Cincinnati Bengals TE Hayden Hurst (calf) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 9, and was ruled out on the Week 14 injury report.

Reader (rest), S Vonn Bell (rest), S Jessie Bates (groin) and RB Joe Mixon (concussion) practiced in full and carry no injury designations.
| Footballguys view: With Hurst out, there could be more targets for Tyler Boyd in the slot. Mixon will be back, but Samaje Perine might have earned at least a slightly larger role as the #2 back after excelling while Mixon sat two weeks with a concussion. |

Bengals | Jessie Bates unlikely to report for camp? Fri Jul 15, 01:42 PM
Cincinnati Bengals S Jessie Bates, who received the franchise tag from the team in March, reportedly has no intention of playing on the franchise tag or reporting to training camp, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Bates has been a stalwart part of the defense during the team rebuild, so his unhappiness with the team's unwillingness to commit to him at the level his play merits is warranted. The Bengals are still one of the more frugal organizations, so consider this a preview of how it may go when Tee Higgins rookie contract is up in two years. |
