Bengals injury report headlined by Trey Hendrickson, Charlie Jones update

The first Bills vs. Bengals injury report has arrived.

The first Cincinnati Bengals injury report of the week before the team takes on the Buffalo Bills in primetime features some major names.

There, the Bengals issued the following designations:

  • Trey Hendrickson, DNP
  • Josh Tupou, DNP
  • Tycen Anderson, DNP
  • Orlando Brown, LP
  • Joe Mixon, LP
  • Akeem Davis-Gaither LP

Coaches stressed that Hendrickson’s absence after the injury he suffered against the 49ers was just a management thing and not an indication that he wouldn’t be able to play next Sunday night. This is the same early rest day Orlando Brown had last week, too.

It would also appear that this is the first big step in the right direction for Akeem Davis-Gaither, though the team did just add another free-agent linebacker to the practice squad.

Though he’s eligible to return, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that rookie wide receiver Charlie Jones won’t have his 21-day return window opened and that it might be something they can do next week.

Seahawks vs. Bengals final injury report offers Tee Higgins update

Tee Higgins listed on final Seahawks vs. Bengals injury report.

The Cincinnati Bengals got some good news on Friday while issuing the final injury report ahead of their Week 6 game against the Seattle Seahawks.

There, wide receiver Tee Higgins got listed as questionable after his first full practice of the week.

At the time of the final report going live, only one player was listed as out:

  • LB Akeem Davis-Gaither (Out)
  • CB Chidobe Awuzie (Questionable)
  • LB Devin Harper (Questionable)
  • WR Tee Higgins (Questionable)
  • DT Josh Tupou (Questionable)

That first full practice for Higgins was the first since his rib injury on October 1, so it’s potentially a sign he’ll be good to go, barring something unexpected during warmups on Sunday.

It’s a similar vibe for top cornerback Chidobe Awuzie, who aggravated a back issue last week and missed the win over the Cardinals. Bengals coaches want to gauge his readiness — and that of all four 50-50 guys — before kickoff.

Josh Tupou is a new addition to the report, while rookie Myles Murphy is back off of it and good to go after a personal matter.
