Bengals CB Darqueze Dennard Needs Shoulder Surgery, Out For Season

ESPN’s Adam Schefter has confirmed that Bengals CB Darqueze Dennard will, in fact, be undergoing shoulder surgery and miss the remainder of the 2015 season.

• Ian Rapoport reported earlier in that the Bengals feared Dennard suffered a “serious” shoulder injury Sunday night against the Cardinals.

Cincinnati will likely place him on season-ending injured reserve in the coming and add someone to their roster.
