The Cincinnati Bengals’ first injury report for the 2022 campaign is available as they get ready to meet the Pittsburgh Steelers during game week.
Fortunately, injuries aren’t a significant concern going into Week 1 for either side.
Three of the Bengals’ four tight ends managed to appear on the injury list, but nobody else did.
Drew Sample seems to be ready to go this week after participating in training camp with a full roster of teammates.
The ankle injury Mitchell Wilcox sustained throughout training camp caused him to be limited.
Despite receiving a DNP due to a quad injury, Devin Asiasi was observed practicing on the rehabilitation field. Even if he is fit to play, don’t count on him to be involved in the action any time soon as he is still getting used to the offense after joining the team last week.
Star wide receiver Diontae Johnson, who suffered a shoulder injury in the Steelers’ last preseason game against Detroit, and backup linebacker Marcus Allen, who has a hamstring issue, are the only two players listed as out for the team. They were both constrained.
T.J. Watt, an All-Pro defensive back who sprained his knee in the preseason finale, was not included on the injury report, so Week 1 workload should be full for him.
