  Bengals Put Chidobe Awuzie On Injured Reserve

  The Cincinnati Bengals placed cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (knee) on the season-ending Injured Reserve after it was confirmed that he suffered a torn ACL in Monday night's loss to the Cleveland Browns. Awuzie has been the team's top cornerback the last two years, so it's a significant loss for their secondary. Cincy will also be without cornerback Mike Hilton (finger) in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers, while Tre Flowers (hamstring) is questionable to play. Eli Apple (hamstring), who was benched recently, could be forced back into a starting role alongside Cam Taylor-Britt. The Bengals defense/special teams is a popular streaming option this weekend against the Carolina Panthers, but their thin secondary will be tested.

  Chidobe Awuzie, Mike Hilton Out For Bengals Defense

  The Cincinnati Bengals defense will be without cornerbacks Chidobe Awuzie (knee) and Mike Hilton (finger) for a Week 9 meeting with the Carolina Panthers this Sunday. Cornerback Tre Flowers (hamstring) is also questionable, so Cincy's secondary could be very short-handed against quarterback P.J. Walker and Company. It's good news for Panthers receivers D.J. Moore, Terrace Marshall Jr. and Laviska Shenault Jr. as they try to win their second game without running back Christian McCaffrey, who was traded to the 49ers. The Bengals D/special teams is in play as a streaming option this week against a Panthers offense that has scored under 20 points a game so far this year, but Cincy had one of their worst games on defense in Monday night's loss to the Browns and their secondary is vulnerable.

  Chidobe Awuzie Feared To Have Season-Ending Injury

  Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (knee) is feared to have suffered a season-ending right knee injury in the Monday night loss to the Cleveland Browns and he'll undergo an MRI exam on Tuesday to confirm, according to sources. The belief is that he tore his ACL. The Bengals also lost cornerback Tre Flowers to a hamstring injury in Monday's contest, so Cincy's secondary could be very thin heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Through eight weeks, the Bengals have allowed 210.4 passing yards per game, but they could become even more generous to opposing QBs with Awuzie likely lost for the rest of the season. The 27-year-old had 35 tackles (29 solo), five passes defensed and a forced fumble through eight starts.
