Overview
- Coach Zac Taylor listed Ja'Marr Chase as questionable after he missed Friday practice with an illness, though he participated in a walkthrough following a full session Thursday.
- Shemar Stewart is doubtful with an ankle injury, putting a fourth consecutive absence in play and reducing depth opposite Trey Hendrickson.
- Left guard Dylan Fairchild is questionable after missing midweek practices; Dalton Risner would start if he cannot go, with Lucas Patrick also eligible for activation from injured reserve.
- Should Chase be unavailable, targets are expected to shift to Tee Higgins along with Andre Iosivas, Mike Gesicki and Noah Fant.
- The final designations shape Cincinnati’s plan for Sunday against the Packers as Joe Flacco makes his first start for the Bengals.
