Bengals rookie Cashius Howell's injury required surgery
The Bengals have a big injury on their hands with their top rookie.
Defensive end Cashius Howell, a rookie for the Cincinnati Bengals, suffered a wrist injury during Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. By the time Bengals coach Zac Taylor addressed the media on Monday, Howell had already undergone surgery for his injury. Taylor informed reporters that Howell is now considered an injured reserve candidate and will be out for an unspecified period of weeks.
With other players at the same position also injured, the Bengals may be looking to acquire additional talent at the NFL trade deadline. If Howell is placed on injured reserve, he would miss at least the next four games, with a potential return in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns. Howell had started the season strongly, recording one sack and three tackles over seven games while playing in 39 percent of the snaps.
His performance had even put him ahead of Shemar Stewart, the first overall pick from the previous year. This report was originally published on Bengals Wire.
