The first injury report for Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9 includes no surprises, but two key players were indeed sidelined as preparation begins for the Las Vegas Raiders. 

Bengals vs Raiders Wednesday Injury Report

Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (knee/fibula) and wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) were non-participants Wednesday. Brown was in street clothes on the sideline and Higgins took part in drills on the rehab field. 

Brown suffered his knee sprain back in Week 7 but was able to eventual practice last week and suit up for last Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He aggravated the same knee against the Eagles and missed half the game, being replaced by Cody Ford. Head coach Zac Taylor described him as "day-to-day."

Higgins got the same label this week after he missed Sunday's game. He tweaked his quad last Friday during the team's final practice leading up to the game. Higgins missed two games earlier in the season due to a hamstring injury. 

Defensive tackle Kris Jenkins Jr. (thumb) and quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) went full, per usual. Each player has spent the entire season on the injury report, but only Jenkins has missed games. 

Two Raiders didn't practice Wednesday as center Andre James (ankle) and linebacker Robert Spillane (knee) were out. Tight end Harrison Bryant (elbow), cornerback Jack Jones (Knee), wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle), offensive tackle Kolton Miller (elbow), guard Dylan Parham (foot), and running back Zamir White (quad) were all limited.
