The Cincinnati Bengals can’t escape the injury bug against the Baltimore Ravens.
First-round offensive tackle Amarius Mims needed a cart to leave the field in the third quarter of Sunday’s game after attempting to walk off under his own power.
Mims was already starting in place of veteran Trent Brown, who went down with a season-ending injury earlier this year.
If Mims has to miss time, backups like Cody Ford would take over starting duties on the right edge in front of Joe Burrow. Mims had already battled an injury (pec) over the summer, so the hope has to be that the cart was just a precautionary step to get him back to the locker room.
Earlier in the day, former first-rounder Dax Hill was quickly ruled out with a knee injury.
Update: Mims came back out of the locker room and was in and out of the blue medical tent multiple times while classified as questionable to return with an ankle injury. And in the fourth quarter, with roughly four minutes left and a lead to protect, he was back out there.
