The Cincinnati Bengals may have some serious issues pop up after their escape from the Tennessee Titans yesterday. Two pretty big names were declared out with injuries fairly quickly after exiting. That doesn't always mean something, but it could. That is what the watches are for.
The biggest name was DJ Turner exiting with an ankle injury after helping on a tackle with Tony Pollard. This hurts for two reasons. The most obvious is that Turner may be one of the best players on the defense, period. He has been super consistent in coverage and has been one of the better tacklers in space. The other reason is that the Bengals have proven their depth at corner has been an issue.
The other player is rookie edge rusher Cashius Howell. He may not be the most productive player in the box score, but he gets pressure at a pretty good rate. He has also proven to be a big part of the rotation on the defensive line this season behind Boye Mafe and Myles Murphy.
Will these two miss major time, or can they get back out there soon? These are major storylines to follow this week for the Bengals.
