’s outburst against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, the Bengals remain alive in the playoff race.
The first of a handful of critical AFC games to close the season, the Bengals approach it with an interesting injury report — but plenty of momentum.
We’ve got a look at that injury report, plus the jersey combo the team will roll out against the Colts, plus other stories.
Here’s a look at the must-know Bengals news, notes and quotes for December 8.
Injury updates
Bad news on the injury front, with Tyler Boyd and DJ Turner added to the second report of the week. Turner, the breakout rookie corner, even got the dreaded “hamstring” designation, which just cost Tee Higgins a handful of games. We’ll see how the injuries progress before the weekend, but not what anyone wants to see before a must-have game.
Jersey combo
The Bengals will roll out an interesting set of jersey colors and stripes with the Colts in town over the weekend.
Cam Taylor-Britt update
From the sounds of comments from Bengals coaches, breakout corner Cam Taylor-Britt won’t be out longer than the necessary four games, meaning he could return from IR this season.
