All teams really hope for out of the fourth preseason game is for no players to get hurt.

So while it’s not worst-case scenario territory Ryan Smith Jersey , the Bengals just failed to meet that goal.

Backup quarterback Matt Barkley started tonight (with Andy Dalton tucked safely on the bench), but didn’t make it out of the first quarter.

Barkley hobbled to the sidelines to get checked by trainers Mark Herzlich Jersey , and has already been ruled out for the night with a left knee injury. He walked to the locker room with the athletic training staff.

He was replaced by Jeff Driskel on the field, providing some deja vu after Driskel suffered a broken hand in last year’s preseason finale. Logan Woodside is the only other active quarterback tonight Steve Grogan Jersey , so he figures to get plenty of work.

Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe said on Sunday that the team’s offensive line is “getting so much better” as they work toward the 2018 season, but their work on Monday included one of the team’s starters riding a cart back to the locker room.

Left tackle Garrett Bolles was the unlucky passenger on that cart ride and Mike Klis of KUSA reports that Bolles is now being evaluated for a concussion.

Bolles is heading into his second season with the Broncos after they made him a first-round pick in 2017. His play was rocky during his rookie season Tevin Coleman Jersey , but the hope is that a year of experience and a change in position coaches will help push his performance to a higher level.

Wolfe has seen signs of that happening, but any further improvement will be on hold until Bolles gets a clean bill of health.
