McFarland added to injury report with Illness

Bengals Injury Report
MacKensie Alexander (Illness) Questionable
Alexander said on Twitter that he doesn’t have covid; so, he should be fine from a health standpoint. I would imagine they are just keeping him away from the team because of an illness. Teams can’t be too careful when it comes to protecting their players from viruses.
Geno Atkins (Personal Day) Probable
Geno Atkins missed practice for personal reasons on Thursday. I still fully expect Atkins to compete against the Steelers on Sunday. Atkins isn’t the player he was earlier in his career. He has been a problem for the Steelers in the past.
Bobby Hart (Knee) Questionable
Hart sat out of practice Thursday with a knee injury. He is the Bengals right tackle and is actually their best offensive lineman right now, in my opinion. Steeler fans like to give Hart a hard time on Twitter but he is actually a good right tackle in this league. If he plays though, TJ Watt will eat his lunch.
Joe Mixon (Foot) Questionable
Mixon has been out a few weeks with a foot injury and it could another week before he is healthy. Mixon did not practice on Thursday and that leads me to think there is a less than 50% chance that Mixon plays. This has been an opportunity for Giovanni Bernard.
