Injury Report Ahead of Thanksgiving Clash

CINCINNATI — As the Cincinnati Bengals gear up for their Thanksgiving showdown against the Baltimore Ravens, the final injury designations reveal a challenging landscape. Key players Trey Hendrickson and Tee Higgins have been ruled out, creating gaps in the lineup that could impact the team’s performance. Additionally, defensive lineman Cam Sample is listed as questionable due to an oblique injury.

Burrow’s Return Sparks Optimism

On a brighter note, star quarterback Joe Burrow has been activated off injured reserve and is set to return to action. His presence on the field brings renewed hope to a team facing adversity. Also making his season debut will be Daijahn Anthony, adding depth to the receiving corps.

In the midst of the injury concerns, running back Chase Brown has remained healthy and is eager to see Burrow back in the lineup. “Everybody’s thinking about it,” Brown shared with reporters on Monday. “He’s kind of at that time of his recovery where it could be any week now. So that’s really up to him and the training staff — the people that have been working closely with him throughout his recovery process.”

Challenging Matchup Ahead

Burrow’s potential return is crucial as the Bengals aim to break the Ravens’ four-game winning streak in their series. With the season hanging in the balance, this matchup holds significant weight for Cincinnati. The game is scheduled to kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET tomorrow night, setting the stage for an intense Thanksgiving battle.

As the Bengals prepare, they will need to navigate the challenges posed by injuries while rallying behind the return of their leader, Burrow. The stakes are high, and the team is focused on keeping their playoff hopes alive.
