The Cincinnati Bengals were off on Tuesday before starting prep in earnest for the Week 17 showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fittingly, as always seems to be the case lately, that game against the Chiefs carries huge implications for the Bengals, as their last two games of the season are must-win scenarios if they’re to sneak into the playoffs.

Easier said than done given how the team looked in Pittsburgh over the holiday, but also not impossible given how they rebounded after the loss to those same Steelers roughly a month ago.

Here’s a look at the must-know Bengals news, notes and quotes for December 27.

The Cincinnati Bengals had a rollercoaster of a holiday, losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers and seemingly dashing their playoff hopes before seeing AFC chaos potentially help keep them afloat.

As all of this was unfolding around the holiday, the Bengals also had roster moves of note and the always-updating draft order was a point of interest.

Plus, some honest words from Mike Hilton about the team’s struggles against the AFC North really gained some major attention.

The Cincinnati Bengals wrapped the Ja’Marr Chase injury saga for at least one week by ruling the star wide receiver out for the Week 16 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

And while that seemed like it would be the only notable news of the day for the team during an otherwise quiet week, an unexpected surprise popped up:

A Joe Burrow injury update.

Said update finally revealed the exact nature of the injury and even provided an estimated return timetable for the franchise quarterback, painting a clearer picture about where things stand for player and team.

While nothing on Chase is official just yet, the final injury report is the biggest remaining item yet to go final before kickoff on Saturday in Pittsburgh.

The Cincinnati Bengals have plenty of news and questions buzzing around them before they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16.

Much of the conversation around the team centers on the aftermath of last week’s win over the Minnesota Vikings. There are still questions about the availability of Ja’Marr Chase after his injury. And a look back at that game reveals some key depth pieces stepping up big time.

Plus, there’s plenty of buzz around those Steelers, too. Not only will they miss a star defender when playing the Bengals next weekend, the team has decided to make a dramatic quarterback change that will impact Cincinnati, too.

The Cincinnati Bengals are still alive in the playoff race, though not without some must-know details for context.

While the Bengals took care of business with a win over the Minnesota Vikings, the rest of the AFC didn’t do much to help their postseason aspirations, creating a complicated picture.

And while they took care of that business, they lost several key players in the process — headlined by star wideout JaMarr Chase.

Add in some other things like the continued hot streak for Jake Browning and it makes for a pretty busy mid-December news outlook.

The biggest news around the Cincinnati Bengals as they approach a Week 15 game against the Minnesota Vikings is the surprise injury status of star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.

Luckily for Bengals fans, it’s pretty quiet as a result, considering those two items boil down to Chase’s injury not sounding all that serious and the solution to playoff woes simply being keep winning.
