Dugger wasn't able to practice at full speed Wednesday due to a lingering quad injury, but it now looks like he's finally put the issue behind him. With starting safeties Jordan Battle and Bryan Cook both also healthy, Dugger projects to factor in mostly on special teams in Week 7 at Baltimore.

Bengals' Kyle Dugger: Limited to open Week 7 prep
Dugger (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Dugger missed the Bengals' two games prior to the Week 6 bye due to a quadriceps injury, which also prevented him from practicing in any capacity.

In 16 regular-season games (seven with the Patriots and nine with the Steelers) in 2025, the 2020 second-rounder recorded a career-low 59 total tackles, as well as a sack and two interceptions.
