Zac Taylor addressed more injuries that hit the Bengals this past weekend, with B.J. Hill (hamstring) and Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) on the mend. The Bengals head coach declared it too early to know their status for next Monday night.
Cincinnati is also discussing adding defensive tackle depth amidst the hit at that spot with four players now hurt and only two left healthy (Zach Carter, Jay Tufele). It was the same "we'll see" message about rookie DT Kris Jenkins.
"Not yet," Taylor said about an update. "Hamstrings for both those games so we'll continue to see how it goes throughout the week."
He sounded much more optimistic about Tee Higgins (hamstring) getting through his hammy issue and suiting up for the first time this season.
"Yeah, I think this extra day really helps this week," Taylor noted about a possible return. That would be a big boost against a shaky Commanders' defense.
