REPORT: Cincinnati Bengals Lose Offensive Weapon In Practice
During Thursday’s practice, the offensive weapon for the Cincinnati Bengals was gone. In practice, running back Chase Brown hurt his hamstring, head coach Zac Taylor said. In the NFL draft of 2023, the Bengals selected Brown in the fifth round. Ben Baby, a Bengals ESPN insider, tweeted this information.
This season, the rookie running back has made just four appearances and has only gained six yards on two rushes. This season, he has also gained seven yards on three receptions. The squad’s reliance on starting quarterback Joe Mixon will not diminish in their matchup with the San Francisco 49ers this coming week. Additionally, this implies that Chris Evans and Trayveon Williams will keep serving as Mixon’s backup running backs.
With just 69.8 running yards per game, the Bengals’ rushing attack is the second lowest in the NFL this season. With an average of 68.6 yards per game, the Las Vegas Raiders are the only club in this metric poorer than them. In total, the starting Mixon has sold for 366.
In response to the Bengals’ difficulties this season, head coach Zac Taylor stated, “We just got to do a better job finding rhythm early, there’s a lot of things you can point to.” Following the team’s 27-3 loss to the Tennessee Titans, these remarks were made. Both the passing and the rushing games contribute to the offense’s difficulties, but the passing game appears to be picking some steam.
Seven weeks into the season, with a 3-3 record, the Bengals are now bottom in the AFC North division. Although they haven’t started the year as everyone had hoped, they appear to be returning to their typical self. They have a demanding timetable ahead of them.
