The injury bug is starting to catch up to the Cincinnati Bengals' defense.
Already without star defensive tackle D.J. Reader, the Bengals could find themselves in a tougher spot without Josh Tupou and middle linebacker Loan Wilson after both players left Sunday's game against New Orleans with respective injuries.
The Strictly Stripes crew explains how high the panic meter should be for Cincinnati, along with:

Who the best reinforcements are for Wilson and Tupou.

How can the Bengals put a band-aid on the injuries before the second half of the season?

Where can Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd take the offense as they hit their strides?

Where can the Bengals utilize Sam Hubbard and Trey Hendrickson up front?


Plus, the crew explains more about what makes last Sunday's win over the Saints so significant before the bye week.
This podcast features Mohammad Ahmad, Andrew Gillis and Michael Niziolek.
