The Cincinnati Bengals have received an unfortunate injury update regarding Tycen Anderson, which could pose challenges for their secondary. The team’s season has been quite a roller coaster ride, and their defense faces potential issues in the coming weeks due to the loss of an important secondary player.
Rookie cornerback Tycen Anderson has been officially placed on the injured reserve list due to a knee injury, as reported by Pro Football Talk. This marks the second consecutive year in which he has struggled with injuries, with his entire rookie season being missed due to a hamstring injury.
This situation is far from ideal for both the Bengals and Anderson, as the start of his professional career has been marked by setbacks. Anderson has managed to participate in all seven games of the current season, recording a total of eight tackles while primarily contributing on special teams.
As a result of Anderson’s injury, the Bengals will be without a key component of their special teams unit in their Week 9 game against the Buffalo Bills. Anderson is expected to be sidelined for at least four weeks, with hopes that this time will allow him to recover and return to support Cincinnati’s playoff aspirations.
At the time of this article’s publication, the Bengals have not made any signings from their practice squad or free agency. Nevertheless, it’s likely that they will fill the vacant roster spot before the upcoming Sunday game.
