Bengals likely to start third-string right tackle vs. Broncos and will be without top cornerback

The Cincinnati Bengals (7-6) will be without their top cornerback, Chidobe Awuzie, against the Denver Broncos (7-6) on Sunday. They'll also likely be starting reserve offensive lineman Fred Johnson at right tackle in place of Riley Reiff.

Awuzie was placed on the team's reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday and head coach Zac Taylor said he will be unavailable to play this weekend.

From a depth standpoint, the Bengals are in good shape at cornerback to replace Awuzie.

Veteran Trae Waynes will likely be activated off injured reserve to the active roster and practiced the last two weeks.
