Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Trent Brown just rejoined the team after being activated from the PUP list and has already been mentioned again in the injury conversation.
During joint practice with the Chicago Bears on Thursday, Brown apparently left midway through and was replaced by Jackson Carman.
Per head coach Zac Taylor (via Fox 19’s Jeremy Rauch), Brown left practice due to “lower back tightness.”
With any luck, Brown’s departure was just precautionary and won’t lead to something more. But it’s a red flag for a player who has had problems staying on the field in recent years.
Especially so now, considering first-round rookie Amarius Mims is on the shelf with a pec injury for an unspecified amount of time.
And even more especially so, considering another offensive tackle left practice with the Bears on a cart and with an air cast on a leg.
Now, perhaps the most distressing thing about the Bengals is once again becoming the line in front of Joe Burrow as the injuries and smaller setbacks continue to pile up.
