Cincinnati Bengals tight end CFEBRUARY 13, 2022 • Associated Press
Suiting up for Super Bowl Uzomah (knee) is listed as active for Super Bowl LVI against the Rams on Sunday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Since suffering an MCL sprain in the AFC Championship Game back on Jan. 30, Uzomah was held out of practice entirely during the first week of Super Bowl prep, only to manage a limited session this past Thursday before upgrading to full Friday. Despite entering the weekend as questionable to play Sunday, both the tight end and coach Zac Taylor expressed optimism along the way that Uzomah would be available. Indeed, after taking part in pregame warmups -- per Goldsmith -- Uzomah will suit up in the biggest contest of the Bengals' campaign. In 19 appearances (including playoffs) this season, Uzomah averaged 4.2 targets per game en route to a 62-628-6 stat line.

Listed as questionable, should play Uzomah (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Super Bowl against the Rams, though he was a full practice participant Friday, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site repor...
Impact Uzomah is the lone Bengal with a game designation on the final injury report, and coach Zac Taylor said Friday that he expects the tight end to play, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Should Uzomah deal with a late setback or have his role scaled back on account of the MCL sprain, Drew Sample would be next in line for snaps and targets at tight end. If Uzomah plays, as expected, the Bengals' inactive list will solely consist of healthy scratches ahead of the 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday evening.

Expected to practice again Uzomah (knee) is expected to participate in Friday's practice and is trending toward playing in Sunday's Super Bowl against the Rams, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Impact Uzomah returned to practice Thursday for the first time since spraining his left MCL in the AFC Championship game back on Jan. 30 and in the process was listed as a limited participant by the Bengals. Friday's session is slated to be lighter than Thursday's practice, but as long as the tight end avoids any setbacks he appears to be moving in the right direction in advance of Sunday's contest. However, at this stage, it seems likely that Uzomah will head into the weekend officially listed as questionable by Cincinnati.

Back at practice Uzomah (knee) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Uzomah's limited session Thursday marked the first time he's been able to practice since spraining his left MCL in the AFC Championship game back on Jan. 30. For his part, coach Zac Taylor previously relayed to Baby that Uzomah will continue to be evaluated throughout the week, and it seems likely that the Bengals' top tight end -- who logged a 49-493-5 stat line in 16 regular-season games -- will approach Sunday's Super Bowl against the Rams officially listed as questionable.

Impact Uzomah did rehab work over the weekend and said Monday that he anticipates playing in the Super Bowl, but he'll still go down as a non-participant on the fourth consecutive practice report. He'll have chances Thursday and Friday to log some on-field activity before the Bengals release their final injury report ahead of Sunday. If Uzomah is unavailable this weekend, Drew Sample likely will find himself in a three-down role at tight end, which was the case after Uzomah's early exit in the AFC Championship Game against Kansas City.
