Cincinnati Bengals Tight End Cleared To Play In Week 17

While the Buffalo Bills have looked fantastic from the moment the 2022 NFL season began, it's the team they'll be facing on Monday Night Football that appears to be their biggest threat, as the Cincinnati Bengals have caught fire in recent times, especially offensively, but now ahead of the Week 17 battle, they'll have yet another talented weapon back on the field. 

After missing the past few weeks dealing with a calf injury, tight end Hayden Hurst is now officially off the injury report and ready to go, which will provide Joe Burrow with one of his safest and most favourite weapons for the playoff run. 

Bengals’ TE Hayden Hurst, who has missed time due to a calf injury, is off Cincinnati’s injury report and good to go Monday night vs. the Bills.

In 2022 thus far, Hurst has racked up 48 catches for 400 yards and 2 Touchdowns, and while all the attention for this offence will go to Mixon, Chase and Higgins, but Hurst is just as valuable to this team, so his return will provide a major boost.
