Expected to miss extended time Reader (knee) is expected to miss an extended period of time but won't be ruled out for the remainder of the season, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Reader suffered the injury in the first half of the team's win over the Jets on Sunday and was unable to return to the contest. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but it appears like the Bengals will be without their top defensive tackle for the foreseeable future. In his absence, rookie Zachary Carter could garner an increased role moving forward.

Not ready to practice Reader (knee) was a DNP in the Bengals' estimated practice report Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Reader suffered the injury in the first half of the team's 27-12 win over the Jets on Sunday. He was unable to return, despite walking off the field under his own power. His estimated inability to practice today is magnified by the team's short week, and showdown with the Dolphins on Thursday. If Reader is unable to play, it'll be a blow to the team's defensive line, but will also lead to extra opportunities for rookie Zachary Carter.

DJ Reader Sounds Optimistic About Status After Suffering Knee Injury in Bengals' Win Over Jets Cincinnati beat New York 27-12 on Sunday

SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Won't return Sunday Readers (knee) is ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jets, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Reader went down with a knee injury after making a tackle in the first half against the Jets, though he was ultimately able to walk off under his own power, per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer. The starting defensive tackle recorded eight tackles (seven solo) over the first two games this season, and his absence will mark a substantial blow for the Bengals' defense. As a result, expect Josh Tupou to step up into a larger role against the Jets.
