Zac Taylor updated the injury statuses for players like Tee Higgins (hamstring) and Sam Hubbard (ankle) as the latest game week starts.

It wasn't much of an update as he stayed mum on their status ahead of practice on Wednesday.

"I think improving through the weekend," Taylor said on Monday about injured players. "So we'll see once we get to Wednesday kind of how they feel."

Taylor went on to say some of the players were limited in the Monday walkthrough.

Cincinnati sorely misses those two talents and needs all the help it can muster without Joe Burrow for the rest of the season.
