The Cincinnati Bengals are back at practice the day after celebrating Christmas, but it doesn’t look like Santa brought the team good health to injured players, as starters Terence Newman, Vontaze Burfict, Jermaine Gresham and Tyler Eifert all missed Thursday’s practice:
#Bengals back at practice. Most returned today. Only Still, Gresham, Eifert and Newman were not practicing.

If Eifert ans Gresham were to both miss Sunday’s game vs. the Baltimore Ravens, that would leave Orson Charles and Alex Smith as the starting TEs.
