Observations

  • Defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) is officially questionable after going all week without practicing. He’s on tracking being a true game-time decision for Thursday night.
  • Wide receiver Charlie Jones (ribs) went limited Wednesday and is also questionable along with offensive lineman Lucas Patrick (calf). Cincinnati still needs to activate Patrick to the active roster in order for him to play or simply dress for the game.
  • Tight ends Mike Gesicki (pectoral) and Tanner Hudson (concussion) are both officially out. Gesicki has been placed on the Reserve/Injured list and cannot play again until Week 12. Hudson is in concussion protocol and was a long shot to clear it in time for Thursday.
