Bengals' Charlie Jones: Estimated as DNP
Charlie Jones (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation.Jones was held out of the Cincinnati Bengals' Week 9 win over the Raiders after likely sustaining a groin injury in practice earlier in the week. The second-year pro will almost certainly need to upgrade to at least limited participation either Tuesday or Wednesday in order to suit up for Cincinnati's Week 10 matchup against the Ravens on Thursday night.

Bengals' Charlie Jones: Sitting out Sunday
Charlie Jones (groin) is inactive for Sunday's Week 9 battle against the Raiders.Jones popped up on the injury report with a groin injury Thursday and wasn't able to practice Friday. That wasn't a good sign heading into the weekend, and the second-year wideout is now set to miss his first game this season. Jones' absence will be felt particularly in the return game, as he's been handling kickoff and punt returns for the Cincinnati Bengals, and notched a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in Week 7 against Cleveland. Trenton Irwin and/or Chase Brown may be asked to return kicks in Jones' stead Sunday.

Charlie Jones (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.The second-year wide receiver from Purdue downgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he could be trending toward not playing Sunday. If Jones can't play through his groin issue in Week 9, Chase Brown and Trenton Irwin are expected to take over as the Cincinnati Bengals' top kick and punt returners, respectively.

Bengals' Charlie Jones: Pops up on injury report
Charlie Jones (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.Jones was able to practice in full Wednesday, but he was limited during Thursday's session, indicating that he may have picked up a groin injury during practice. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but Friday's practice report should provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Raiders. Jones has served as the Cincinnati Bengals' primary return man this season, but if he's unable to play, Chase Brown and Trenton Irwin would be the top candidates to handle kickoff- and punt-return duties Sunday.

Bengals' Charlie Jones: Opens scoring for the Bengals
Charlie Jones returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Browns.Jones received the kickoff on the goal line and blew past defenders, not getting touched until he reached midfield when he was grazed by kicker Dustin Hopkins. Tony Brown and D'Anthony Bell both made attempts to bring him down and nearly pushed him out of bounds, but the Purdue product remained upright and narrowly dove into the end zone while hitting the pylon. It was Jones' first career kick return for a touchdown, although he did return a punt for a touchdown during his rookie campaign.

Bengals' Charlie Jones: Light role on offense in Week 6
Charlie Jones didn't draw a target on either of his two snaps on offense and returned a kickoff for 31 yards and three punts for 13 yards in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Giants.Jones hasn't been targeted since Week 1 and has now played five snaps on offense or fewer in each of the past five games. Though he appears to be an injury or two away from carving out a meaningful role at receiver, Jones' standing as the Cincinnati Bengals' top kickoff and punt returner will allow him to remain active on game days.

Bengals' Charlie Jones: Not involved in loss
Charlie Jones failed to record a single target in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs.Jones saw a decrease in playing time in Week 2, seeing the field for just two offensive snaps against the Chiefs after playing eight snaps in Week 1. With just 10 offensive snaps through the Cincinnati Bengals' first two contests, the second-year wideout should remain far off the fantasy radar going forward, especially with teammate Tee Higgins (hamstring) nearing a return to the field. The Bengals host the Commanders in Week 3.

Buried on the Bengals' receiver depth chart, the second-year wideout should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Bengals visit the Chiefs in Week 2, especially if teammate Tee Higgins (hamstring) returns to the lineup.
