Preparations for Week 2 are well underway for the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati's first injury report of the week is once again on the light side like it was a week ago, but there are a couple names to note.

The Jags dominated the Carolina Panthers last Sunday, 26-10. Trevor Lawrence and co. outgained Bryce Young and the Panthers 378-255 yards. That level of superiority was enough to overcome 11 penalties resulting in a loss of 93 yards whistled against Jacksonville.

Call it losing the roster crunch game, though. The Bengals needed to keep summer breakout Mitchell Tinsley on the final 53-man roster while limiting the position to six spots and using the additional room elsewhere. As such, the Bengals only have Jordan Moore on the practice squad right now as emergency depth.
