Burfict, Hunt out, everyone else probable for Texans

The Cincinnati Bengals continue to get healthier and will go into Sunday’s game in Houston with a promising injury report that features running back Giovani Bernard as one of six players listed as probable.

While Bernard is likely to play, he will be eased back into the rotation with Jeremy Hill after missing the last three games with hip and clavicle injuries.

Also listed as probable are right tackle Andre Smith (ankle) and cornerback Terence Newman (knee), both of whom sat out last week’s game against the Saints.

Right guard Kevin Zeitler (calf), defensive end Wallace Gilberry (back) and running back Cedric Peerman (hip) also are probable, while linebacker Vontaze Burfict (knee) and defensive end Margus Hunt (ankle) have been declared out.
