Boyd has a dislocated finger

I was wondering if maybe the Bengals coaches are getting some time off for the guys before the stretch run and the playoffs. Chase could have played but they held him out an extra week so at the end of the regular season he'll only have 13 or so games. Higgins held out after he wanted to play, sit Hurst for a few weeks so he'll be fresher for the playoff run. Mixon out two weeks in concussion protocol. Boyd maybe missing a couple of weeks for a dislocated finger. With the season nearing it's end maybe it's better to be cautious.

Getting Irwin, Taylor and Perrine some playing time and showing they're an important part of the team probably helps too.
