The Cincinnati Bengals travel to New York to face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday with a trip to the AFC Championship at stake. Let’s take a look at the first injury reports from the two teams.
For Cincinnati, right guard Alex Cappa (ankle) and offensive tackle Jonah Williams (knee) did not practice. Head coach Zac Taylor’s expectation is that both will be “week to week” so it would be a shock if either were to play on Sunday.
Joining them as non-participants were cornerback Tre Flowers (hamstring) and defensive tackle DJ Reader (rest). Reader should be good but will be keeping an eye on Flowers throughout the week.
Full participants were cornerback Eli Apple (neck), defensive end Joseph Ossai (shoulder) and safety Michael Thomas (hamstring). Full attendance early in the week bodes well for their chances of being operational in Buffalo.
For the Bills, quarterback Josh Allen remains on injury report for his right elbow, but he was a full participant in practice. He’s been struggling with the injury for most of the season so we’ll see him on Sunday.
Safety Jordan Poyer (knee), cornerback Dane Jackson (knee) and nose tackle Jordan Phillips were among a few participants to keep tabs on throughout the week.
