A litany of minor ankle injuries has struck the team, but there aren&#8217;t any major ailments to monitor with just over 10 days left in\u00a0the Bengals&#8217;season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\">All of the official statuses from Wednesday are listed below:<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\">Did Not Practice: Charlie Jones (ankle), Joseph Ossai (ankle), Cam Grandy (chest), B.J. Hill (ankle)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\">Limited: Noah Fant (ankle), Matt Lee (knee)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\">Full: PJ Jules (ankle)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">Cincinnati is 5-10 this season, facing two of the worst teams in the league across the final two weeks in Arizona and Cleveland. A 45-point outing this past Sunday has Taylor&#8217;s team feeling confident entering two matchups where they could keep stacking points.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">The 45-point mark against Miami was Cincinnati&#8217;s highest total in a game since 2013, and Taylor had fun revealing some behind-the-scenes comments this week.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\">\u201cI told Ja\u2019Marr to come punch me in the stomach if we hadn\u2019t thrown double go by the midway point in the second quarter. So we got to it a little earlier than I had initially planned,\u201d Taylor said this week about the 35-yard first-quarter\u00a0catch by Tee Higgins. \u201cWe were backed up. It felt like the moment to go do it. And Tee did what Tee does. He goes up and gets it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">Cincinnati takes on the Cardinals Sunday at 1 p.m. ET inside Paycor Stadium.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-22\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cincinnati didn&#8217;t have any major injuries pop up following the Dolphins win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":40417,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cincinnati-bengals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
