The Cincinnati Bengals have shifted safety Tycen Anderson to the injured reserve list.
Cincinnati announced the move on Friday ahead of the team’s “Sunday Night Football” game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 9.
A core special-teamer, Anderson popped up on the injury report this week with a knee issue that he initially suffered during the prior week’s win over the San Francisco 49ers.
This leaves the Bengals light at safety, so Week 9 could be the first time veteran Michael Thomas gets elevated from the practice squad to compensate.
The move comes on the heels of the team promoting a player from the practice squad to the 53-man roster and signing an outside free agent to that same practice squad.
