6 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (thigh) was removed from the Week 4 injury report prior to the game against the Atlanta Falcons, as he practiced in full on Friday after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. With Joe Mixon (back) once again ruled out, Bernard is expected to do the heavy lifting in the Cincinnati backfield with only Thomas Rawls and Mark Walton around to spell him. Bernard might be able to do some damage catching balls out of the backfield, as the Falcons pass defense has been shabby. Alvin Kamara shredded Atlanta for 15 catches for 124 yards last week while setting an NFL record for running backs with 20 targets. Bernard might not attain those lofty stats, but he'll do well for seasonal and DFS players.--Daniel Dobish
