Tyler Boyd Reportedly Could Miss Rest of Season with Knee Injury

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd reportedly suffered a "low-grade MCL sprain" and could miss the remainder of the season, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on Monday.

Boyd injured his right knee during Sunday's 30-16 home victory over the Oakland Raiders at Paul Brown Stadium and was ruled out.

Boyd had four catches for 38 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game in the second half.

This is a difficult blow for the 24-year-old wideout, especially considering he is in the midst of the best season of his three-year NFL career. After a disappointing sophomore campaign (22 receptions for 225 yards and just two touchdowns), the Pittsburgh product has come through with 76 catches for 1,028 yards and seven touchdowns in 2018.

With A.J. Green already out with a torn ligament in his toe, the Bengals lack reliable alternative weapons in the passing attack.

This could open the door for John Ross, who has been inconsistent during his second year in the NFL but still shows plenty of upside. The 2017 first-round pick entered the day with six touchdowns in 10 games.
