Week 5: Lions – Bengals Wednesday Injury Report

The first practice report of Week 5 just dropped and quite a few Lions players and starters) showing up after that physical game with the Browns last week. A few surprises for the Lions, but mainly the usual suspects and those that were nicked up in the game Monday. For the Bengals, only three players and one starter, otherwise their big injuries (Burrow) are on IR.

Bengals

Wednesday: The three players listed were TE Noah Fant (LP) and Shemar Stewart (both holdovers from last week) along with WR Charlie Jones, who was hurt in the Bengals last game. Not much to analyze, Fant is likely the closest to playing, which would give their offense a boost, but Burrow is unavailable on IR, so it may not matter.

Lions

Wednesday: The report was pretty much as expected, with everyone that was injured in the Browns win (Reed, Arnold, Cunningham and Joseph) showing up in some capacity. Holdovers (Vaki and Decker) were also listed, but that was to be expected. Alim McNeil returned to practice form his knee injury and was a Limited Participant, indicating his 21-day return to lay window may very well not need the entire time. The only surprise was Khalil Dorsey, who suffered a concussion at some point between Sunday and today.
