Overview

  • The Bengals designated Lucas Patrick to return from injured reserve, initiating a 21-day practice window after his Week 1 calf injury.
  • Patrick was limited in Wednesday’s practice, and a decision on his status for Sunday’s game against the Packers remains pending.
  • Head coach Zac Taylor named Joe Flacco the starter for Green Bay, with the offense entering at 2-3 after allowing 15 sacks and averaging 3.1 yards per rush.
  • Rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart returned to limited work after three games out with an ankle injury, while rookie left guard Dylan Fairchild did not practice due to a knee issue.
  • Tight end Drew Sample also missed practice with an ankle injury, and Pro Football Focus graded replacement guards Dalton Risner and Jalen Rivers near the bottom of their position early this season.
