During training camp, Cincinnati has already contracted the Injury Bug.
Since the Cincinnati Bengals’ troubles with the salary cap started to tighten, depth has been a crucial component of the team-building process in Cincinnati.

Although Brown was brought in to give the Cincinnati offensive line a dependable right tackle, his work ethic has been called into question throughout his career. Regarding Brown’s injury situation, the organization has not yet released any additional information.
