Higgins and Bates Practicing

[Sled21]

Hate that for Alexander, as he is a Louisville player, but if he's got to be out, might as well be this week.

#Bengals aren't the only ones with a star RB dealing with an ankle issue. Packers Aaron Jones limited Wednesday. Also, Jaire Alexander, their star corner DNP Wednesday with a shoulder injury. pic.twitter.com/1VNuLjQq1O

LB Chauncy Rivers will be out...that knee injury was a ACL tear during practice.  Look for Jaylon Smith to take his spot

Joe Mixon is not but that was to be expected today

Both returning will be huge.  It is almost like we forget Higgins has 10 receptions for 118 yards and two TDs and he has only played in two games.  

If he is 100%, the offense could really be lethal now that Burrow seems to be back 100% (which in and of itself is fricking amazing), and the line has been pretty solid.

No doubt, this is great news. I actually think we can win this game if we are healthy...

Healthy and the Homefield advantage are the keys IMO.

Their starting center and left tackle are both not practicing today.

More great news for us and for our DL if they have starters out Sunday.

Hopkins being out a second day is concerning, if he can't go that puts 2 rookies in the interior line. Waynes is back to limited in practice. I'm hoping that is more to keep him overdoing it as opposed to feeling soreness in that hammy

DNP
Hopkins (knee)
Mixon (ankle)
Smith (illness)
Su’a-Filo (knee)

Limited

Higgins (shoulder)
Morgan (ribs)
Ogunjobi (knee)
Thomas WR (ankle)
