The Atlanta Falcons (3-3) are looking to string together their fourth week in five weeks on the road today against the Cincinnati Bengals (3-3).

The Falcons have been stung by the injury bug this week, losing cornerback Casey Hayward and wide receiver Jared Bernhardt to Injured Reserve (IR). However, the team also has some good luck, as cornerback A.J. Terrell and linebacker Mykal Walker are active this weekend despite having some injury troubles this past week.

The injury report for the Bengals didn't leave too many surprises. Those dealing with injuries like wide receivers Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase healed in the middle of the week and practiced fully on Friday.

The Falcons and Bengals kick off at 1 p.m. at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati.
