Sheldon Rankins

Bengals placed DT Sheldon Rankins on the reserve/non-football illness list.

He’ll miss at least the next four games. Rankins has been listed as out with an illness for several weeks, he hasn’t practiced since Week 11. Hopefully whatever Rankins has isn’t as serious as that makes it sound, but his first year with the Bengals was brought to an abrupt halt thanks to the injury. He finishes the regular season with seven starts, one sack, and 10 solo tackles. Bengals beat reporters seem to believe Rankins will be released and has played his last snaps with the team.
