The struggles for the Cincinnati Bengals continue to remain after dropping their third straight game last Sunday, losing to the Detroit Lions with a final score of 37-24.
Quarterback Jake Browning continues to struggle in his role, filling in for the injured Joe Burrow. He threw for 251 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions in the loss.
Head coach Zac Taylor and the Bengals made a move to address their offensive struggles, completing a deal with the Cleveland Browns to acquire veteran quarterback Joe Flacco. Whether it's Flacco or Browning under center in Week 6, they'll have to contend with an injury-depleted offensive line.
Rookie OL Dylan Fairchild reveals knee injury
Multiple injuries to the Bengals' offensive line have sparked a shuffle in the positions throughout the season, and it's been revealed that rookie third-round pick Dylan Fairchild has picked up an injury of his own.
WLWT's Jaron May revealed that Fairchild was spotted with a limp and a knee brace on his left knee in the Cincinnati locker room on Monday.
The hope is that the 22-year-old Fairchild will still be able to practice throughout the week and play in the Bengals' Week 6 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
Cincinnati's already puzzling offensive line will have to make adjustments if Fairchild is unable to go. The hope would be to get back guard Lucas Patrick after he picked up a calf injury in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns and was placed on injured reserve.
Whatever Zac Taylor has in mind, it will be something to take note of as they look to snap their three-game losing streak in Week 6.
