Tee Higgins headlines final injury report of the season for Bengals

The final injury report of the season has arrived for the Bengals.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon was one of the biggest names on the injury report before the team’s season finale against the Cleveland Browns.

But it’s Tee Higgins, not Mixon, who headlines the actual final injury report.

Here’s the full list the Bengals issued on Friday:

  • WR Tee Higgins (Doubtful)
  • CB Chidobe Awuzie (Questionable)
  • CB Jalen Davis (Questionable)

Mixon initially joined the list on the second edition due to illness.

Onlookers will notice that star wideout Ja’Marr Chase isn’t on the list. He got upgraded to a full practice on Thursday, with him revealing in interviews that he’ll play through the injury.

Of note, Chase also talked about a possible extension for Tee Higgins and whether or not the injured shoulder will require surgery.

As for Higgins, he’s slated for free agency this summer, so there’s a slim chance he’s played his last snap with the Bengals, barring a surprising turnaround this weekend.

Joe Mixon added to Browns vs. Bengals injury report for Week 18

A new face on the Week 18 Browns vs. Bengals injury report.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon joined the injury report ahead of the season finale against the Cleveland Browns.

Citing an illness, Mixon joined wideout Tee Higgins as the only DNP statuses:

  • RB Joe Mixon (DNP)
  • WR Tee Higgins (DNP)
  • WR Ja’Marr Chase (FP)
  • QB Jake Browning (FP)
  • CB Chidobe Awuzie (LP)
  • CB Jalen Davis (LP)

Of note, Ja’Marr Chase got upgraded to a full practice on Thursday, which coincided with him telling reporters that he’ll play no matter what.

Quarterback Jake Browning is a new arrival to the injury report with a foot issue, too, though he went in full.

With Higgins missing another day, it’s safe to think he’ll miss the finale, barring a massive turnaround on Friday.

Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins top first Browns vs. Bengals injury report

Two major names on the injury report for the Bengals before they play the Browns.

The first edition of the injury report for the Cincinnati Bengals before Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns is one of the cleaner sheets of the season.

As expected, two big names top the list:

  • WR Tee Higgins (DNP)
  • WR Ja’Marr Chase (LP)
  • CB Chidobe Awuzie (LP)
  • CB Jalen Davis (LP)

Before the injury report went live, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor noted that Ja’Marr Chase is farther along in his injury recovery than fellow wideout Tee Higgins.

From the sounds of Taylor’s previous comments about winning no matter what against the Browns, it seems like fans will see at least one of the star wideouts on the field to close the season.

Ja’Marr Chase headlines final Bengals vs. Chiefs injury report

The final Bengals vs. Chiefs injury report is here.

The Cincinnati Bengals list just two players on the final injury report before this weekend’s important clash with the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17.

As expected, one of those names is star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase:

  • WR Ja’Marr Chase (Questionable)
  • CB Jalen Davis (Questionable)

Not counting the massive names on injured reserve, of course, it’s a pretty clean bill of health for a Bengals team looking at two must-win games in order to keep playoff hopes alive.

Chase technically has a 50-50 status and Zac Taylor isn’t ready to say he’ll play, but the gradual ramp-up throughout the week — and Chase’s trash talk about the Chiefs — sure seems to hint that he’ll be ready to go.

Ja’Marr Chase upgraded on latest Bengals vs. Chiefs injury report

The Bengals get good news on the latest injury report.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase laid some serious smack talk against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday while also getting upgraded on his team’s injury report.

On the injury report front, Chase went from a DNP to a limited status on the second list of the week:

  • WR Ja’Marr Chase (Limited)
  • TE Mitchell Wilcox (Limited)
  • CB Jalen Davis (Limited)
  • DE Cam Sample (FP)
  • CB Cam-Taylor Britt (FP)

The Bengals were mum on Chase’s status earlier in the week, but with the way he came out firing with the bulletin board material and got an upgrade here, it seems a given he’ll be on the field in Kansas City.

Ja’Marr Chase a DNP on first Bengals vs. Chiefs injury report

Ja’Marr Chase headlined the first Bengals vs. Chiefs injury report.

The Cincinnati Bengals have remained mum on the status of star wideout Ja’Marr Chase to start Week 17, continuing the trend that held strong over the holiday.

While onlookers saw Chase at practice on Wednesday doing some rehab work, he officially was a DNP on the first injury report of the week before the team takes on the Kansas City Chiefs:

  • WR Ja’Marr Chase (DNP)
  • CB Jalen Davis (Limited)
  • DE Cam Sample (Limited)
  • CB Cam-Taylor Britt (FP)

The Bengals have largely said Chase is a day-to-day situation, so gradually upgrading over the next two injury reports would indicate he could play against the Chiefs.

And on the CTB front, the te[anyclip-media thumbnail=”undefined” playlistId=”undefined” content=”dW5kZWZpbmVk”][/anyclip-media]am just designated him to return from injured reserve, so the full participation suggests he’ll be on the field in Kansas City over the weekend.

Ja’Marr Chase is only Cincinnati player on final Bengals vs. Steelers injury report

Ja’Marr Chase is the only Bengal on the final Bengals vs. Steelers injury report.

The Cincinnati Bengals won’t have star wideout Ja’Marr Chase on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Chase is the lone Bengals player on the injury report at all for the Bengals:

  • WR Ja’Marr Chase (Out)

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor ruled out Chase on Thursday before the report’s release, telling onlookers it simply wasn’t going to happen this week.

Chase suffered a shoulder injury during last week’s win over the Vikings and the latest insider report suggests he might miss next week against the Chiefs, too.

With Chase down, Trenton Irwin and rookie Andrei Iosivas could get some run with Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd against the Steelers defense on the road.

The Bengals had six other players upgraded to full practice mid-week who don’t even get listed on the final report, including Alex Cappa and Chase Brown.

Ja’Marr Chase headlines second Bengals vs. Steelers injury report

Ja’Marr Chase and the rest of the Bengals vs. Steelers injury report.

The second injury report of the week for the Cincinnati Bengals didn’t feature much difference from the first.

As has been the case since last weekend, Ja’Marr Chase is the centerpiece of attention and he was the only player who didn’t go:

  • WR Ja’Marr Chase (DNP)
  • RB Chase Brown (FP)
  • G Alex Cappa (FP)
  • DE Cam Sample (FP)

This comes a day after Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said the team isn’t ruling Chase out for the Week 16 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. A new report followed that, though, and said Chase could miss at least two games.

Outside of the obvious importance that is having one of the best wide receivers on the planet on the field against the Steelers, the rest of the injury report shapes up nicely.

Bengals make late additions to final Vikings vs. Bengals injury report

The Bengals added two names to the injury report before kickoff.

The Cincinnati Bengals looked about as healthy as it gets for a mid-December game on the final injury report before the team’s Week 15 encounter with the Minnesota Vikings.

Unfortunately for the Bengals, though, the team had to update the final injury report the day after it was issued, adding offensive lineman Jackson Carman and tight end Drew Sample to the list as “questionable” due to illnesses.

While Carman is merely deep depth, Sample missing the game would he quite the setback for the offense.

That new-look offense that is confusing defenses hinges a lot of its pass protection and run-game success on Sample’s blocking ability, so the team will have to hope that whatever’s ailing the tight end clears up by kickoff time on Saturday.

Vikings vs. Bengals final injury report provides Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson updates

Injury updates on Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson.

After a few days of wondering about the status of wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals fans can rest easy.

Thank the final injury report ahead of Saturday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.

There, the Bengals list just one player on the entire report:

  • LB Joe Bachie (Questionable)

Chase was listed as a DNP for the first practice of the week, which was an estimated report, due to a small issue he suffered near the start of last week’s win over the Colts. He was upgraded on the second injury report before not being listed here.

As for the Vikings, star wideout Justin Jefferson is listed as questionable despite him saying he’d be good to go for Saturday. Vikings starting running back Alexander Mattison has been ruled out.
