Boyd (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
With Boyd believed to be dealing with an MCL sprain, his status for Sunday's game against the Browns -- and the Week 17 tilt with the Steelers -- is cloudy. At 6-8, the Bengals don't have much to gain by having Boyd play at less than full health, so he'll be a candidate for shutdown if he fails to make noticeable progress before the weekend. In that scenario, John Ross (knee) -- health permitting -- along with Cody Core and Alex Erickson would be in line to head the team's wideout corps down the stretch.
