Giants lose two more defensive backs, Bengals lose Rex Burkhead
Wild Card Playoffs - Cincinnati Bengals v Indianapolis ColtsWe’re well into the portion of the Bengals-Giants game decided by backups, but each team has suffered injuries to players who are in the mix for playing time come the regular season.
Rex Burkhead lined up as a slot receiver when the Bengals’ starting offense was on the field and then shifted over to tailback when the reserves rolled into the game. Burkhead ran four times for 23 yards, but he’s been knocked out with a neck injury. The Bengals call his return questionable and the team also lost Cedric Peerman, who took over at tailback, to a knee injury before the end of the first half.
