More adversity is hitting Cincinnati Bengals’ secondary this week as they prepare for the Carolina Panthers.
We know Chidobe Awuzie (torn ACL) won’t back until next season, but Mike Hilton (finger) won’t play against the Carolina Panthers Sunday either after not practicing all week. Eli Apple thankfully practiced in full Thursday and Friday, so he’ll return as a starter alongside rookie Cam Taylor-Britt.
Hilton’s absence will give opportunities to either rookie Dax Hill or Jalen Davis, who are their reserves at slot corner. Hill made his mark in college working out of the slot, but Davis has the experience factor working in his favor.
