The Bengals held their second practice of the week in preparation for their matchup with the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football. The injury report didn't change at all for the Bengals or the Browns from Monday to Tuesday; the same players who practiced on Monday (or had their would-be participation estimated as the Browns didn't actually practice on Monday) hit the field again, and when it comes to the injury report, didn't on Tuesday.
Rey Maualuga's and Andre Smith's status for Thursday are in question, as is Carlos Dunlap's, though he has participated in a limited role in each practice this week. It's fair to assume the past two practices for the Bengals have been light ones as they're quickly turning around from a rough game against the Steelers to face another division rival, the Browns in just a few days.
With Josh McCown missing practice for the Browns, it's very possible Johnny Manziel will be starting at quarterback for Cleveland on Thursday night. It's also looking like the Browns' concussion brigade, as Mary Kay Cabot referred to the Browns' concussed players on Twitter, will also be missing this matchup. That includes former Bengals wide receiver, Andrew Hawkins.
