Top Bengals News

  • Bengals' DJ Turner: Dealing with illness

    Turner (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.

    The third-year pro from Michigan was a late addition to the Bengals' injury report and is now in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest. Turner has been a bright spot in Cincinnati's secondary, recording 36 total tackles and 17 passes defensed, including two interceptions, over 14 appearances this season. If he's sidelined for the Week 16 matchup, expect DJ Ivey and Josh Newton to receive more snaps with the Bengals' first-team defense.

  • Bengals' PJ Jules: Questionable for Week 16

    Jules (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Jules has a chance to return Sunday from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury he sustained in Week 14 against the Bills. His return would give the Bengals more depth in the secondary, though he's spent most of the 2025 regular season as a contributor on special teams.

  • Bengals' B.J. Hill: Questionable for Sunday

    Hill (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Hill managed to log a limited practice Friday, which constituted his only practice participation of the week. The defensive tackle played just 25 snaps in last Sunday's loss to the Ravens, indicating the fresh ankle injury may have had something to do with his absence. With just one limited practice under his belt it is unclear if the 30-year-old will be able to suit up. If Hill is unable to play, McKinnley Jackson and Jordan Jefferson would be in line for an increased defensive snap share in Sunday's contest.

  • Bengals' Charlie Jones: Ruled out with injured ankle

    Jones (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Jones left last Sunday's game against the Ravens with an ankle injury and was unable to log any practice participation in Week 16. The kick and punt returner's absence will give Ke'Shawn Williams a chance to shine as the lead returner in both roles, with Samaje Perine likely to take over Williams' position as the secondary kick returner.

  • Bengals' Tee Higgins: Questionable after full practice

    Higgins (concussion) was a full participant in practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Higgins upgraded to full participation after a pair of limited practices, which marks another step forward as he works his way through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but he still needs to earn clearance from an independent neurologist before he can play again. If Higgins is cleared, the star wide receiver would likely return Sunday after missing his team's Week 15 loss to the Ravens. Either way, since the Bengals kick off Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET, those considering Higgins in Week 16 fantasy lineups will have his playing status confirmed before the first wave of games that day.

  • Bengals' Kris Jenkins: Officially placed on IR

    Jenkins (ankle) was placed on the injured reserve list Friday.

    The second-year pro from Michigan sustained an ankle injury in the Week 15 loss to the Ravens and will now be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Through 14 appearances this year, Jenkins recorded 36 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and one pass defensed. Expect McKinnley Jackson to have a larger role on the Bengals' defensive line with Jenkins out for the year.

  • Bengals' Noah Fant: Won't play in Week 16

    Fant (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Fant will sit out due to the ankle injury he sustained in this past Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Drew Sample, Tanner Hudson or Cam Grandy could play additional snaps alongside Mike Gesicki due to Fant's absence. Fant's next chance to play will be Week 17 against the Cardinals.

  • Bengals' Shemar Stewart: Activated for Week 16

    Stewart (knee) was activated from the injured reserve list Friday and has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.

    Stewart had missed the Bengals' last five games due to a knee injury suffered in the Week 9 loss to the Bears, but following a week of full practice sessions, he's ready to suit up Sunday. The 2025 first-round pick from Texas A&M has tallied just six total tackles in five appearances this season. Now fully healthy, he's expected to start opposite Myles Murphy in Week 16.
