The Bengals have suffered their first injury of their matchup with the Dolphins.
It came in the second quarter when linebacker Preston Brown went down with what appeared to be an ankle injury. It’s the same ankle that knocked him out for two games earlier this season. He was down briefly before heading to the sideline to be examined by trainers:
Athletic trainers appear to be testing the range of motion in Brown's ankle, then pull him to his feet.

Brown has also been battling a shoulder injury that had him limited in practice this past week, though he wasn’t listed on the final injury report with a designation.
When Brown left the game, Hardy Nickerson and immediately missed a tackle. He continues to be a major downgrade from Brown.
Brown was later seen getting that ankle retaped and is now probable to return as he’s walking around the sideline with his helmet, which is a great sign.
