The Cincinnati Bengals have one more practice to get through before taking on the Denver Broncos on “Monday Night Football.” Friday’s practice for Cincinnati featured the same attendance and participation level as Thursday, so there’s a clearer picture regarding who will and won’t be available in Denver.

Let’s take a look at where things stand on the latest injury report:

Observations

  • Tight end Noah Fant, who suffered a concussion during last Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings, remains in the concussion protocol after two practices. He needs to practice at some point before he’s cleared to play again, and if it hasn’t happened by now, odds are he’s going to miss this week’s game. Fant has 12 receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown in his first three games with the Bengals.
  • Defensive end Shemar Stewart (ankle) has yet to practice since suffering his injury during Week 2’s victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Zac Taylor said it would be “tough” for Stewart to return this week.
  • Running back Samaje Perine (finger) and right guard Dalton Risner (calf) practiced full again and are on track to play Monday. Taylor wouldn’t confirm if Risner will start this week, but all signs are pointing to him being available nonetheless.
  • Cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt (hamstring) remains limited after missing last week’s game.
