They say no one's healthy after the first practice of training camp. That has to be true following the first regular season game as well with several Cincinnati Bengals players popping up on the injury report for Week 2.
Minor ailments are frequent following the first real week of action, and luckily, the Bengals should be plenty healthy for game time this Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
Here's where the Bengals stand in terms of injuries heading following Thursday's practice:
Bengals Thursday Injury Report For Week 2
| Player | Injury | Wednesday | Thursday |
|---|---|---|---|
Chris Evans | Hamstring | Limited | DNP |
Markus Bailey | Knee | Not listed | Limited |
Joseph Ossai | Ankle | Limited | Limited |
Cam Sample | Ankle | DNP | Limited |
Joe Burrow | Calf | Full | Full |
Dax Hill | Hand | Full | Full |
Logan Wilson | Ankle | Limited | Full |
KEY: DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
Running back Chris Evans (hamstring) did not practice Thursday after being limited Wednesday, signaling he suffered the injury during Wednesday's practice and it kept him out Thursday.
If Evans ends up missing practice on Friday, he'll likely be out for Sunday. Trayveon Williams and Chase Brown would be the two backs complementing Joe Mixon in the rotation, and perhaps rookie wide receiver Charlie Jones will handle kickoff return duties.
It's possible that linebacker Markus Bailey (knee) also suffered an injury at practice after not being listed on Wednesday's report and popping up limited on Thursday. That's something to monitor for Friday.
Everything else on Thursday's report was positive or neutral. Edge defender Cam Sample (ankle) was back at practice, albeit on a limited basis, and fellow edge Joseph Ossai (ankle) was limited once again. He's on track to being a game-time decision.
Quarterback Joe Burrow (calf), safety Dax Hill (hand), and linebacker Logan Wilson (ankle) were all full participants.
Bengals will continue managing cornerback Chidobe Awuzie’s snaps
Awuzie made his long-awaited return from his torn ACL in Week 1.
