NFL Week 11 injuries: Bengals without star on each side of the ball, Ravens down top CB for Thursday night

Another week, another starting quarterback lost for the season. The Browns announced Deshaun Watson will have season-ending shoulder surgery after the signal-caller suffered the injury during their Week 10 comeback win over the Ravens. Dorian Thompson-Robinson will be the Week 11 starter for Cleveland as they take on the Steelers in another AFC North showdown.

In other news, the Bengals will be without Tee Higgins once again on a short week when they visit Baltimore on “Thursday Night Football.”

Here’s a look at the NFL injury report as we begin to find out who might be active for Week 11, and who might be out.

Bengals: WR Tee Higgins (hamstring), DE Sam Hubbard (ankle), WR Andrei Iosivas (knee), LB Devin Harper, C Trey Hill, OT Jackson Carman OUTRavens: LB Trenton Simpson (concussion), T Ronnie Stanley (knee), CB Marlon Humphrey (calf), G Sala Aumavae-Laulu, DE Broderick Washington, QB Josh Johnson OUT

The Bengals’ biggest offensive blow is that they will be without wide receiver Tee Higgins, who did not practice all week. Expect more Tyler Boyd and Trenton Irwin to make up for Higgins’ absence. No Hubbard for Cincinnati is also a huge loss, so Cam Sample is expected to start.

The oft-injured Stanley will miss another game for Baltimore, so Patrick Mekari is expected to start at left tackle. Humphrey did not practice all week, so his inactive status does not come as a huge surprise. Outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy (groin), listed as questionable on the injury report, is left off the inactive list. 

Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (hamstring) was one of seven Steelers players who did not practice on Wednesday. Defensive tackle Cameron Heyward (groin), wide receiver Diontae Johnson (thumb), safety Keanu Neal (rib) and defensive tackle Montravius Adams (ankle) were also non-participants. Tight end Pat Freiermuth is designated to return from IR and is currently in a 21-day practice…
