Bengals injury updates immediately after Week 7 vs. Browns

The Bengals suffered multiple injuries vs. Browns in Week 7.

(This story was updated to add new information.)

The Cincinnati Bengals beat the Cleveland Browns in Week 7, 21-14.

Along the way, the Bengals suffered a handful of notable injuries that spanned both sides of the football.

Here’s a quick rundown, plus updates as they happen.

 

OT Orlando Brown Jr. injury update

Brown, the starting left tackle, limped off the field in the first half and went to the blue medical tent with trainers. Cody Ford replaced him, which places the team in a tough spot because he’s also a possible backup at right tackle behind Amarius Mims with Trent Brown already out for the season. While he did remain on the sidelines, Brown didn’t return to the game.

 

S Geno Stone injury update

Stone was involved in a friendly fire collision with Vonn Bell in the fourth quarter and was carted off with an air cast on his leg. Jordan Battle, Daijahn Anthony and Tycen Anderson are the team’s backup safeties, though corner Mike Hilton also gets reps there, too.

Update: After the game, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Stone’s injury might not be as bad as he feared but cautioned to wait and see, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic.

Update II: According to Dehner, Stone was walking around the postgame locker room without help from a brace or otherwise, potentially hinting at a major injury avoided.

 

S Vonn Bell injury update

Bell, the other half of the horrific collision near the two-minute warning, eventually got up and left the field under his own power.
