Jones is out of uniform on the sideline, where he was joined by Green after the All-Pro wideout pulled up lame coming out of a break early in the first quarter.

Tonight’s Cincinnati Bengals vs Jacksonville Jaguars NFL preseason football game will have a start time schedule of 8:00pm eastern time and airs on network TV channels in both local markets, along with being televised national on NBC.
The Bengals also lost reserve tailback Cedric Peerman to a broken arm. He earned his first Pro Bowl berth last season.
At this point it’s not known how long Peerman will be out, but with a fractured forearm he’ll likely miss a serious amount of time.
Peerman, a Pro Bowl special teams performer for Cincinnati past year, was hurt in the second quarter.
Any time the starters see significant time in a preseason game there is always a chance that they could go down with injury. The first group created a turnover, forced three three-and-outs and held Jacksonville to a field goal on its only red-zone trip. After two preseason losses in which the starters looked solid, the starters looked downright miserable against the Bengals.
The Jaguars had just 90 total yards and five first downs in the first half.
For Bradley, nothing was more disheartening than watching Bengals’ running back Giovanni Bernard pound at his defense’s underbelly for 27 yards on three consecutive runs. Wide receiver A.J. He now has four punt returns this preseason for 167 yards.
The tailback tandem of Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard continued to produce chunk plays in both the running and passing game.
Palmer ended up 5-of-9 passing for 64 yards, no touchdowns and the two interceptions in 1 1/2 quarters.
That would be the last throw Licata would make as Coldwater High School graduate Keith Wenning took over after that and directed the final two series for the Bengals.

T.J. Yeldon fumbled on the opening possession. Johnson’s absence forced Trip Thurman to play center instead of tackle.
