Bengals Injury Report: Possible replacement for injured starter goes full as Green Bay deals with new injury
Cincinnati is monitoring a few of its starters and an offensive lineman who could return this week.
The Cincinnati Bengals have are still working in Joe Flacco before their Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers, and both teams have several injuries to monitor before the end of the week.
Let’s take a look at where things stand on Thursday’s injury report:
Bengals Thursday injury report
| Player | Injury | W/T/F | Designation |
| WR Ja’Marr Chase | NIR – (Rest) | Limited/Full | – |
| LG Dylan Fairchild | Knee | DNP/DNP | – |
| LB Shaka Heyward | Illness | –/DNP | |
| DT B.J. Hill | NIR – (Rest)/Ankle | Full/DNP | – |

| RG Lucas Patrick | Calf | Limited/Full | – |
| TE Drew Sample | Ankle | DNP/Limited | – |
| DE Shemar Stewart | Ankle | Limited/Limited | – |
Observations
- Left guard Dylan Fairchild (knee) was once again a DNP with his knee injury he suffered against the Detroit Lions. Fairchild dressed for practice but did not participate with the rest of the team.
- Right guard Lucas Patrick (calf) went full for the first time since being designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list earlier in the week. This is a positive development for him to be activated to the roster before Sunday’s game, which would give the offense depth or a replacement for Fairchild.
- Tight end Drew Sample (ankle) went limited after he missed Wednesday’s practice entirely. Defensive end Shemar Stewart (ankle) practiced went limited again.
