The Cincinnati Bengals are currently gearing up for Sunday night's game at home vs the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bengals are hoping to take control of the AFC North in this matchup, having won four games in a row heading into the game.
Earlier in the day on Sunday, the team made some last-minute additions to its injury report for the Steelers tilt.
“We have added OT Myles Hinton (illness) and G Dalton Risner (illness) to the injury report. Both players are questionable for tonight's game,” reported the Bengals on X, formerly Twitter.
It's certainly not great news that an illness is seemingly spreading through the Cincinnati offensive line on game day, as the team can ill afford to be down multiple bodies on that positional group against a Steelers defensive front that is one of the better units in the league. Guard Brian Parker was already listed as doubtful for this game as he remains on the injured reserve list due to a knee issue.
If the Bengals are indeed even more shorthanded on the offensive line, it will be up to quarterback Joe Burrow to get rid of the ball even quicker than his usual fast time and find weapons like wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins on shorter routes.
The winner of this game will sit in sole possession of first place in the AFC North, although the loser will still be on a good trajectory to make the playoffs. Kickoff is set for 8:20 pm ET from Cincinnati.
