It's looking like the Cincinnati Bengals will be as healthy as they've been all season this Sunday night against the New York Giants. Let's take a look at this week's final injury report.
Bengals vs Giants Friday Injury Report
Good news came early for the Bengals as both running backs Chase Brown (quad) and Zack Moss (foot) practiced Friday. Moss was out Wednesday while Brown popped up as limited Thursday and is officially questionable for Sunday, but both players will be good to go according to head coach Zac Taylor.
Taylor also said that Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) will be good to go. Rankins practiced all week after missing the last three weeks. His return gives Cincinnati its deepest defensive line of the season.
Cornerbacks Mike Hilton (knee) and DJ Ivey (knee) round out the injury report. Hilton is questionable but will play, while Ivey is doubtful and will not, according to Taylor. Ivey isn't officially on the 53-man roster yet, so the Bengals will only have healthy scratches for their inactive Sunday. Ivey will have the next two weeks to be activated before his 21-day window expires.
The biggest news comes from the other sideline as Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) will not play Sunday night.
Nabers needed to clear the concussion protocol Friday, and by not doing so, he will miss his second-straight game. The first-round pick still leads the NFL in receptions (35) despite only playing in four games this year. He also leads the Giants in receiving yards (386) and receiving touchdowns (3).
Edge defender Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist) has also been declared out. Running back Devin Singletary (groin) and punter Jamie Gilian (left hamstring) are both questionable.
