Bengals' Vonn Bell: Draws questionable tag
Vonn Bell (back) did not practice Saturday, but he is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Washington, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.Bell popped up on the Cincinnati Bengals' injury report Thursday with a back issue. While he's listed as questionable for Monday's game, the fact he ended the week with back-to-back DNPs doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up. Jordan Battle is listed as the No. 2 strong safety on the Bengals' depth chart. However, given Battle has played only one defensive snap over the first two games of the regular season, corner Mike Hilton could be tasked with sliding over to the strong safety spot alongside free safety Geno Stone for Monday's contest, if Bell doesn't end up playing.
