CINCINNATI BENGALS NEWS

Orlando Brown Jr. - Unlikely to play in Week 9 Brown (knee) is doubtful to play in Week 9 versus the Raiders, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Brown suffered a sprained right knee in team's win over the Browns in Week 7 and he suffered blow to the same knee in Week 8 against Philadelphia. He now appears to be likely to miss his first game of 2024 and in his absence, Cody Ford is on track to draw the start at left tackle versus Las Vegas.

Geno Stone - Questionable for Week 9 Stone (shin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Stone popped up on the Bengals' injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a shin issue. He then downgraded to a DNP on Friday, which suggests he could be on the wrong side of questionable ahead of Week 9. If Stone is unable to suit up Sunday, expect Tycen Anderson or Jordan Battle to start alongside Vonn Bell as Cincinnati's top safeties.

Charlie Jones - Questionable for Sunday Jones (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The second-year wide receiver from Purdue downgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he could be trending toward not playing Sunday. If Jones can't play through his groin issue in Week 9, Chase Brown and Trenton Irwin are expected to take over as the Bengals' top kick and punt returners, respectively.

Chase Brown - Added touches likely with Moss hurt Brown is likely to see the lion's share of touches in the Bengals backfield Sunday against the Raiders, as Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports that Zack Moss (neck) is doubtful.

Impact Brown stands to benefit from Moss's surprise addition to the injury report Friday. While Moss has been on hand to split backfield duties, Brown has played more than half of Cincinnati's offensive snaps only twice this season, and Brown was on the field for 48 percent of snaps in Week 8 against the Eagles compared to Moss's 52 percent. If the Bengals continue to distrust Brown's pass protection, that could create an opportunity for Trayveon Williams to play a meaningful role against the Raiders as well.

Zack Moss - Doubtful for Sunday Moss is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders after missing practice Friday due to a neck injury, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Moss practiced fully both Wednesday and Thursday, but after missing Friday's session, the running back is trending toward missing Sunday's contest. If he is out versus Las Vegas, Chase Brown would be in line to lead the Bengals' Week 9 backfield, with Trayveon Williams in reserve and Kendall Milton a likely practice squad elevation.

Tee Higgins - Doubtful for Sunday Higgins (quad) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Ben Baby of ESPN.com and Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer report.

Impact Higgins, who has been unable to practice week, is thus trending toward a second straight absence. If he is indeed out this weekend, WRs Jermaine Burton and Trenton Irwin should have added Week 9 opportunities working alongside Ja'Marr Chase (who logged 11 targets in Higgins' absence last Sunday) and Andrei Iosivas, with TE Mike Gesicki (eight targets in Week 8) also a candidate to remain busy versus Las Vegas.

Tee Higgins - Not seen at Friday's practice Higgins (quad) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With Higgins also having missed Wednesday and Thursday's practices, his status for Sunday's game against the Raiders looks cloudy. The Bengals' upcoming injury report will reveal whether Higgins has any chance of playing this weekend, but if he remains sidelined versus Las Vegas, added Week 9 snaps would be available for Jermaine Burton and Trenton Irwin.

Charlie Jones - Pops up on injury report Jones (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones was able to practice in full Wednesday, but he was limited during Thursday's session, indicating that he may have picked up a groin injury during practice. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but Friday's practice report should provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Raiders. Jones has served as the Bengals' primary return man this season, but if he's unable to play, Chase Brown and Trenton Irwin would be the top candidates to handle kickoff and punt return duties Sunday.

Tee Higgins - Still missing practice Higgins (quad) isn't practicing Thursday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The report does note that Higgins, who didn't practice Wednesday either, was present Thursday for rehab work. The wideout thus has one more chance to practice in advance of Sunday's game against the Raiders, but if Higgins is out this weekend, Jermaine Burton and Trenton Irwin would be in line to see added snaps, as they did in Week 8 when Higgins was inactive.

Jermaine Burton - More snaps coming soon? Bengals QB Joe Burrow said Wednesday that Burton deserves more playing time, ESPN's Ben Baby reports.

Impact Burton played a career-high 41 percent of snaps in Sunday's 37-17 loss to Philadelphia, catching one of three targets for 41 yards while running 16 routes (42 percent share). That was with Tee Higgins (quad) out of action, however, rather than a case of Burton taking playing time away from No. 3 receiver Andrei Iosivas, who has been targeted on just 11.7 percent of his routes while producing 7.0 YPT and 0.79 yards per route. Iosivas has been one of the least productive regulars in the league at his position, perhaps opening the door for Burton -- a rookie third-round pick -- to take on a larger role in the second half of the season. It's unclear if Higgins will be back for Sunday's home game against the Raiders.
