The Bengals haven't done a lot of things right this season, but when it comes to injuries, we're freaking flawless. Marvin White goes on IR with a "ruptured ACL" in his knee. Ben Utecht suffered a "tear in the bottom of the foot where the arch is supported"; same injury that forced Chinedum Ndukwe out recently. While Utecht could be another IR candidate, The Duke could return against the Colts. Carson Palmer is out.
Speaking of White.
What White's placement on Injured Reserve doesn't do, is help our starting lineup of players the Bengals have put on IR this season; we already had three, but depth never hurts.
