Good news — the Cincinnati Bengals only have one name on the first injury report of the season before the team plays the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1.
Bad news — it’s No. 1 corner Trae Waynes.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor had already ruled out Waynes for Week 1, so his name showing up on the injury report as a DNP wasn’t exactly a shock.
What was surprising was an otherwise blank sheet. Even rookie center Trey Hill didn’t show up on the report despite a hip injury he’s battling.
If the Bengals are lucky, they’ll stay this healthy for the rest of the week and hit the opener at relatively full strength. Waynes is a big loss against a Justin Jefferson-led passing attack, but the fewer names on the reports this year, the better.
