Bengals lose second starter to injured reserve before Week 14

The Bengals just sent another starter to injured reserve with five games left.

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson had a surgical cleanup on his knee Thursday morning, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. He is expected to miss the rest of the regular season.

The defense had already had enough issues on defense this season, leading to a 4-8 record. Now, they will be without one of their key cogs for the final five games with the season all but lost. Wilson had already broke the century mark for tackles in just 11 games this season with 104. He also had two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and one pass defended.

It’s the latest in a string of injuries for the Bengals, including RBs Zack Moss and Chris Evans. Kicker Evan McPherson just wenet to injured reserve too.

Wilson signed a four-year extension in 2023. He still has three years left on that deal.
