(AP Photo\/Jeff Dean)<span class=\"article__mm-image-credit\">AP<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"VO3YDANPYBBDLPBNKGC7SZKLQU\" class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">The\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals\u00a0are expected to be without starting linebacker Logan Wilson against the\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers. Wilson, who appeared on the injury report with a knee injury, was listed as questionable but did not practice all week. The injury was not known before the Bengals came back from their bye week, but Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Wilson\u2019s knee was swollen and needed rest.<\/p>\n<p id=\"OQCARJMJLNHIZGSDE4YX6CPM6M\" class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">Now, it appears that the Bengals will not have him. In his place, Akeem Davis-Gaither will start alongside veteran Germaine Pratt. Davis-Gaither is a veteran in his own right and plays for the Bengals in sub-packages.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com\/advancelocal\/BFAWSAFNCVHY7H7ZLNT7UBPL7A.jpg\" alt=\"Steelers pile up season-high 421 yards, beat Burrow-less Bengals 16-10 -  pennlive.com\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"S2VYOGBD7NG3RDTQUUP3EMILGM\" class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">Davis-Gaither has one interception and 24 tackles in that role this season. Pratt will likely wear the green dot. For the Bengals, losing Wilson is another blow to a unit that has struggled mightily this season against the run and the pass. Wilson has terrorized the Steelers in the past, so not having him changes how the Steelers can play this defense.<\/p>\n<p id=\"FDBP7ES3SVHABFWF6SX2ZMOTP4\" class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">The Steelers will be mostly healthy themselves, but will likely not have outside linebacker Alex Highsmith for the game as he continues to recover from a low ankle sprain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bengals will likely be without one of their top defensive players against the Steelers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5037,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5036","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 -
