The Cincinnati Bengals are traveling to Southern California today for their "Sunday Night Football" matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The team held its final practice of the week Friday morning, and the injury situation is starting to clear up.
Bengals vs Chargers Friday Injury Report
Wide receiver Tee Higgins is expected to play Sunday night in L.A. according to head coach Zac Taylor. Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (knee/fibula) will likely be a game-time decision, but the Bengals could also declare him out Saturday. Brown is officially questionable.
Higgins has missed Cincinnati's previous three games after he suffered a quad injury leading up to Week 8. He was seen running sprints during Friday's practice while Brown was watching offensive line drills. Brown has been out since re-injuring his knee in Week 8. If Brown can't play, Cody Ford will once again start in his place.
Defensive tackle B.J. Hill (knee) and linebacker Logan Wilson (quad) are also expected to play Sunday night. Both players have been limited in practice this week with Wilson finally getting a full practice in Friday. Both are listed as questionable.
Trey Hendrickson update
Edge defender Trey Hendrickson (neck/personal) is questionable after missing both Thursday and Friday's practices. Hendrickson missed Friday due to personal reasons, and he will also not travel with the team later today. The team has stated that Hendrickson will travel to Los Angeles Saturday and be available to play Sunday.
Linebacker Joe Bachie (neck) is doubtful and wide receiver/return specialist Charlie Jones (groin) will not play. Expect Isaiah Williams, who was claimed a week ago off waivers, to take Jones' role in some capacity for his Bengals debut.
The Chargers are only listing one player as questionable for Sunday. Cornerback Deane Leonard (hamstring) was limited all week long in practice. Everyone else was a full participant in practice Friday aside from edge defender Khalil Mack (groin), who failed to practice this week.
