NFL Injury Report

MNF injuries

Bengals, Giants look pretty much healthy

The Monday night teams have released their injury reports. Nothing too notable or surprising with either team.

Victor Cruz hasn’t practiced all week. He said something a few days ago about being optimistic about how he was feeling, but it is very unlikely he’s active. And they may be kind of phasing him out anyway. Even last week, prior to spraining his ankle, they were spelling him heavily with Roger Lewis and Dwayne Harris. When he comes back in Week 11 or 12, I think Cruz will be their distant third wide receiver.

Bengals will be without linebacker Rey Maualuga (fibula). Michael Johnson is questionable, but he practiced fully today – I think he’ll be fine.

For the Giants, they’ll be without starting guard Justin Pugh (knee). Their offensive line has been a disaster area. They rank last in rushing and have been under 55 yards (as a team) four games in a row. I don’t know that the 0-14 Bucs or 0-16 Lions in previous years every finished under 55 rushing yards four games in a row.
