Uzomah (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

With Tyler Eifert (back) still out of practice and looking less-and-less likely to play against the Patriots, Uzomah could be in line to see increased action Sunday. If Eifert is ruled out, the 23-year-old will compete with Tyler Kroft for first team reps, although Uzomah could be at a disadvantage when factoring in his ankle injury. Look for more updates on the Bengals' tight end situation to emerge as kickoff nears.
