Injury updates on Bryan Cook, Colbie Young, and Kyle Dugger
· Yahoo Sports
The Cincinnati Bengals got bit by the injury bug in Sunday’s 30-27 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
It started early, when rookie wide receiver Colbie Young exited the game with a knee injury early in the first quarter. Young caught one pass for a two-yard gain before limping to the sideline and not returning. With Andrei Iosivas out, Young could have been in line for a bigger role.

While hopeful it isn’t a long-term injury, head coach Zac Taylor did confirm that Young will miss Week 4 vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The safety room took a hit as well. In the first half, Bryan Cook left the game with an ankle injury, but remained on the sidelines and came back into the game for a few plays, with his right ankle taped up. He tried to gut it out, but the injury was apparent.
Kyle Dugger, who replaced him, also got banged up and could be seen limping on the field between plays. Both players will be monitored throughout the week, per Taylor.
A tough break for several defensive backs, who will be tasked with slowing down a Jaguars offense that scored 35 points on the New England Patriots in Week 3.
Hopefully, they can all suit up this week, but they are definitely names to watch as the week progresses.
