The Cincinnati Bengals are about as healthy as a team could hope to get going into their playoff game on Saturday against the Las Vegas Raiders.
After activating numerous big names from the COVID list and offering updates on key names like Quinton Spain, the Bengals hit practice Tuesday with some interesting statuses on the first injury report of the week.
That injury report featured three names as a DNP (did not practice):
- CB Ricardo Allen
- WR Stanley Morgan
- DT Josh Tupou
Two more players were listed as limited:
- CB Vernon Hargreaves
- CB Jalen Davis
Absent from those lists and listed under “full” practices? Spain, the starting left guard making his way back from an ankle injury.
It’s an important step for an offensive line already forced to start a backup at right tackle with Riley Reiff out for the year.
Barring a change over the next two practices, it sounds like Spain will be available, which is critical considering the key x-factor of the game is somehow containing Raiders elite pass-rusher Maxx Crosby.
