Cincinnati Bengals Injuries

Taylor signed a one-year contract with the Bengals in early April. The cornerback is set to play a key reserve role in the team's secondary once he can return to the field. Taylor will need to miss at least the first four games of the regular season on IR before becoming eligible to return to the Bengals' active roster.

Kattus suffered an undisclosed injury before training camp that rendered him unable to participate in the Bengals' first week of activities. The tight end has since passed his physical and was able to practice with the team Thursday. Now healthy, the undrafted free agent out of Kentucky will have to make up for lost time and make an impact to have any chance of making the 53-man roster.

Jenkins participated in 32 defensive snaps, good for 48 percent of Cincinnati's total in Thursday's game. The defensive tackle missed the last three games of the 2025 regular season due to an ankle injury, but he appears to have since recovered. The 2024 second-rounder has a hard path to playing time this year, with the addition of Dexter Lawrence set to knock his position on the depth chart down further.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor indicated Friday that Burrow -- who was limited in practices Wednesday and Thursday before finishing the week with a full session -- was "good to go" for Week 2, and the quarterback remains on track to play. Burrow's availability for Sunday's game will be confirmed when the Bengals reveal their inactive list at 11:30 a.m. ET.

Chase limped off the practice field on Aug. 25 and was diagnosed with a hyperextended left knee. Prior to Monday, he hasn't logged any visible on-field work in the meantime, so his ability to suit up indicates he'll at least be able to get involved in individual drills. The Bengals will be posting their first Week 1 injury report Wednesday, at which point his activity level will became known as the team prepares for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Coach Zac Taylor relayed last Tuesday that Higgins was tending to a bruised heel, which sidelined the wide receiver since then, so his ability to suit up Monday generally is a step in the right direction. Cincinnati will be posting it's first injury report of the season Wednesday, after which Higgins' activity level will become clearer as the team preps for Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Buccaneers.

Per Conway, Burrow threw only one pass during media viewing and was primarily working on handoffs at Wednesday's practice. Burrow later spoke with the media and mentioned dealing with back stiffness, but he added that he'll play Week 2. He didn't confirm whether he'll practice for the remainder of the week, however. Joe Flacco figures to get increased work with the starters in practice, but at this stage it appears Burrow will be able to suit up Sunday.

Stewart returned to practice for the first time since hyperextending his knee late last month. While the 2025 first-round pick's status for the team's Week 1 matchup versus Tampa Bay is still up in the air, his presence would provide a big boost to the Bengals' defense if he manages to suit up.

The rookie sixth-rounder was set to play a reserve role on the Bengals' offensive line in 2026. Parker will now need to miss at least the first four games of the regular season on IR before becoming eligible to return to the active roster.

Chase downplayed the injury that forced him from Tuesday's session, but he will get at least one day to rest and recover. The report notes that Chase "was not sporting any protective equipment," which backs up his stance that he is dealing only with a minor setback.

Hill's return to helmet and pads may mean he is on the cusp of being cleared to return from the active/PUP list. The defensive tackle has been absent with an unknown injury since late July, and a return to padded practice is a good sign as to where he is in his recovery.

Stewart was carted off Wednesday due to a left leg injury. The 2025 first-round pick didn't escape unscathed, but this outcome is a positive one given initial fears of a long-term absence. Stewart has a chance to recover before the Bengals kick off regular-season play Sept. 13 against the Buccaneers.
