Sheldon Rankins, a defensive tackle, is not playing for the Cincinnati Bengals against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Due to an unknown ailment, Rankins will miss his second consecutive game. It is a setback to the Bengals’ front, which has been devastating to opposition quarterbacks in previous weeks.
Despite the bye week, Rankins is still sidelined. Furthermore, even after the bye week, the Bengals are still hurt and bruised. Charlie Jones, a wide receiver, is doubtful to play due to a groin issue. He is a slot option and has been their return man for the majority of the season.
Logan Wilson, an inside linebacker, was sidelined for the whole week due to a knee injury. If he is unable to participate, they will start Akeem Davis-Gaither. Wilson would be a loss for the Bengals, but Davis-Gaither currently plays in a few subpackages.
Last but not least, offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. is doubtful as he continues to recover from a discouraging fibula injury. Although he was out for the entire week, there appears to be hope that Brown may make a comeback this week.
