The Cincinnati Bengals signed cornerback Trae Waynes last year with the hopes that he’d step into their secondary and make an immediate impact. Unfortunately, the long-time Minnesota Viking injured himself last August and never took the field for his new team during the course of the 2020 season.

Waynes returned to the lineup for training camp this summer but suffered an injury on Wednesday that had him limping off the field. As of Thursday, head coach Zac Taylor said it was too early to tell if Waynes would play in Week 1 when his old team comes to Cincinnati to kick off the regular season.
