Vonn Bell reveals DJ Reader’s in-game trash talk to Derrick Henry

Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle DJ Reader doesn’t get a ton of attention on a national level despite his game-changing presence in the middle of the unit.

Reader was, as expected, a major part of the team’s win over the Titans last weekend, a win in which bruising running back Derrick Henry could only muster 38 yards on 17 carries — giving him a 2.2 per-carry average.

Bengals cornerback Eli Apple hilariously jabbed at the Titans while praising Reader’s performance on social media.

But perhaps funnier is a story recounted by safety Vonn Bell, who revealed an in-game exchange between Reader and Henry.

Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media captured the quote:

If Henry didn’t know before, he probably does now. And with more showings like this, the national audience might just join Henry in that awareness.
