When it came to Cincinnati Bengals news before kickoff against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17, most of it boiled down to just two things:

Expert predictions and Ja’Marr Chase.

Chase was a question mark to play in Kansas City, with him providing some recent context into how and why he might be able to go despite the pain from the shoulder injury.

And when it comes to expert predictions, as expected, few expected the underdog Bengals to go on the road and get a win with a backup quarterback under center while missing some other key pieces such as DJ Reader.

Here’s a look at the must-know Bengals news, notes and quotes for December 31.

The Cincinnati Bengals wrapped an interesting week of prep before they play the Kansas City Chiefs with…more intrigue.

Most of it centered on Ja’Marr Chase.

The star wideout seemed to light the NFL world on fire with comments about the Chiefs amid his gradually escalating participation in practice as he comes back from an injury.

But Bengals head coach Zac Taylor hasn’t said whether Chase will actually play and the final injury report didn’t exactly shed further light on the situation before Sunday’s pivotal game that is laced with playoff implications.

Here’s a look at the must-know Bengals news, notes and quotes for December 30.

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.

Here’s a look at the must-know Bengals news, notes and quotes for December 26 before the team starts prepping to play the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17.

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.

Here’s a look at the must-know Bengals news, notes and quotes for December 22.

The Cincinnati Bengals inch closer to a Week 16 showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers with two major items generating the most buzz.

The Ja’Marr Chase injury and the scramble to add depth after losing DJ Reader.

That buzz suggests Chase could miss some notable time, while the Bengals finally appeared to find the desired depth by making a waiver wire claim.

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.

Here’s a look at the must-know Bengals news, notes and quotes for December 21.

The Cincinnati Bengals got back to practice on Tuesday before the December 23 AFC North showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

That meant the team getting back to practice and some notes from that, plus guys like Bengals head coach Zac Taylor getting in front of cameras for interviews.

As expected, the biggest news item of the day was the latest in the Ja’Marr Chase injury saga.

But also of major note was the Bengals attempting to make a claim on the waiver wire to bolster a position of need before this season-ending stretch.

Here’s a look at the must-know Bengals news, notes and quotes for December 20.

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.
