Bengals vs. Patriots Injury Report: Chase and Higgins limited

Game day approaches.

The Cincinnati Bengals were back on the practice field Thursday, preparing for Sunday’s opener against the New England Patriots. As always, Thursday injury reports shed light on who should be suiting up Sunday.

For the Bengals, Joe Burrow (right wrist) was again a full participant, as was rookie wide receiver Jermaine Burton (toe.) Burton had not shown up on the injury report thus far this week, but he appears to be okay for Sunday.

Another new name on the list was wide receiver Tee Higgins, who was limited with a hamstring injury. The team was likely cautious with him to keep him ready for Sunday, but it is something to keep an eye on.

Ja’Marr Chase practiced yet again but was listed as a limited participant on account of rest as he works back into form after his hold-in. Linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither was also limited with a rest day.

Kris Jenkins (thumb) had his entire hand wrapped during practice but appears ready to go. He was listed as a limited participant for the second straight day. Amarius Mims was also limited again, but reports don’t suggest he is in line to play.

For the Patriots, their report looks similar to yesterday. The only new addition to their report was running back Antonio Gibson (hip), who was listed as limited.

Offensive guard Sidy Sow (ankle) was the only Patriot to not participate, indicating he will not suit up Sunday.

Defensive back Johnathan Jones (hamstring), offensive tackle Vederian Lowe (abdomen), Linebacker Josh Uche (foot), and linebacker Oshane Ximines (ankle) were all listed as limited participants for the second consecutive day.

Friday is usually a walkthrough during which the team gives a simulated report, so we could learn game statuses as soon as tomorrow.
