The Cincinnati Bengals went on the road for the first time in the preseason Friday evening. With a 7:30 pm ET kickoff, the Bengals were expecting to have Myles Murphy in action, and it would’ve been a special game for the rookie.
The Bengals' first-round pick is from the Atlanta area, where, per Jay Morrison, his dad has been a season ticket holder.
Unfortunately, it was announced during tonight’s broadcast that Murphy was out due to an illness and did not make the trip to Atlanta.
Really unfortunate timing for the Myles Murphy illness, missing this game in his hometown where his dad has been a Falcons season ticket holder for year.
