Top Vernon Hargreaves III News

  • Bengals' Vernon Hargreaves: Full participant Wednesday

    Hargreaves (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Hargreaves sustained an ankle injury in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Browns and was limited during Tuesday's practice session. However, he's on track to suit up for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Raiders after he practiced without limitations Wednesday.

  • Bengals' Vernon Hargreaves: Questionable to return

    Hargreaves is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns after suffering an ankle injury.

    Hargreaves was injured in the second quarter, and he was unable to put any pressure on his right leg prior to being carted off the field. That said, he seems unlikely to return to Sunday's game and will instead shift his focus to returning in time for the team's upcoming wild-card matchup. Hargreaves has been limited primarily to special teams duties this season.

  • Bengals' Vernon Hargreaves: In clear for Week 16

He'll fill a depth role in the Cincinnati secondary against Baltimore.
