Bengals provide injury updates on Bryan Cook and Dax Hill

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor confirmed that safety Bryan Cook and defensive back Dax Hill are showing progress in their recoveries from injury. Both players have missed preseason games but Cook returned to practice on August 24, albeit not participating in team drills. Hill remains sidelined with hamstring tightness. Taylor noted they are both progressing without any long-term concerns, although neither is expected to play in the upcoming preseason finale against Philadelphia. The Bengals have used this time to evaluate depth players, which has yielded positive results for the defense thus far.
