The Cincinnati Bengals have placed veteran defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list, effectively sidelining him for at least four games. This decision is likely to mark the end of his season, as he has not played since November 7 due to ongoing health issues. Throughout the current season, Rankins participated in seven games, accumulating a total of 18 tackles and one sack.
Looking ahead, the Bengals face a potential decision regarding Rankins' future with the team. If the Bengals choose to release him during the offseason, they could save $10.5 million in salary cap space, incurring only $2 million in dead cap. This financial maneuvering could be critical as the team strategizes for the upcoming season.
In other Bengals news, quarterback Joe Burrow has been receiving significant attention for his MVP candidacy following a series of impressive performances, including a notable victory against the Denver Broncos. The team also prepares for a pivotal matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is set to be a highlight of their regular season finale. As the Bengals navigate these challenges, fans are encouraged to stay updated through various media channels, including their YouTube channel and social media platforms.
