Bengals Injury Report: Joe Flacco among 4 DNPs for Cincinnati's first practice coming off bye week

The Cincinnati Bengals got back to their regular practice schedule Wednesday as they prepare to face the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend.

Let's take a look at the team's first injury report of the week.

Bengals Wednesday injury report

Observations

• Welcome back Joe Burrow (toe). Cincinnati's star quarterback is still on the Reserved/Injured list, but was cleared to practice Monday and will be listed on the injury report until further notice. He went limited officially.
• Joe Flacco (right shoulder) did not throw as he is dealing with an AC joint sprain he suffered back in Week 8. Flacco did play through the injury in Week 9, but he'll still be managed accordingly.
• Trey Hendrickson (hip/pelvis) is now listed with a pelvis injury as well as the hip injury he suffered back in Week 6. He did not practice along with Shemar Stewart (knee) and Samaje Perine (ankle). Head coach Zac Taylor described Hendrickson as "doubtful" to play this week, and Stewart is officially "week-to-week."

Steelers Wednesday injury report

Observations

• Pittsburgh's injury report is more extensive in comparison and is headlined by DNPs from Alex Highsmith (pectoral), Cole Holcomb (illness), Broderick Jones (groin), and Darius Slay (concussion). Cameron Heyward, Jonnu Smith, and T.J. Watt each got veteran rest days.
• Scotty Miller (finger) and Jabrill Peppers (quadricep) each went full.
• Isaac Seumalo (pectoral) was limited and has not played since Week 9.
