Chase Brown - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Officially inactive Saturday Brown (ankle) is inactive for Saturday's game at Pittsburgh.

Impact Brown suffered a right ankle sprain near the end of regulation of last Saturday's overtime win versus the Broncos. Despite the running back not practicing during Week 18 prep, there was some hope that he'd be available this Saturday, as offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher noted to Ben Baby of ESPN.com on Monday. Officially listed as questionable, Brown's availability was subject to a game-day decision, per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer via coach Zac Taylor. During his pregame warmup, Brown's right ankle was heavily taped, per Bridget Condon of NFL Network, but his attempts to cut on the ankle seemingly didn't go well, according to Condon. With his lack of availability now confirmed for Saturday's contest, Brown will hand off the Bengals backfield to Khalil Herbert, who will be backed up by Trayveon Williams and Kendall Milton.

Trending toward absence Saturday Brown (ankle) isn't expected to play Saturday at Pittsburgh, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Brown emerged from last Saturday's overtime victory against the Broncos with a sprained right ankle, which didn't allow him to practice during Week 18 prep. Still, the Bengals gave him a chance to suit up this weekend by listing him as questionable on their final injury report Thursday. In the end, though, Brown went through a pregame workout that may not have gone well when he attempted to cut, per Bridget Condon of NFL Network. Cincinnati will confirm Brown's status once they post its inactive list about 90 minutes before a 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but it appears as if Khalil Herbert will be the team's lead running back Saturday.

Gets questionable tag for Saturday Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Steelers.

Impact After suffering what's believed to be a mild right high-ankle sprain in last Saturday's 30-24 overtime win over the Broncos, Brown was listed as a non-participant for each of the Bengals' three practices in Week 18. Despite the lack of on-field activity this week, the Bengals aren't closing the door on him being available in a critical game in Saturday, as Cincinnati will need a win plus Broncos and Dolphins losses Sunday to punch their ticket to the postseason. Per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer, head coach Zac Taylor suggested earlier Thursday that Brown is shaping up as a game-day decision for Saturday, with official word on the running back's status set to arrive when the Bengals release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8 p.m. ET kickoff. If Brown can't play Saturday or is available only in a limited capacity, Khalil Herbert would likely be in store for a big role out of the backfield.

Works with trainers Thursday Brown (ankle) was spotted working out with trainers during Thursday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Brown, who didn't participate in Tuesday's walk-through session and didn't practice Wednesday, thus is trending toward another 'DNP' listing Thursday. The Bengals' upcoming injury report will reveal the running back's game status for Saturday's game against the Steelers, which Cincinnati needs to win in order to have a chance to qualify for the postseason.

Impact Brown also missed a walk-through practice Tuesday, after injuring his ankle late in the fourth quarter of an eventual overtime win over the Broncos on Saturday. Khalil Herbert played every snap on offense after Brown's departure and could now get a big workload this Saturday against Pittsburgh if Brown doesn't play.

Sits out walk-through practice Brown (ankle) didn't participate Tuesday in the Bengals' walk-through practice, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Impact Brown is tending to what's believed to be a mild right high-ankle sprain, which he suffered late in this past Saturday's 30-24 overtime win over the Broncos. Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher said Monday that he's hopeful that Brown will be ready to play in Saturday's regular-season finale in Pittsburgh, but the running back may need to resume practicing in some fashion by Thursday in order for that to become a possibility. If Brown is forced to sit out the Week 18 contest, Khalil Herbert would likely serve as the Bengals' top option out of the backfield.

Impact Pitcher added that he believes that Brown, who sprained his ankle in this past Saturday's overtime win over the Broncos, is "going to work really hard to be out there for us." The 8-8 Bengals head into Week 18 still in contention for a playoff spot, so having Brown available would be a major boost to the team's offense in a must-win scenario. If, however, Brown is limited or out this weekend, Khalil Herbert would be in line for added opportunities versus Pittsburgh.

Could play in Week 18 Brown, who is dealing with a right ankle sprain, has a chance to play next weekend against the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Brown was hurt during Saturday's 30-24 overtime win over the Broncos, but according to Rapoport, the running back's ankle injury is not considered major. Added context regarding Brown's Week 18 status will arrive once the Bengals resume practice, but in the event that he's limited or out versus Pittsburgh, Khalil Herbert would be next in line for work in Cincinnati's backfield.

Dealing with sprained ankle Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said following Saturday's 30-24 overtime win over Denver that Brown is dealing with a right ankle sprain, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Brown's injury occurred late in the fourth quarter as he slid near the Broncos' goal line in an attempt to avoid the end zone in order to run time off the clock. Cincinnati was able to pull out the must-win game in OT, but Brown was ruled out before the the final points were scored. When asked about Brown's injury after the game, Taylor stated, "I just know it's an ankle sprain, we'll see from there," per Pelissero. The Bengals remain alive in the playoff race, but it's unclear if they'll have their No. 1 running back for next weekend's regular-season finale versus Pittsburgh.

Ruled out of Saturday's game Brown won't return to Saturday's game against the Broncos due to a right ankle injury.

Impact Brown had his right leg bent under him as he slid just before the goal line inside of the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. He got to his feet but took only a few steps before falling back to the turf. After a few minutes, Brown made his way to the sideline but had a clear limp as he moved about before being ruled out. Khalil Herbert will man the backfield for the Bengals for the rest of overtime.

Over 100 total yards in win Brown rushed 18 times for 91 yards and brought in all three targets for 18 yards in the Bengals' 24-6 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Impact Brown was the only Bengals running back to log a carry and was typically efficient while also carrying out a modest role in the passing game. The standout second-year pro has at least 70 rushing yards in four of the last five games and multiple receptions in all but one game this season, affording him a very safe fantasy floor heading into a Week 17 home matchup against the Broncos on Saturday afternoon.

Rushing and receiving TD in Week 15 Brown rushed 25 times for 97 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Titans.

Impact Brown scored his fourth receiving touchdown of the season on a six-yard catch in the first quarter and added his seventh rushing touchdown on a five-yard run with 1:09 remaining in the fourth quarter. The 2023 third-round pick also came just three yards shy of his second career 100-yard rushing performance. Brown has excelled in the lead role with seven total touchdowns in his last seven games, and he'll look to keep rolling in Week 16 against the Browns.

Scores ninth TD Monday Brown rushed 14 times for 58 yards while catching six of eight targets for 65 receiving yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-20 win over Dallas.

Impact Brown scored his ninth touchdown of the season off a lengthy reception Monday, but the play needed a successful challenge to overrule the referees marking the back out at the three-yard line. The 24-year-old got a highlight moment by leaping into the Salvation Army holiday pot at AT&T Stadium, paying homage to Ezekiel Elliott's touchdown celebration back in 2016. Brown has scored all nine of his touchdowns over the Bengals' last 10 games, making him a strong fantasy asset heading in to a soft matchup against the Titans on Sunday.

Solid game on limited touches Brown rushed the ball 12 times for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers. He added three receptions on three targets for 30 yards.

Impact Brown looked to be in for a huge game as he accounted for 54 rushing yards and a score on the Bengals' second offensive possession. However, Cincinnati found itself chasing the lead for much of the second half, which led to Brown getting only four carries in the final two quarters. Nevertheless, he remains the clear lead back and has now found the end zone or topped 100 yards from scrimmage in five consecutive matchups.

Goes for 143 yards on 27 touches Brown carried the ball 22 times for 86 yards while catching five of seven targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Brown continues to be the bell cow for Cincinnati's backfield, surrendering no carries to fellow running backs while producing 143 yards on 27 total touches. The sophomore out of Illinois failed to extend a modest three-game touchdown streak, but its hard to scoff at this kind of production from a player that was likely snagged off the wire early in the fantasy season. Brown will enter Cincinnati's bye week with 957 yards from scrimmage and seven total touchdowns in as many games played (12) as his rookie season.

Logs 22 touches in loss Brown rushed 13 times for 42 yards and a touchdown and secured nine of 11 targets for 52 yards in the Bengals' 35-34 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night. He also lost a fumble.

Impact Brown once again filled the lead-back role and was the only Bengals running back to record a rush attempt, but he was nearly as involved as a receiver due to game script. The second-year back finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets behind Ja'Marr Chase, and he was able to post his fifth rushing touchdown of the season on a one-yard run to cap off the opening possession of the game. Brown will eventually begin sharing touches with the recently acquired Khalil Herbert, but he should continue spearheading the ground attack in a Week 11 road battle against the Chargers on Sunday night, Nov. 17.
