Three players for the Cincinnati Bengals have been declared out for Week 16's matchup against the Cleveland Browns, and three more are officially questionable.
Bengals Friday Injury Report
Edge defender Sam Hubbard (knee), defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (illness), and tight end Tanner Hudson did not practice Friday and are officially out for Sunday's game. Rankins has been out since right before Week 11 with his viral illness, and Hubbard is expected to miss the rest of the season. Head coach Zac Taylor gave a "we'll see" in regards if the same is expected for Hudson, who suffered his knee injury on Thursday.
Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (fibula), right guard Alex Cappa (concussion), and wide receiver Charlie Jones (groin) are all questionable to play. Brown got in a limited practice Friday and will likely be a game-time decision in two days time. He hasn't played since Week 13. Cappa needs to pass the final step of the concussion protocol on Saturday. Jones has been questionable many weeks recently but hasn't played since Week 8.
Quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist/knee), wide receiver Tee Higgins (knee), and defensive tackle Kris Jenkins Jr. (illness) will play. Burrow and Higgins were limited throughout the week to manage their workload. Jenkins was able to return from his illness Friday and will be fine for Sunday.
Browns Friday Injury Report
Cleveland has only ruled out defensive tackle Shelby Harris (elbow) and list cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. (concussion), tight end David Njoku (hamstring), and wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) as questionable.
Edge defender Myles Garrett (back) popped up on Thursday's injury report but will be able to go Sunday.
