GENO ATKINS NEWS

Sitting out Week 3 Atkins (shoulder) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Atkins will miss a third straight game to begin the 2020 season. Coach Zac Taylor said Atkins is making solid progress, so perhaps he'll be ready for Week 4's matchup against the Jaguars. For the time being, Mike Daniels (groin) is expected to return to the lineup and start at defensive tackle versus the Eagles.

Misses practice Wednesday Atkins (shoulder) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Atkins is hoping to shake off this injury and make his season debut Week 3 versus the Eagles, but he's trending in the wrong direction to begin the week. If he can practice in some capacity Thursday, however, that would be an encouraging sign. DT Christian Covington would likely start again if Atkins or DT Mike Daniels (groin) are both inactive.

Side work Monday Atkins (shoulder) was on the field for Monday's practice but without his helmet, instead working on the side, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports.

Impact A practice like this following a Thursday game typically has less intensity anyhow, so Atkins' lack of full participation isn't necessarily dispositive of his chances of playing Sunday against the Eagles.

Chance at Week 3 return Coach Zac Taylor said there's "a chance" Atkins (shoulder) could make his season debut at Philadelphia in Week 3, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Bengals were without both Atkins and Mike Daniels (groin) during Thursday's loss to the Browns, in which Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt combined for an average of 6.6 yards on 32 carries. If Atkins is indeed able to suit up Week 3 after having begun the season with back-to-back absences, his presence will provide a notable boost to Cincinnati's run defense.

Won't play on TNF Atkins (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Browns, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Atkins and fellow DT Mike Daniels (groin) both out, the Bengals will need Christian Covington and Andrew Brown to handle interior snaps alongside big-money offseason signing D.J. Reader. It's cause for a matchup upgrade for Baker Mayfield, Nick Chubb and the rest of the Cleveland offense, though O-line injuries could essentially negate the impact, with LT Jedrick Wills (shin) and RT Jack Conklin (finger) both missing practice time for the Browns this week.

Dealing with injury Atkins (shoulder) didn't suit up in Wednesday's practice.

Impact It's unclear how the veteran suffered the injury, but the fact that he didn't take part at all is a negative sign for his Week 1 availability. Mike Daniels (groin) also missed practice Wednesday, so if either or both miss time, duties would shift to just D.J. Reader, Christian Covington and Andrew Brown on the interior of the defensive line in Week 1.
