Cincinnati Bengals adjust roster amid injuries ahead of Jaguars game

The Cincinnati Bengals are managing significant roster changes and injury concerns ahead of their Week 4 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. To bolster a depleted secondary, the team has elevated cornerback Bralyn Lux and safety Russ Yeast from the practice squad to the active roster.

Head coach Zac Taylor provided updates on several players, noting that Kyle Dugger is officially out for the contest. Other players, including Dalton Risner and Bryan Cook, remain questionable. The Bengals are facing depth issues in both the secondary and wide receiver positions, with Jalen Davis and Ja’Sir Taylor both on injured reserve.

The upcoming game features a notable quarterback matchup between Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence. Analysts suggest the Bengals may attempt to exploit Lawrence's struggles against the blitz, noting his low passer rating and high turnover-worthy play rate when under pressure.
