Likely out until training camp
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Tuesday that Ossai had another procedure done on his knee "to help the process" and will be sidelined for "a couple more weeks," Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ossai had surgery on his meniscus during training camp and was sidelined for his entire rookie season. It's concerning that the knee is still causing the 2021 third-round pick issues, but his coach remained optimistic by saying, "he's certainly on track to be able to play in training camp and be able to do some good things for us."

If Justin Fields falls from the top four the descent could prove brief, if only thanks to trade possibilities at picks No. 7 (Detroit) and No. 8 (Carolina).
John McKechnie and Joe Bartel take a look at the first round of the upcoming NFL Draft through a betting lens and identify their favorite props for Thursday's first round. Will Justin Fields really slide?
Travis Etienne should probably have even odds with Najee Harris to be the first running back drafted, but odds generally mark Harris as the safe favorite.
The Dolphins are loaded with draft ammo and are likely to send Tua Tagovailoa into much more favorable circumstances in 2021.
He might not go in the first round, but Rondale Moore would be a great pickup for Jacksonville in the early second.
