TAMPA — Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said he won't feel sorry for the Cincinnati Bengals, a team that enters Sunday's game in Cincinnati with an injury report list a mile long.
The Bengals' final injury report released Friday had six players ruled out — including starting linebacker Vontaze Burfict — and another listed as doubtful for Sunday's game. There were 12 total players on Cincinnati's injury report Friday.
Burfict injured his hip in the Bengals' Sunday night shellacking in Kansas City, a game in which wide receiver John Ross re-aggravated a groin injury.
Add in that running back Giovani Bernard (knee), cornerback Darqueze Dennard (sternoclavicular injury), tight end Tyler Kroft (foot) and linebacker Nick Vigil (knee) remain out, and center Billy Price is out doubful with a foot injury, and the Bengals are an infirmary ward.
