The Falcons are gearing up to take on last year’s AFC representative in the Super Bowl, the Cincinnati Bengals, on Sunday. Both teams are 3-3 so far in the 2022 season, and based on what we’ve seen from both teams to this point, this one could go either way.
Injuries are going to be a factor in this one. Both Dee Alford (hamstring) and Jared Bernhardt (groin) were held out of Thursday’s practice after also sitting on Wednesday, but everyone else who was limited returned to full practice status on Thursday. That’s good news for the Falcons.
For the Bengals, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Hayden Hurst, and Markus Bailey all remained limited on Thursday.
