The Bengals’ roster is down to 80 players, but rookies still only make up less than 20% of the team. Nevertheless, it’s the rookies who are dominating the headlines for this franchise right now. It’s a shame most of the headlines are for unfortunate reasons.
News broke Sunday morning that Joseph Ossai had also suffered a torn meniscus against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a few plays before injuring his wrist. It was a sobering announcement that followed an inadequate loss to the Washington Football Team. We don’t yet know is Ossai will miss the entire season, but the defense will surely miss him for however long he’s sidelined.
