Bengals Face Injury Woes Ahead of Patriots Clash; Burrow Status Still Uncertain
By Victor, NESN Contributor
FOXBOROUGH, MA – The New England Patriots are gearing up to face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12, but the Bengals are heading into the matchup with significant injury concerns. The biggest question mark remains under center, as the Patriots still don’t know whether they will face Joe Burrow or Joe Flacco.
Adding to the Bengals’ woes, star defensive end Trey Hendrickson has been ruled out due to a hip injury that has kept him sidelined since Week 8.
Former Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki is listed as questionable as well. Gesicki was placed on injured reserve on October 15 with a pectoral ailment, but has since returned to practice. Samaje Perine is doubtful.
The Patriots will look to capitalize on these potential weaknesses as they seek to continue their season.
