Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert, who appeared to be on track to returning from ankle surgery until he had a back issue last week, did not participate in practice Wednesday.

Bengals Coach Marvin Lewis didn’t share much about Eifert’s back injury last week but made it sound like the team would continue to play it safe until Eifert feels significantly better.

The Bengals listed both back and ankle injuries for Eifert on their injury and participation report.

Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green was also listed as a non-participant in Wednesday’s practice due to a calf injury. Running back Jeremy Hill was limited due to a chest injury.

The Bengals play at New England on Sunday.
