Zac also said he was optimistic about Waynes

Carman starting on Thursday

It wasn't clear whether Higgins was being medically evaluated tomorrow or being evaluated about how well he practices. Probably both

Bengals injury update:

CB Chidobe Awuzie (groin): TBD

CB Trae Waynes (hamstring) making good progress. Is day-to-day, "trending in the right direction."

WR Tee Higgins (shoulder): Will be evaluated tomorrow. Taylor mentioned "wanting to be smart" when talking about Higgins.

I don't like that "coachspeak" about Waynes. That actually sounds like he could be out a while.

I know he started practice last week, so I am not writing him off. I just don't like the way that sounds.

They have 2 days to get healthy.

#Bengals didn’t practice but sent out a practice report of what availability would have looked like if they did since they play on Thursday.

Most notable, Jessie Bates showing up with a neck. Had an awkward hit late in the game. pic.twitter.com/69xW9a78p9

Hope Bates still has a neck.

Was Wayne's a full participant or partial? 

Respect to Riley Reiff. He went out of the game yesterday with his ankle injury and just told the medical staff to "tape it up". Hope they let him rest it until Thursday.

Tough brother. Prince looked like he played decent in his spot.

According to PDJ, he showed up with a neck, which implies he didn't have one before. 

I'd think having a neck would be a good thing.

This dude disagrees.

I'd bet money he's not an NFL safety though. 

Losing Bates for any length of time would be a huge blow to the defense. Of course with as bad as Jacksonville has looked might be worth giving him the game off with it being on a short week so he has more time to rest up for week 5.
