Bengals receive positive injury updates on Geno Stone and Orlando Brown Jr.

Why it matters: The injuries to free safety Geno Stone and left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. during Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns are not expected to be major, providing a sigh of relief for the Bengals.

What's new: X-rays on Stone's shin bruise came back negative, indicating a less severe condition than initially feared. Meanwhile, Brown is considered day-to-day with a calf injury and was never downgraded to out during the game.

Yes, but: While the injuries seem short-term and not significant, their absence could still impact the team's performance if they are unable to play in upcoming games.

Coach Zac Taylor on Stone and Brown's injuries: "[With] both those guys having to come out and miss the game, to see that it's going to be certainly more short-term is positive."
Coach Zac Taylor on Brown's status: "We'll see where it gets through every single day this week and go from there."
Coach Zac Taylor on Brown's performance: "He's done a really good job. I think our line has done a really good job."

What to watch: If Orlando Brown Jr. is unable to play against the Philadelphia Eagles, Cody Ford is slated to start at left tackle.

The bottom line: The Bengals, aiming to improve their record after a slow start to the season, will closely monitor the progress of Stone and Brown as their recovery timelines unfold.
