Bengals coach makes a weird defense for struggling player

One Bengals coach put a lot of odd-sounding defenses up for a certain player.

The Cincinnati Bengals have had a few defensive players facing issues, with linebacker Demetrius Knight being one of them. Recently, coach Al Golden made an unusual statement regarding Knight's absence from a game, citing hydration and temperature concerns. Golden explained that the heat increased, and Knight required IVs during a game against the Titans.

Instead of Knight, Oren Burks took his place and made an impressive stop. Golden emphasized the importance of a balanced rotation and the need for multiple players to contribute. Although Knight may be experiencing cramps, especially early in the season, this explanation appears to be more elaborate than necessary. The Bengals are likely to observe how their discussions evolve as temperatures begin to drop in October.
