JOE BACHIE NEWS

Out for rest of regular season The Bengals placed Bachie (groin) on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Bachie suffered a groin injury against Dallas this past Monday, and head coach Zac Taylor said early this week he'd be out multiple games. That's now official, as Bachie will be required to sit out the remainder of the regular season while on IR. Bachie could theoretically return for the playoffs, but the Bengals are very unlikely to qualify given their current 5-8 record.

Out again Week 15 Bachie (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt against Tennessee.

Impact Bachie hurt his groin on Monday Night Football against Dallas, and head coach Zac Taylor indicated Wednesday that the linebacker is facing a multi-game absence. As such, it's no surprise that Bachie has been deemed out ahead of Sunday's matchup. His absence will be felt primarily on special teams, as Bachie has logged just 33 defensive snaps over 12 games this season.

In line for multi-week absence Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that Bachie (groin) is dealing with an adductor injury and is expected to miss multiple games, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Bachie seems like a potential IR candidate due to the adductor injury he sustained during Monday night's win over the Cowboys. If Bachie indeed misses multiple games, fellow reserve linebackers Shaka Heyward and Maema Njongmeta will benefit from increased opportunities, beginning Sunday on the road against Tennessee.

Set for return Week 13 Bachie (hip) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

Impact Bachie missed Cincinnati's Week 11 loss to the Chargers due to a hip issue, but the team's Week 12 bye gave him the time to recover enough to return to the field. The veteran linebacker's presence would typically primarily impact the special-teams unit, as Bachie has logged just 18 defensive snaps over 10 games this season. However, he could be asked to step into a more significant role Sunday if Logan Wilson, who is questionable due to knee injury, is unable to suit up.

Won't suit up in Week 11 Bachie (hip) was downgraded to out for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, safd reports.

Impact Bachie was initially deemed doubtful heading into the weekend, but he has since been ruled out for Sunday's contest. He's played a rotational role on defense throughout the campaign, topping out at seven defense snaps in Week 9. As such, Bachie's absence Sunday will primarily impact the Bengals' special-teams unit.

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Sunday Bachie (hip) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bachie appears to have sustained a hip injury in Cincinnati's Week 10 loss to the Ravens, and he's likely a longshot to play Sunday after logging three consecutive DNPs during the Bengals' week of practice. Undrafted rookie Maema Njongmeta could see increased work on Cincinnati's defense as a rotational linebacker if Bachie is sidelined in Week 11 as expected.

Reups with Cincinnati Bachie agreed to a one-year deal with the Bengals on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Bachie appeared in 10 games last year after missing the start of the season due to a knee injury. The 25-year-old was a regular piece of Cincinnati's special-teams unit, recording 10 tackles along the way. He'll work to earn a regular spot among the team's linebacker rotation in 2023.

Activated from PUP list Bachie (knee) was activated from the reserve/PUP list Saturday.

Impact Bachie was placed on the PUP list after suffering a knee injury in late July. He's practiced for the entire week leading up to Cincinnati's Week 7 matchup against the Falcons and is likely to serve as a rotational linebacker and key special teamer.

Placed on PUP list Bachie (knee) was added to the active/PUP list by the Bengals on Saturday.

Impact Bachie is eligible to return from this list and practice at any point before the regular season, but he is first required to pass a physical with Cincinnati's medical staff. The linebacker is still recovering from a torn ACL suffered in Week 15 of last season, so it is likely that he'll continue to rehab throughout the course of the Bengals' training camp. Bachie recorded 30 tackles over nine games while almost perfectly splitting his snaps played between defense (156) and special teams (147) in 2021.

Activated off COVID-19 list Bachie (knee) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, but he remains on injured reserve, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Bachie, who's out for the year with an ACL injury, will now be allowed to continue his rehab at team facilities. Goldsmith reports the Bengals currently don't have a single player on the reserve/COVID-19 list heading into the AFC Championship Game.

Moved to reserve/COVID-19 list Bachie (knee) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Laurel Pfahler of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Impact The linebacker was already out for the remainder of the season after being placed on injured reserve Dec. 21 with an ACL injury, but he will now be away from the team for the time being as he goes through COVID protocols. Bachie finished the 2021 season with 30 tackles and a pass deflection over nine games.
