Bengals Beat: Appreciating What 'Relentless' Ted Karras Means To The City of Cincinnati 'We're going to build forever'. STORY: clnscincy.com/bengals-beat-a… #WhoDey

And the greatest night in Cincinnati history happened 24 hours later.

With Bob Huggins about to be inducted into the Bearcats Hall of Fame this weekend, his family and the University of Cincinnati have released a statement on his condition:

Great stuff here (with huge assist from the great @Dan_Hoard) from Dexter Lawrence II on the “Flying Squirrel” against Malik Willis and the emphasis this week on tackling Derrick Henry this Sunday. “It's going to be a good challenge. My emphasis today at practice was just we got tackle this week. We got to wrap him up, and we got to bring him down. So just watching how he run the ball, he's a big dude running the ball. If I can say so, like when I was running the ball back in the day But I think with a guy like him, just the big guys up front just can't let him climb to the second level. We got to build a wall and keep him behind it.”

Joe Burrow on what Bengals need to prove Sunday in Baltimore: “Yeah, I'm very confident in it, but you know we got to go and prove it. We haven't proven anything yet, and that's what sport is all about: is proving yourself against a worthy opponent in front of the world. So that's what we're going to go try to do on Sunday… any time you play a divisional opponent, you're really looking forward to it. I always love playing the Ravens. We know what kind of game it's going to be, and it's going to be a test of our mental fortitude, like it always is.”

Joe Burrow didn’t meet J.D. Vance Wednesday. “We did not. We did not. He came with everybody and left with swiftness and efficiency before the end of practice. So I didn't get to. … Yeah, a lot of people. A lot of people around. That's what I love about what I do is it brings a lot of people together, and people want to take time out of their day to come and watch what we do, watch what I do, and watch all the work that I've put in to come and watch greatness. And that's everybody in the locker room. That's why we do what we do, and whether it's on the TV, whether it's in person, whether it's on the practice field, that's what we do.”

Only one player on Bengals injury report Thursday, Kyle Dugger, with a quad, was limited. Lamar Jackson (ankle) limited.

"Certainly will be different." Joe Burrow on playing a 1 pm game in Baltimore after four straight night games there.

Joe Burrow on facing Trey Hendrickson this week: "It'll be fun. It'll be fun. I'm sure he's excited to hit me after not hitting me (in practice)." Asked about his time with Bengals: "Productive. Productive."

Joe Burrow compares Kyle Hamilton to Derwin James.

Zac Taylor mentally preparing for Lamar Jackson to return Sunday in Baltimore: “You do, but again, I think that they've got another quarterback there that they don't have to change what they're doing. (Tyler Huntley) has obviously had a lot of success for them. So yeah, you're always going to mentally prepare yourself for Lamar Jackson to play and get ourselves ready for that.”

JD Vance arrives at Bengals practice Wednesday afternoon.

Security is being ramped up and street closures around Bengals practice for anticipated visit of Vice President J.D. Vance within hour. Bengals practice already had security dogs sniffing.
