#Bengals WR Tyler Boyd could miss a week or two after dislocating a finger on his right hand in Sunday's win over the #Browns, but it shouldn't be an extended absence, per source. Healing, pain tolerance will dictate when he returns.

Some notes from Bengals OC Brian Callahan.

-He said finger injuries are tougher for receivers than just about anyone. For Tyler Boyd, the return process will be about his ability to secure the ball.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd said his finger injury wasn't a normal dislocation. The bone came through the skin, he said, which prompted him to miss nearly all of Sunday's victory over the Cleveland Browns.

But despite the injury, he has been able to practice in a limited capacity all week and is feeling "great," which is a good sign for the Bengals ahead of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

"I kind of went in shock," Boyd said after Thursday's practice. "I never really had any major injuries, thank god, let alone being able to see a bone. So, it kind of threw me off. "But at the same time, my adrenaline was pumping. So, it wasn't really hurting or fazing me. The only thing I was worried about was getting back out there to help my guys."

According to Boyd, there were no other major dislocations or torn ligaments. On Wednesday, Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Boyd had the injury flushed out to avoid any potential infections.

Cincinnati's top slot receiver knows his injured finger is going to hurt. But a little extra-strength ibuprofen and some good padding should be enough to get him through game day.

"At the end of the day, I can play," Boyd said. "I can move my legs. I can make it work."
