The Cincinnati Bengals are one of the few teams in the league that have managed to stay mostly healthy amid an NFL-wide COVID-19 surge. As of Wednesday afternoon, the Bengals had just one player on their reserve/COVID-19 list.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley made headlines over the summer after speaking out against the NFL’s COVID-19 policy.
