Believe it or not, the Bengals are one of the better NFL teams when it comes to avoiding injuries.
At least, that's what Warren Sharp's study on NFL injuries shows.

As you can see, the Bengals rank eighth in Sharp's study. It analyzes the adjusted amount of games lost by players over the past two seasons. It accounts for games lost by starters vs. replacement and also accounts for whether a player did play but was listed as probable or questionable.
The Bengals have had their fair share of injuries over the years, In 2014, Marvin Jones, A.J. Green, Andre Smith and Vontaze Burfict all missed significant parts of last year. That's a big reason why Cincinnati ranked 16th in AGL last year.
However, the past two years for Cincinnati have been good compared to the rest of the NFL. They ranked fifth in 2013, despite Geno Atkins, Leon Hall and Emmanuel Lamur missing significant time.
