Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Orlando Brown recently suffered a groin injury, which caused him to exit the team's Week Six game against the Seahawks. However, Brown is now confident in his recovery and anticipates being fit to play against the San Francisco 49ers in Week Eight. His optimism is supported by the fact that he participated in full practice on Friday, and he has received a clean bill of health for Sunday's game. Orlando Brown has been a starter in all six of the Bengals' games this season. As for the Bengals' overall injury status, there are no significant concerns leading up to the upcoming game. Nevertheless, the team did announce on Friday that two players, linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither (knee) and running back Chase Brown (hamstring), will be unavailable for the game. Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers showed they could win lopsided games when they raced out to a 5-0 start and were barely challenged in the second half in any of those games. Pulling it out down the stretch in a tight game has been a different issue. A few key mistakes have doomed San Francisco in tight losses the past two weeks against Cleveland and Minnesota. The Niners (5-2) will look to find that formula for winning even when everything isn't going as planned when they host the Cincinnati Bengals (3-3) on Sunday.
