The Cincinnati Bengals are clearly desperate for a win. After trading for quarterback Joe Flacco on Tuesday, Head Coach Zac Taylor confirmed that Flacco will start on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
The Bengals also got some good news on the injury front, according to the team’s official injury report.
Defensive end Shemar Stewart (ankle) was back on the practice field Wednesday. This marks the first time he has practiced since Week 2. Stewart participated in individual drills, but no team work. He was listed as a limited participant.
Guard Lucas Patrick (calf) was listed as a limited participant. Patrick was on injured reserve following the Week 1 game at the Cleveland Browns. This is his first practice since.
Guard Dylan Fairchild (knee) did not practice. He will be a name to keep an eye on as the week progresses. With Fairchild potentially out, Dalton Risner could make his way back to the starting lineup.
Wideout Charlie Jones (Achilles) was limited, but he was able to play last week. He should be in good shape this week.
B.J. Hill (ankle) was also limited, while wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase got a rest day.
For the Packers, their injury report is long, but backup offensive tackle Anthony Belton (ankle) and starting defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt (knee) missed practice.
