This team has three players (Dennard, Flowers, and Wright) on IR. Dalton, Eifert, Iloka, Jones, and Smith have missed a combined 10 games so far. Yes, that is a very low amount of injuries. In fact, there is only one team in the league which has lost more games to injury this year....the Miami Dolphins.
EDIT: Here is a infographic that backs my claim. The farther to the left the team name is, the fewer games lost to injury it has had. The farther to the right, the more games lost. Wins and losses are charted on the Y axis. Can't find the Bengals, you say? Why, they're that tiny dot to the top left of Denver. See, the size of the circle represents the quality of player lost (starter, backup, 3rd stringer), and the Bengals, until a couple of weeks ago had not lost anyone of any real significance.
The Bengals have been incredibly fortunate to be so healthy this season.
