The Cincinnati Bengals have a big question mark going into Monday Night Football.

Joe Burrow was able to practice for the second straight day on Saturday, which shows there was no setback in his work from Friday. Expect Burrow to be questionable going into the matchup with the Los Angeles Rams, which is a much better result than the beginning of the week was foreshadowing.

Joe Burrow is going through warm ups right now with a compression sleeve on his right calf. A positive sign there were no setbacks from yesterday.

After practice, head coach Zac Taylor said “well see”, when asked if Burrow would play Monday night.

In non-Burrow news, edge defender Joseph Ossai (ankle) got in a third full practice and is all systems go to make his 2023 debut. His return should make the lives of Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard easier as they'll experience a lighter snap count.

Safeties Nick Scott (concussion) and Tycen Anderson (calf) should also be good to go for Monday after they both finished the week with full practices.

Tight end Irv Smith Jr. Is doubtful to play on Monday with the hamstring injury. Linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither did not practice on Saturday but is not listed with a designation.
