Bengals OL Dalton Risner injured vs Jaguars in NFL Week 4
Dalton Risner is entering his eighth NFL season, second with the Bengals.
Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Dalton Risner suffered an injury during the second quarter of their NFL Week 4 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Risner initially left the game after quarterback Joe Burrow's interception, but managed to return later in the quarter. Risner had missed both Thursday and Friday's practice due to a knee injury and was listed as questionable on the team's injury report.
His performance was particularly questioned following the 53-second mark of the 30-27 loss to Pittsburgh in Week 3 when Pittsburgh's Derrick Harmon sacked Burrow, surpassing Risner. Risner, now in his eighth NFL season with his second stint with the Bengals, had previously sustained a right calf injury during the third quarter of their Week 3 loss to Minnesota.
Following the incident against the Jaguars, Jalen Rivers took over at right guard. Risner later admitted to reporters that he could have improved his performance in protecting Burrow on that particular play, which resulted in Burrow's turf-toe injury.
