Cincy Jungle
One final game for the Cincinnati Bengals, as they finish off a disappointing 2025 season with a home game against the Cleveland Browns. Looking to finish the season strong, the Bengals had several players miss practice on Wednesday, per the team’s injury report.
Running back Chase Brown missed practice due to illness. The team will likely monitor him through the week, so he will be a name to keep an eye on over the next couple of days.
Ankle injuries continue to be an issue as Joseph Ossai, Charlie Jones, and B.J. Hill all missed Wednesday’s practice with ankle injuries. Ossai and Jones missed Week 17 with their injuries, so they could be effectively done for the season. Hill will be a name to watch as the week progresses.
Backup tight end Cam Grandy (chest) was out, while backup center Matt Lee (knee) was limited. Lee has not yet been activated from injured reserve, but he could have a chance this week.
For Cleveland, star rookie linebacker Carson Schwesigner (quad/ankle) missed practice, along with guard Teven Jenkins, who is dealing with a concussion. Tight end David Njoku (personal) and center Kingsley Eguakun were both listed as nonparticipants as well.
