For the second straight week, the only players who will be inactive for the Cincinnati Bengals will be healthy scratches. Cincinnati's entire 53-man roster is as healthy as can be entering the weekend with a crucial divisional matchup against the Cleveland Browns on tap.
Bengals vs Browns Friday Injury Report
As it turns out, quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist/shin) is only dealing with soreness with his shin and the injury is "no issue" according to head coach Zac Taylor. He'll be good to go on Sunday.
Everyone else on the roster is in the same boat. Cornerback DJ Ivey (knee) is the only player listed as questionable, and he hasn't even been activated off the Physically Unable to Perform list yet. If the Bengals decide to keep him on the list this week, they'll have one more week to activate him before the 21-day window expires.
Defensive tackle Kris Jenkins Jr. (thumb) went full all week, and cornerback DJ Turner II (ankle) was also a full participant Friday as well after being limited Wednesday and Thursday. He will start again at cornerback.
As for the Browns, five players are offcially questionable and two have been declared out. Running back Jerome Ford (hamstring) and safety Ronnie Hickman (ankle) will not play Sunday after missing all three practices this week.
Cleveland may not have Ford in the backfield, but they will have Nick Chubb for the first time all season. Chubb is officially questionable, but it is expected that he will make his debut on Sunday. Chubb was a full participant in every practice this week.
Linebacker and Cincinnati native Jordan Hicks (elbow, triceps), running back Nyheim Hines (knee), center Ethan Pocic (knee), and safety Juan Thornhill (calf) are all questionable along with Chubb.
