The Cincinnati Bengals can’t seem to get two of their most important offensive pieces on the field.

Wednesday, the struggling offensive line got right guard Trey Hopkins back. Tyler Eifert and first-round rookie John Ross, though, once again missed practice.

Paul Dehner Jr. of the Cincinnati Enquirer provided the report, highlighted by a whopping seven names missing practice outright:

Ross did work on the side field, but it isn’t a secret the Bengals are taking it slow with the rookie who suffered two injuries during the preseason, then lasted five snaps during the regular season.

Coach Marvin Lewis was once again vague on Eifert, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN:

Marvin Lewis pulled out the "we'll see" response when asked if there's a possibility Tyler Eifert comes back this week. — Katherine Terrell (@Kat_Terrell) October 4, 2017

The good news? The guys listed under limited participation should be fine by Sunday. Hopkins back in the offensive trenches could provide some newfound stability considering he earned the starting job over the offseason.

As for the Bills, their injury woes at wideout continued:

Both teams have a few more days to get key players healthy before a critical game.

For Cincinnati, the line getting healthy is a plus. But being down Eifert and Ross once again would limit an offense starting to look one dimensional.
