Several key players for the Cincinnati Bengals showed up on the team's first injury report ahead of a Week 11 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
First things first, quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist/bicep) took a beating last Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens but is fine. Head coach Zac Taylor said he was bruised following the game, but his practice time hasn't been limited because of it.
Wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad), Charlie Jones (groin), and left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (knee/fibula) did not play against the Ravens and only Higgins practiced some on Wednesday. Higgins going limited is a good sign that he's on track to returning for "Sunday Night Football" after he's missed the previous three games. Taylor also said that both Higgins and Brown went through the team's walkthrough this week, which is good news for both.
Edge defender Trey Hendrickson (neck) and linebacker Logan Wilson (quad) were each limited while defensive tackle B.J. Hill (knee) and linebacker Joe Bachie (hip) did not practice at all. Hill has missed two-and-a-half games this year with separate injuries.
