Bengals' Chase Brown: Logs 22 touches in loss
Chase Brown rushed 13 times for 42 yards and a touchdown and secured nine of 11 targets for 52 yards in the Cincinnati Bengals' 35-34 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night. He also lost a fumble.Brown once again filled the lead-back role and was the only Bengals running back to record a rush attempt, but he was nearly as involved as a receiver due to game script. The second-year back finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets behind Ja'Marr Chase, and he was able to post his fifth rushing touchdown of the season on a one-yard run to cap off the opening possession of the game. Brown will eventually begin sharing touches with the recently acquired Khalil Herbert, but he should continue spearheading the ground attack in a Week 11 road battle against the Chargers on Sunday night, Nov. 17.

Bengals' Chase Brown: Gets new backfield complement
Chase Brown will have a new backup for Week 10 after Cincinnati acquired Khalil Herbert from Chicago on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.Through the Cincinnati Bengals' first eight games of the season, Brown had been working in a timeshare with Zack Moss. Brown dominated the backfield in a Week 9 win over the Raiders after Moss was ruled out for the contest due to a neck injury, playing 79 percent of the snaps and amassing a career-high 120 yards on the ground while taking on all of the running-back usage (27 carries, five receptions). Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Tuesday that Moss is slated to miss at least the rest of the regular season, but the addition of Herbert -- who has averaged 4.8 yards per carry over 48 career games -- provides more formidable competition for supplementary work behind Brown than Trayveon Williams or Kendall Milton. With Herbert in the fold, Brown shouldn't be expected to handle 100 percent of the backfield usage as he did in Week 9, but the second-year back should still see a sizable three-down role.

Bengals' Chase Brown: Estimated as full participant
Chase Brown (rib) was listed as a full participant on Monday's practice estimate.Per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, Brown suffered a bruised rib in Sunday's win over the Raiders, but the running back's listed full participation a day later indicates that his availability for Thursday night's game against the Ravens is not in danger. With Zack Moss on track to miss time with a neck injury, Brown appears poised to maintain a heavy workload versus Baltimore and likely beyond, after logging a career-high 27 carries against Las Vegas.

Bengals' Chase Brown: Bruised rib in win over Las Vegas
Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Chase Brown suffered a bruised rib in Sunday's win over the Raiders, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.Brown briefly exited Sunday's win but quickly returned and went on to set career highs in carries (27), rushing yards (120) and receptions (five), totaling 157 yards and one touchdown on his 32 touches. Meanwhile, Trayveon Williams didn't handle a single carry or target as the backup. With Zack Moss (neck) now out indefinitely, according to Taylor via Adam Schefter of ESPN, Brown looks like a locked-in every-down back moving forward, assuming his rib injury isn't serious. The Cincinnati Bengals have a quick Week 10 turnaround with a road game against the division-rival Ravens on tap for Thursday night.

Bengals' Chase Brown: Capitalizes on lead-back role
Chase Brown rushed 27 times for 120 yards and brought in all five targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in the Cincinnati Bengals' 41-24 win over the Raiders on Sunday.With Zack Moss (neck) sidelined, Brown essentially had the Bengals backfield to himself. The second-year back mustered career highs in both rush attempts and rushing yardage, and he recorded his second receiving touchdown of the campaign on an impressive one-yard catch in the back of the end zone late in the first quarter. Brown had already been trending toward the No. 1 back role -- Sunday marked his sixth straight game with double-digit carries -- and given the returns he provided against the Raiders, Brown should remain atop the ground attack irrespective of Moss's status for a Week 10 road matchup against the Ravens on Thursday night.

Bengals' Chase Brown: Three-down role likely awaits
Chase Brown is expected to take on the majority of the snaps out of the Cincinnati backfield in Sunday's game against the Raiders with Zack Moss (neck) inactive for the contest, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.Brown had already played 48 percent of the snaps or more in each of the last three games while outproducing Moss and seemingly emerging as Option 1A in Cincinnati's backfield timeshare, but the absence of Moss for Week 9 should pave the way for Brown to see his most significant playing time to date. Cincinnati's other active running backs include special-teams standout Trayveon Williams and practice-squad call-up Kendall Milton, neither of whom have logged a snap on offense in 2024. Expect the backups to be sprinkled in lightly while Brown likely handles a three-down role, at least for as long as Sunday's contest stays competitive.

Bengals' Chase Brown: Added touches likely with Moss hurt
Chase Brown is likely to see the lion's share of touches in the Cincinnati Bengals backfield Sunday against the Raiders, as Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports that Zack Moss (neck) is listed as doubtful for that contest.Brown stands to benefit from Moss's surprise addition to the injury report Friday. While Moss has been on hand to split backfield duties, Brown has played more than half of Cincinnati's offensive snaps only twice this season, and Brown was on the field for 48 percent of snaps Week 8 against the Eagles compared to Moss's 52 percent. If the Bengals continue to distrust Brown's pass protection, that could create an opportunity for Trayveon Williams to play a meaningful role against the Raiders as well.

Bengals' Chase Brown: Salvages day with TD

However, Brown did record his fourth rushing touchdown of the season on a four-yard run in the latter portion of the third quarter, and he also managed double-digit carries for the fifth straight game.

Bengals' Chase Brown: Leads Cincy backfield
Chase Brown rushed the ball 15 times for 44 yards in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Browns. He added two receptions on two targets for nine yards.Brown seemed to flip the Cincinnati backfield in his favor in Week 6 after Zack Moss lost a fumble, and that usage continued in Sunday's win. He saw 17 total touches to Moss's nine, and he outgained Moss on the ground 44-7. While Brown's usage was positive, he left plenty to be desired in terms of efficiency, as 11 of his 15 carries went for three yards or fewer. Despite the disappointing performance, he looks to be in line for plenty of volume heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Eagles.

Bengals' Chase Brown: Gets extra work in win
Chase Brown rushed the ball 10 times for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Giants. He added two receptions on three targets for 11 yards.Brown split work evenly with Zack Moss throughout the first half, and neither back was effective. However, Moss began the third quarter on the field and lost a fumble, leading to him being benched for the rest of the game. Brown remained unimpressive for the majority of the time with the backfield to himself, including coughing up the ball as Cincinnati was attempting to close out the win. He did manage to redeem himself with a game-clinching 30-yard scamper one play later, and things continue to point to Brown gaining a larger role in the backfield moving forward.
