Overview

  • Coach Zac Taylor said Friday that Noah Fant cleared the NFL concussion protocol and will play Sunday against Detroit.
  • Fant practiced fully Thursday for the first time since leaving the Week 3 loss to the Vikings with a head injury.
  • Despite limited action, he has 12 receptions, second-most on the team, and one of Cincinnati's five receiving touchdowns.
  • Joe Burrow remains on injured reserve with turf toe, leaving Jake Browning at quarterback as the offense seeks stability.
  • Wide receiver Charlie Jones is listed as questionable with an Achilles injury, and defensive end Shemar Stewart will miss a third straight game with an ankle injury.
