The Bengals were without left tackle Cordy Glenn for the second practice in a row today due to a concussion. Unlike yesterday, Glenn was seen in the locker room, but now we know why he was absent.

Without Glenn, Andre Smith took his place with the starters at left tackle.

Since he’s in the concussion protocol, it’s unlikely that Glenn plays on Thursday against the Giants. The starting five at practice today with Smith at left tackle figures to be the starting five for the game.
Along with Glenn, 13 other players did not participate at practice, including a couple of new names.

Joining the usual suspects today were wide receiver Stanley Morgan and tight end Moritz Böhringer. It’s a bummer for Morgan because with Core also hurt, it would’ve been a good opportunity for the rookie to get some extra reps. Böhringer’s been stuck with the third-stringers for the entirety of training camp, so the offense isn’t missing much.
Christian Westerman has yet to officially retire, so he’ll be listed as a non-participant until then.
Thursday’s game is approaching quickly and the Bengals expect to play everyone who is healthy. At this rate, that final number could be smaller than we think.
