At this point in the season, every team in the NFL is banged up and dealing with a variety of injury issues to various players, and the Cincinnati Bengals are no different. The Bengals have several key contributors sidelined for the remainder of the current campaign, and others fighting through ailments in order to be out on the field for the final few weeks.
