The Cincinnati Bengals are optimistic about the return of safety Vonn Bell, who suffered a back injury during practice. Head coach Zac Taylor mentioned that Bell missed Friday's session but feels positive about his chances to play in Monday's game against the Washington Commanders.

If Bell is unable to go, rookie Jordan Battle is slated to fill in. The team is already dealing with depth issues on the defensive line, so Bell's presence would be crucial for their performance.
