Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Not practicing Wednesday
Chase (knee) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Chase downplayed the injury that forced him from Tuesday's session, but he will get at least one day to rest and recover. The report notes that Chase "was not sporting any protective equipment," which backs up his stance that he is dealing only with a minor setback.

Bengals' Bryan Cook: Participating in team drills again
Cook (undisclosed) participated during the Bengals' training camp practice Tuesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Cook has missed time after suffering an apparent hamstring injury earlier in August, but it now looks like he's back in football shape. Despite whether he plays in Friday's preseason game at Philadelphia, it seems like he's trending toward being available for Week 1 of the regular season, barring any setbacks.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Says he could play through knee injury
Chase (knee) said Tuesday that he could play in a game Wednesday after exiting Tuesday's practice early, Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Chase has spent Tuesday afternoon downplaying his hyperextended knee, so this seems like it will be a non-issue moving forward after he came down awkwardly at the end of practice. The star wide receiver is a cinch top-five fantasy pick as Joe Burrow's alpha wideout.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Downplays knee injury
Chase downplayed his knee injury Tuesday, saying it was a "little hyperextension," and he could've kept practicing, Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Chase came up limping at the tail end of Tuesday's session when he jumped for a deep ball and landed awkwardly. He immediately left the field and was tended to by the training staff before shooing them away and remaining on the sidelines for the remainder of practice. It sounds like Chase will be fine well in time for the Bengals' regular-season opener in a little less than three weeks.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Limps off field at Tuesday's practice
Chase (knee) limped off the field at Tuesday's practice after landing awkwardly while attempting to reel in a deep ball, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
Chase was favoring his left knee after the play in question, but he was able to walk to the sideline under his own power with trainers, per Charlie Clifford of NBC 5 Cincinnati. Potentially a major development for the Bengals offense, Chase's status should receive some clarity after Tuesday's session.

Bengals' Tahj Brooks: Reprising depth role behind Brown
Brooks carried three times for 16 yards and caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Bears.
With Chase Brown and Samaje Perine rested in the contest, Brooks was in a Saturday starting lineup that featured reserve skill players. As the coming campaign approaches, Brooks continues to slot in behind Brown and Perine on the Bengals' unofficial depth chart, but after recording just 16 carries for 45 yards and one catch for nine yards across 16 regular-season games in 2025, some uptick in volume is plausible for the second-year player out of Texas Tech, who is also in the mix for special-teams work.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Continues to back up Brown
Perine didn't see any action in Saturday's exhibition contest against the Bears.
The same applies to starting RB Chase Brown, which allowed the players looking to secure depth slotting behind the top duo to make their cases for roles ahead of Week 1. Perine is coming off a 2025 regular-season in which he recorded 382 yards and three touchdowns on 84 carries, while adding 17 catches for 87 yards. As long as Brown remains healthy, Perine has minimal fantasy lineup value, but in the event that Brown misses time for any reason, the former would likely be in line to claim enough volume to merit streaming consideration, though it's also possible 2025 sixth-rounder Tahj Brooks would also factor in.

Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Still in line for No.3 role
Iosivas is listed as the No.3 receiver on the Bengals' depth chart.
The Princeton product enters his fourth season looking to rebound from a down 2025 in which he fell short of the breakout season that saw him record six touchdowns in 2024. The Bengals have a heavily concentrated target tree centered on Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, which has limited Iosivas' week-to-week usage. He has performed poorly on targets per route run in each of the last two years, coming in under 12 percent in each campaign. Iosivas could have added competition for snaps this year, considering rookie Colbie Young's impressive showing in the preseason thus far. As it stands, Iosivas may be on the field a fair amount, but his involvement in the passing game could be limited again.

Bengals' Evan McPherson: Phenomenal in preseason win
McPherson connected on field-goal attempts of 25 and 58 yards while also knocking home all three PATs in the Bengals' 27-9 preseason win over the Bears on Saturday.
McPherson put the Bengals on the board with 4:40 remaining in the opening period via his 25-yarder before pushing through his long-distance boot with 14:11 remaining in the contest to close out the scoring for either squad. McPherson, who's now 5-for-5 on field goals and 4-for-4 on PATs through two preseason games, is set to serve as Cincinnati's placekicker for the sixth straight season. The 2021 fifth-round pick is coming off a 2025 campaign where he posted a career-best 89.3 percent success rate on field goals and also went 41-for-44 on extra-point tries across 17 regular-season games.

Bengals' Colbie Young: Finds end zone in preseason win
Young brought in three of eight targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 27-9 preseason win over the Bears on Saturday.
The rookie fourth-round pick led the Bengals' pass catchers in receiving yards and targets on the night, and he made his first trip to the end zone as a pro via a 17-yard catch on a pass from Josh Johnson in the latter portion of the second quarter. Young now has a 5-76-1 line on 12 targets over his first two preseason games, making a solid case for the No. 4 receiver role to open the regular season.
