It's a big week of practice for the Cincinnati Bengals as two starters will try to get healthy for Sunday's matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. One of them did practice Wednesday, while the other sat the day out.
Bengals vs Eagles Wednesday Injury Report
Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (knee) was limited Wednesday. He suffered what was first labeled as a knee injury last Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, though it was later clarified to being a calf injury. The team is now officially listing it as a knee injury.
Brown has only missed one game in his seven-year career when his Kansas City Chiefs played the Bengals back in 2021, and it was from an injury he suffered during warmups. His durability is second-to-none for his immense size, and it's honestly no surprise he was able to at least practice a little bit to start this week.
Free safety Geno Stone (shin) was the other Bengal to be injured in Cleveland and he did not practice Wednesday. Head coach Zac Taylor said earlier in the week that Stone will likely be sore all week. It's expected Stone will take things day-by-day. Edge defender Trey Hendrickson was the only other DNP for personal reasons.
Defensive tackle Kris Jenkins Jr. (thumb) is still listed after he underwent successful surgery prior to Week 1. He's been a consistent rotational piece since making his debut in Week 3. Quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) is no longer being listed with a shin injury that popped up last week.
