Jessie Bates good to go vs. Detroit, but Trae Waynes is hurt again

Some good news came out this morning for the Cincinnati Bengals, as one star defensive player is going to be available as the team faces the Detroit Lions this weekend.

During his Monday meeting with reporters, Zac Taylor confirmed that safety Jessie Bates III would be good to go this weekend against the Lions.

Also, Jessie Bates just got rattled up end of the game and should be OK to play Sunday vs. Lions.

Bates took a hit over the middle in one of the last plays of the game yesterday against the Green Bay Packers as he tried to break up a pass intended for Randall Cobb.
