No holiday will get in the way of the Cincinnati Bengals pushing for a playoff spot. The Bengals held a light walkthrough on Tuesday to account for the shortened week of rest leading up to Saturday's do-or-die game against the Denver Broncos. 

Bengals Tuesday Injury Report

Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (fibula), quarterback Joe Burrow (right wrist/knee), wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle/knee), and right tackle Amarius Mims (ankle/hand) all would've been limited if Tuesday was a full practice instead of a walkthrough. Brown went limited last Friday but wasn't able to play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Burrow has been limited with his knee injury since Week 14.

Higgins has also been limited for weeks now, but his ankle injury is rather new. He suffered it against the Browns on Sunday but was able to return to the game. Mims also suffered his ankle injury during the game and wasn't allowed back onto the field despite him clearing wanting to return. It's expected that all four will be limited this week, with Brown being a possible exception considering he's been out for three weeks. 

Wide receiver Charlie Jones (groin) also continues to be limited. He hasn't played since Week 8. 

Edge defender Sam Hubbard (knee), tight end Tanner Hudson (knee), and Sheldon Rankins (illness) did not practice and the latter isn't expected to play this week. Hubbard and Hudson are expected to miss the rest of the season.
