Bengals injury report for Week 5 vs. Cardinals: 1 out, 4 questionable

The Cincinnati Bengals need to win against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5 to keep their playoff hopes alive. Yes, even this early in the season, the Bengals run the risk of being out of the postseason due to their sloppy start.

Fortunately, Joe Burrow is off the injury report for the first time this season. He hasn't played well with his lingering calf injury but not having an injury destination is a good sign moving forward. Now let's hope he can start moving around in the pocket more and throwing the ball further than 10 yards.

A not-so-good piece of news is that Tee Higgins was injured during the blowout loss to Tennessee. He fractured his ribs in that loss and didn't practice for two days during the week leading up to this game. Akeem Davis-Gaither also missed several days of practice.

With all of that said, here is this week's injury report.
