The Cincinnati Bengals' injury report from Thursday looks the exact same as it did Wednesday as two players were non-participants and three others were limited.
Bengals vs Ravens Thursday Injury Report
Mike Hilton (knee) and Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) were the lone DNPs again. Hilton suffered his injury last Sunday against the Carolina Panthers while Rankins is dealing with the same hamstring injury he suffered against the Kansas City Chiefs all the way back in Week 2. As of now, both are on track to miss this week's game against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Bengals have been playing without Rankins for three weeks now, but Hilton's absence would present a new challenge. The door could be open for both Josh Newton and DJ Turner II to play more snaps at nickelback for Hilton. Cincinnati will also naturally play more base defense against Baltimore's run-first offense anyways.
Trey Hendrickson (neck/back), B.J. Hill (hamstring), and Germaine Pratt (ankle) were each limited once again. Hill injured his hamstring the same day as Rankins, but has been said to be further along the recovery process for the past two weeks.
McKinnley Jackson (knee) and Myles Murphy (knee) each practiced full for the second straight day after being cleared for practice. Murphy still needs to be activated to the 53-man roster, but all signs point to that happening before Sunday arrives.
The Ravens, unlike the Bengals, had a few changes to their injury report Thursday. Rasheen Ali (neck) went limited after not being listed on Wednesday's report, and Arthur Maulet (knee/hamstring) was a DNP after he was limited Wednesday. Chris Board (ankle) and Brent Urban (neck) went full after they were each limited Wednesday.
Bengals rookie has turned heads from all directions after just four games of his promising career
Early returns are very strong for one of Cincinnati’s rookies.
