According to reports, the Bengals are about to put their first player on season-ending injured reserve since the season started when cornerback Darqueze Dennard goes on the list with shoulder surgery.
Citing a league source, ProFootballTalk.com reported the development less than an hour after Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said he had no update on Dennard, injured in his first NFL start in Arizona Sunday night. So it’s unclear when it’s going to be official.
Dennard, the club’s 2014 first-round pick, got hurt when he attempted to defend wide receiver John Brown on an 18-yard slant in the second quarter for a TD.
