The Cincinnati Bengals have a playoff date with the Kansas City Chiefs in a rematch of last season's AFC Championship. Ahead of the matchup, both teams are dealing with some worrying injuries. While Patrick Mahomes' ankle injury is a major concern for the Chiefs, the Bengals could be lacking depth along the offensive line once again on Sunday, which could prove worrisome for Joe Burrow.

The Bengals' latest injury report indicates that neither Jonah Williams nor Alex Cappa was a participant in practice on Wednesday, which certainly doesn't bode well for their ability on Sunday. As for Ted Karras, who sustained an injury during the Divisional Round win over the Bills, he was a full participant in Wednesday's session, suggesting he'll be ready to play in the Conference Championship.

Neither Williams nor Cappa featured for the Bengals during their win against the Bills. Williams featured in 52 percent of the snaps in the Wild Card Round clash against the Ravens before sustaining a knee injury. He has not returned since.

Last week, Jackson Carman drew his first NFL start amid the absences on the offensive line, and he could well be in line to start again vs. the Chiefs amid the injuries up front for Cincinnati. That could make things more difficult for Joe Burrow in the pocket against a Chiefs defense that will likely be willing to send the blitz, given the situation.

While Ted Karras appears to be trending in the right direction for a return on Sunday, it doesn't seem the same can be said for Cappa and Williams.
