The Cincinnati Bengals had some eyebrow-raising injury listings during the week before the team’s game against the Cleveland Browns.
But Bengals head coach Zac Taylor gave the all-clear on the two biggest items.
When it comes to Joe Burrow’s injury, Taylor said the knee issue that had him limited all week wasn’t a concern.
As for Tee Higgins’ injury, Taylor said the same thing after Higgins was limited two days and rested another due to a knee injury.
Taylor’s most notable one-liner on these topics: “We’re in management mode at this point.”
Not management, though, is the concussion protocol process for guard Alex Cappa. He’ll have to pass final tests to be able to play on Sunday. Ditto for Orlando Brown Jr., who is also listed as questionable after the re-aggravtion of his knee injury at the start of the month.
Those issues up front could mean Cody Ford starts on the left edge and potentially rookie Matt Lee gets the nod at right guard.
