The Cincinnati Bengals' preseason opener versus the New York Jets has been riddled with injuries. In the first quarter alone LG Travelle Wharton was carted off with a knee injury, MLB Rey Maualuga was helped off the field with another knee injury and DE Carlos Dunlap left with yet another knee injury. Later in the 2nd quarter, S Taylor Mays left after taking a hit to the head. None of the four are expected to play again tonight.
Four Bengals Starters Leave Game With Injuries: Fantasy Implications

We will keep you posted as more news comes in.
