MIKE DANIELS
Practice window opens The Bengals designated Daniels (elbow) for return from IR on Wednesday.
Impact Cincinnati will now have a 21-day window to evaluate Daniels at practice without him counting against the 53-man roster. He'll be eligible to be bumped to the active roster at any time during that period. When back to full health, the veteran defensive tackle will help shore up a position of need for the Bengals.

Shifts to IR The Bengals placed Daniels (elbow) on injured reserve Saturday.
Impact Daniels is ineligible to return until the Week 7 matchup against the Browns. The veteran's absence will hurt the Bengals' depth at defensive tackle, especially since Geno Atkins (shoulder) will miss a fourth straight game. For the time being, expect D.J. Reader and Christian Covington to handle a bulk of the workload while Freedom Akinmoladun and Andrew Brown rotate in.

Active Week 3 Daniels (groin) has avoided the inactive list Week 3 against Philadelphia, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Uncertain for Week 5 Daniels (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Impact Daniels was unable to practice at all this week, so the defensive tackle should be considered on the wrong side of questionable for Cincinnati's Week 3 road tilt.

Still bothered by groin injury Daniels (groin) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Impact Daniels played through a groin injury in the season-opening loss to the Chargers, but he hasn't practiced since.

Unable to practice Monday Daniels (groin) didn't participate in Monday's practice, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Daniels missed this past Thursday's game versus the Browns, and he's still unable to get on the practice field. It's early in the week so things could change when the first official practice report is revealed Wednesday, and a quick recovery would be beneficial with Geno Atkins (shoulder) still on the mend.

Won't face Browns Daniels (groin) is ruled out for Thursday's divisional contest in Cleveland, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Impact Daniels played through his groin injury Week 1 against the Chargers, but the short turnaround leading up to Thursday Night Football will now prevent him from making a second consecutive start. With Geno Atkins (shoulder) also ruled out for Week 2, Cincinnati's run defense could have significant difficulty containing Cleveland's backfield tandem of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Good to go Sunday Daniels (groin) was a full participant in Friday's practice and will play Sunday versus the Chargers.
Impact Daniels' injury caused concern when he didn't practice Wednesday, but the veteran defensive tackle is ready to make his Bengals debut Sunday. With Geno Atkins (shoulder) ruled out, Daniels is in line to start against the Chargers.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Nursing groin issue Daniels (groin) didn't suit up at Wednesday's practice.
Impact It's unclear how Daniels suffered the injury, however, it's serious enough to force him to miss valuable practice time. Geno Atkins (shoulder) 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.
