Tonight the Cincinnati Bengals will face the Washington Commanders in a crucial Monday Night Football matchup, with Cincinnati aiming to avoid an 0-3 start. Meanwhile, Washington (1-1) seeks to remain tied for the NFC East lead after last week’s victory over the New York Giants.
As shown in the below Field View, the Commanders are relatively healthy on both sides.
The health of the Bengals defensive ends is a problem this season, with Sam Hubbard dealing with ankle issues and Trey Hendrickson suffering from chronic neck issues. Depth DE Cam Sample is out for the season due to an Achilles injury. Both starting tackles suffered hamstring injuries Week 2 which could be a major issue leading into this game. The Bengals face significant issues on their Defensive Line.
As shown in the below Field View, the injury concerns for the Bengals
Head coach Zac Taylor said Higgins is moving towards playing in Week 3 with the hamstring injury that he had been managing, the Bengals will take advantage of an extra day of recovery to see if he can be ready and how effective he will be for Monday night's game vs the Commanders.
Sam Hubbard - SIC Health Score 84
Sam Hubbard's right ankle injury sidelined him for the last two games of the season. In the offseason, it was discovered that his injury was more severe than initially thought. He underwent a complete deltoid reconstruction in his ankle and a TightRope procedure to repair it. Although a full recovery is expected for the new season, it is believed he will be a slow starter this year due to recovering from the issue. Hubbard has been a consistent producer in sacks since joining the league, recording six or more sacks in five of his six years in the league.
