Sheldon Rankins

Bengals HC Zac Taylor said Sheldon Rankins will play in Week 6 against the Giants.

Rankins hasn’t played since suffering his hamstring injury in Week 2. His return will be a welcomed one by a Bengals defense that has struggled through the first five weeks of the season. Rankins has totaled seven tackles in the two games he appeared in the season, and should provide an added boost to Cincinnati’s interior line.
