The last practice before the Cincinnati Bengals' regular season opener is in the books, and the Bengals remain very much healthy to kick off the season.
Only one player on the Bengals' roster has been unable to practice this week and he will not play against the Cleveland Browns. 52 out of 53 ain't bad, though.
Here's what the Bengals' final injury report looks like:
Bengals Friday Injury Report For Week 1
| Player | Injury | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Joseph Ossai | Ankle | DNP | DNP | DNP | OUT |
Tyler Boyd | Toe | FULL | FULL | FULL | |
Joe Burrow | Calf | FULL | FULL | FULL | |
D’Ante Smith | Shoulder | FULL | FULL | FULL |
KEY: DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
Joseph Ossai (ankle) is the lone player declared out for Sunday's game. He was dressed for practice but did not partake in any individual or team drills. That he was in uniform at all, however, bodes well for him practicing as soon as next week.
Tyler Boyd (toe), Joe Burrow (calf), and D'Ante Smith (shoulder) all are set to play on Sunday. The question remains whether or not Smith will be active as a reserve offensive lineman. He's projected to be the team's swing tackle, which would put him in uniform come game day.

Joe Burrow’s contract has no bearing on Bengals’ ability to build around him
This narrative needs to be put to bed now that Burrow’s extension has arrived.
