The Debrief: Something happened to Carl Lawson and John Ross 1) John Ross did not practice on Thursday. Ross suffered a groin injury during Cincinnati’s 37-36 win over Atlanta — the injury occurred during his second quarter touchdown. According to reports Germaine Pratt Cincinnati Bengals Jersey , Ross worked the stationary bike. The evolution of John Ross: After spending his rookie season in the doghouse, Ross took a few uppercuts from fans after his obvious lack of effort against Carolina. Ross responded with a career-high 52 yards receiving against Atlanta, including a 39-yard touchdown reception that broke a 14-point tie. 2) Defensive end Carl Lawson was added to the injury report. Lawson is a new addition to the injury report, listed as limited on Thursday, which usually means there was an injury during practice. The report says Lawson is dealing with an “ankle”. No more information: Since the Bengals, like most NFL teams, apply a super-secretive policy that shames the NSA, Cincinnati’s scribes have no idea why Lawson was limited. It makes you wonder if something happened Thursday afternoon. Friday will offer more information.The pass rushing competition: As it relates to quarterback pressures, Geno Atkins dominates the conversation. Through four games, Atkins leads the team with 26 pressures — 17 hurries, four sacks, and five quarterback hits. Lawson currently ranks second with 17 pressures and 11 hurries — his five quarterback hits is tied with Atkins.
