Cincinnati Bengals' defensive back Tycen Anderson has been placed on injured reserve after tearing his ACL during a game. Anderson somehow played through the injury but an MRI confirmed the tear. The Panthers have also suffered injuries, with Justin Houston, Laviska Shenault, and Clauden Cherelus all ruled out. Vonn Bell is doubtful, while DJ Chark and Donte Jackson are questionable. The Panthers have placed Cherelus on injured reserve and claimed CB David Long off waivers. The Patriots have placed OT Calvin Anderson on injured reserve due to illness. The Bengals have promoted Stanley Morgan from the practice squad to fill Anderson's role on special teams.
#Bengals fill the role of Tycen Anderson (ACL) on special teams by promoting Stanley Morgan from the practice squad. Morgan starred on teams the last two years and should provide some juice for that group in a big spot. Probably not long term answer, but big in short term.
