INDIANAPOLIS _ With their first-round pick getting tests for his knee and their No. 3 quarterback wearing a splint on his throwing thumb, injuries overshadowed Thursday night’s 7-6 loss in the pre-season finale to the Colts and may impact Saturday’s final cuts.
The game couldn’t even decide the Bengals’ kicking competition when both candidates missed three winners in the final 4:17. Rookie Jake Elliott had a chance to win it with 4:17 left when he made a 41-yarder, yet defensive tackle Ryan Glasgow was called for a false start and Elliott hooked left the ensuing 46-yarder.
