Practicing in full
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 2:18 PM
Turner (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Turner was injured in last Sunday's overtime win against the Titans and was unable to return. He avoided a serious injury and will be ready to do battle with Drake London in Spain on Sunday. |

Placed on IR
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 7:35 PM
Howell (wrist) was placed on injured reserve by the Bengals on Tuesday.
Analysis: Howell suffered a right wrist injury during Sunday's overtime win against the Titans, and he will now be forced to miss at least four contests as a result. The defensive lineman has already undergone surgery, per Mike Petraglia of CLNSCincy.com, and in Howell's absence, Shemar Stewart will stand to see an increase in workload at defensive end. |
Evan McPherson Evan McPherson Hits all five extra points
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 9:15 PM
McPherson made all five extra-point attempts in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Titans.
Analysis: For the second straight week, the Bengals' kicker did not attempt a field goal but connected on all five of his extra-point tries. He's certainly getting scoring attempts in the high-flying Bengals offense, though a few more field-goal tries would boost his fantasy value. |
Samaje Perine Samaje Perine Totals 19 yards against Tennessee
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 9:07 PM
Perine rushed four times for 10 yards and caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 43-36 overtime win over the Titans.
Analysis: The Bengals were chasing the Titans on the scoreboard much of the afternoon and Chase Brown and Perine combined for just 16 carries, as Joe Burrow fired off 48 pass attempts. Perine is a touchdown-or-bust desperation RB3 in fantasy whose main value comes in the form of being Brown's backup. Cincinnati has been linked to a potential trade for a running back ahead of next week's deadline. |

Day-to-day with ankle injury
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 6:47 PM
Turner (ankle) is considered day-to-day, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reported Monday.
Analysis: Turner exited the fourth quarter of the Bengals' overtime win over the Titans on Sunday and did not return. The cornerback has strung together a remarkable season thus far, capped off with two forced fumbles in Sunday's game. If Turner can recover quickly, he will have a shot to suit up for the Bengals' showdown with the Falcons in Madrid, Spain, during Week 9. |
Colbie Young Colbie Young Goes without target in Week 8
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 9:53 AM
Young went without a target while playing 19 of the Bengals' 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 43-36 overtime win over the Titans.
Analysis: Though quarterback Joe Burrow set season highs in passing yards (462) and passing touchdowns (five), Young didn't see any involvement while the targets were highly concentrated among Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Chase Brown. The fourth-round pick out of Georgia has held a bit role so far during his rookie season, recording two catches for nine yards on two targets through five appearances. |
Mike Gesicki Mike Gesicki Reaches end zone in OT victory
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 9:04 PM
Gesicki caught four of six targets for 76 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 43-36 overtime win against the Titans.
Analysis: Gesicki was able to reach the end zone for the fifth straight game, connecting with Joe Burrow for a 25-yard score in the fourth quarter. The tight end's four catches and 76 receiving yards were both his highest totals since Week 1 versus Tampa Bay. Gesicki has now caught 17 of 24 targets for 241 yards and six scores over seven contests to open the regular season. |
Chase Brown Chase Brown Solid all-around day in OT win
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 5:38 PM
Brown rushed 12 times for 55 yards and brought in eight of nine targets for 46 yards in the Bengals' 43-36 overtime win over the Titans on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Brown led the Bengals in rushing with an efficient performance, and he finished with his best yardage total on the ground since Week 3. Brown's very busy day as a receiver was second only to his 11-catch, 71-yard effort against the Jaguars in Week 4, and his lost fumble, his second of the season, came early in the fourth quarter and led to a Titans touchdown. Brown is in line to fill his usual voluminous dual role in a Week 9 international matchup against the Falcons in Madrid next Sunday. |
Tee Higgins Tee Higgins Paces air attack in wild win
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 4:35 PM
Higgins secured 10 of 11 targets for 155 yards and two touchdowns in the Bengals' 43-36 overtime win over the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: Higgins led the Bengals' air attack in receiving yards and touchdown catches on a day when Joe Burrow threw for 462 yards and five touchdown passes overall. Higgins was responsible for a pair, making 17- and 18-yard scoring grabs in the second half. The latter erased a 36-29 deficit with 1:17 remaining in regulation to help force overtime, and Higgins now has at least 148 receiving yards in three of the last four games and a pair of TD catches in two straight. The veteran has essentially moved into a true 1-A role alongside Ja'Marr Chase in the passing attack, and Higgins will look to carry the massive momentum into a Week 9 matchup against a vulnerable Falcons secondary in Madrid next Sunday. |
Ja'Marr Chase Ja'Marr Chase First 100-yard game of season
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 4:24 PM
Chase secured 11 of 16 targets for 141 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 43-36 overtime win over the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: Chase finally struck for his first 100-yard effort of the campaign in Sunday's wild win, finishing with team-high reception and target totals, as well as runner-up status in receiving yards. Chase was also on the receiving end of one of Joe Burrow's five touchdown passes, corralling the first one of the day from 30 yards out early in the second quarter. Chase has now scored in three straight games, and after season-best totals across all three components of his receiving line Sunday, the All-Pro receiver will head into a Week 9 matchup against the Falcons in Madrid with no shortage of momentum. |
Joe Burrow Joe Burrow Six total TDs in wild win
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 3:55 PM
Burrow completed 38 of 48 passes for 462 yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions and added three carries for 10 yards and another score in the Bengals' 43-36 overtime win over the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: A Titans offense that had been mostly moribund all season unexpectedly came to life Sunday, requiring Burrow to remain aggressive throughout the afternoon. While that helped lead to his season-high three interceptions, it was also unsurprisingly a boon for his fantasy production, as the 2020 first overall pick finished with his second 400-yard performance of the season and a season-high five TD tosses. Burrow had his rapport with top receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins working throughout the afternoon, as he connected with the duo a combined 21 times for 296 yards and three touchdowns. Burrow's other two scoring strikes went to Mike Gesicki and Jack Endries, and the prolific quarterback then sealed the win himself with a nine-yard scoring run at the seven-minute mark of overtime. Burrow and the Bengals now make the transatlantic flight to Madrid, Spain, where they'll face the Falcons next Sunday in a Week 9 matchup. |

Howell (wrist) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: Howell suffered a right wrist injury during the second half and will be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest. Shemar Stewart is in line for more defensive snaps in Howell's absence. |
|
Done for Week 8
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 3:10 PM
Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Analysis: Johnson injured his ankle in the fourth quarter and will not return. Shemar Stewart should see more rotational snaps at defensive end for the rest of Sunday's contest. |
|
Won't return vs. Tennessee
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 3:08 PM
Turner (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: Turner suffered the injury in the fourth quarter and will be held out the rest of the way. DJ Ivey will see more work in the secondary in Turner's absence. |
Mitch Tinsley Mitch Tinsley Idle for Week 8
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 10:51 AM
Tinsley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Tennessee.
Analysis: Tinsley has played in each of the Bengals' last three games and has logged four catches on eight targets for 56 yards over that span. He will observe Sunday's contest from the sidelines, and his next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Falcons on Nov. 8. |
Andrei Iosivas Andrei Iosivas Making strides in recovery
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 8:48 PM
Iosivas (thumb) is making good progress in his rehab, Mike Petraglia of CLNSCincy.com reports.
Analysis: Iosivas has been on injured reserve since Sept. 26 while recovering from a torn ligament in his left thumb that required surgery. The wide receiver is reportedly on track to be available to play in Week 10 against the Steelers, and he has an outside chance of returning one week prior against the Falcons in Spain on Nov. 8, per Petraglia. |

Ja'Marr Chase Ja'Marr Chase No limitations Thursday
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 3:51 PM
Chase (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Mike Petraglia of CLNSCincy.com reports.
Analysis: After sitting out Wednesday's session, Chase assuaged any concerns regarding his availability for Sunday's game against the Titans by practicing without limitations Thursday. The star wide receiver will look to pick up the pace following what has been a slow start by his lofty standards. Chase is averaging a career-low 58.5 receiving yards per game after notching at least 76 yards per game in each of the previous five regular seasons. |

Ja'Marr Chase Ja'Marr Chase In uniform Thursday
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 12:50 PM
Chase (ankle) is in uniform for Thursday's practice, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
Analysis: Chase has resumed practicing after sitting out Wednesday's session due to a listed combination of rest/ankle. Thursday's return to action supports an earlier report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network that Chase isn't dealing with a significant ankle issue, though it remains to be seen whether the wideout is able to practice without limitations. The 4-2 Bengals will face the 1-6 Titans on Sunday. |

Ja'Marr Chase Ja'Marr Chase Expected to play against Titans
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 9:14 AM
Chase (ankle) isn't believed to be dealing with a serious injury, and he's expected to suit up Sunday against the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Chase was listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, but the injury isn't expected to keep him from taking the field Sunday. His participation in practice will still bear monitoring as the week unfolds. Chase has two chances left to resume practicing without limitations, which would put him in position to avoid a Week 8 injury designation. |

Ja'Marr Chase Ja'Marr Chase Receives maintenance for ankle Wednesday
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 3:22 PM
Chase was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury and rest, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Though Chase was absent to kick off Week 8 prep, Jay Morrison of SI.com notes that the star wideout was presumably held out for maintenance-related reasons rather than out of concern about his ankle. As long as Chase is able to get back on the field in some capacity Thursday or Friday, he should be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Titans. |
