The Cincinnati Bengals are entering a shortened week of practice this week following their loss to the Washington Commanders on Monday night. Wednesday's practice will be a walkthrough, and the team released an estimated injury report to start the week.
Bengals vs Panthers Wednesday Injury Report
As expected, defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) would not have practiced Wednesday as he's still likely at least another week away from returning to action. Rankins exited Week 2's game against the Kansas City Chiefs with his injury along with fellow defensive tackle B.J. Hill (hamstring). Neither played in Week 3.
Head coach Zac Taylor told reporters that Hill is closer to returning than Rankins, but Hill wouldn't have practiced Wednesday either.
Edge defender Trey Hendrickson (illness) is apparently under the weather, but he's got a few days to get right for Sunday. Offensive tackle Trent Brown (knee) reportedly tore his patellar tendon on Monday and is bound to spend the rest of the season on the Reserve/Injured list. Tight end and emergency long snapper Tanner Hudson (knee) has been dealing with his knee injury for nearly two weeks. He was active in Week 2 but didn't play. He was inactive for Week 3.
The only limited player for Cincinnati would've been wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder). Chase didn't miss any time during Monday's game, so it could be a very minor injury.
As for the Panthers, defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson (knee), cornerback Lonnie Johnson (hip), left guard Damien Lewis (elbow), and defensive tackle Shy Tuttle (foot) all missed practice due to injury. Edge defender Jadeveon Clowney had a rest day.
Per Jordan Schultz, Lewis suffered a tear in his elbow and isn't likely to play this week.
Two former Bengals players also popped up on the injury report as safety Nick Scott (quadriceps) was limited and quarterback Andy Dalton (ankle) went full.
