Bengals | Mike Gesicki to IR Wed Oct 15, 10:37 AM
Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki (pectoral) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, Oct. 15, with a pectoral injury.
| Footballguys view: Gesicki is now out of action for four weeks, and the Bengals will be turning to Noah Fant and Tanner Hudson. Joe Flacco has no problem finding either one of those tight ends, but we give a slight advantage to Fant because of his skill set and athleticism after the catch. |

Bengals | Taylor: TE Mike Gesicki Will Be Out For Some Time Mon Oct 13, 02:22 PM
As the Bengals prepare to play the Steelers on a short week, head coach Zac Taylor had injury updates on some key players during his Monday press conference. Taylor said tight end Mike Gesicki will be sidelined for some time while dealing with a pectoral injury.
| Footballguys view: "He'll be out for this game for sure. Getting more information now," Taylor said. "It's going to be a while. We'll just see what that means." Gesicki has eight catches for 61 yards so far this season. Noah Fant and Tanner Hudson will serve as the top receiving threats at the position in Gesicki's absence. |

Bengals | Trey Hendrickson day-to-day Mon Oct 13, 01:27 PM
Cincinnati Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson (back) is day-to-day after receiving positive scans on his back. The Bengals play Thursday, Oct. 16.
| Footballguys view: Hendrickson had an MRI that came back clean, which opened the door for him to play in a matter of days. Hendrickson was on the field for just 43 percent of Cincinnati's defensive snaps on Sunday. He's tallied 4.0 sacks with three tackles for loss and eight QB hits this season. With Hendrickson out, duties on the edge go to Joseph Ossai and depth names like Myles Murphy and Cam Sample. Bengals first-round pick Shemar Stewart just missed his fourth consecutive game with an ankle injury and remains a question mark for Thursday night, too. |

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught 10 of his 12 targets for 94 yards and a touchdown in a 27-18 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: The big day came with Joe Flacco under center. Chase earned his highest target total since Joe Burrow was hurt in Week 2. As CBSSports.com suggested, the performance gives some hope that Chase will remain a reliable fantasy contributor even in the absence of Burrow, as he has now found the end zone and topped 100 receiving yards in consecutive contests. The Bengals play the Steelers on Thursday night this week. |

Bengals | Joe Flacco tosses two TDs in Cincy debut Sun Oct 12, 08:07 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Flacco completed 29 of his 45 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-18 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Ben Baby suggested, Cincinnati should be encouraged with how Flacco played, particularly in the second half. Flacco did a very good job of playing on time, finding a good rhythm, and locating open receivers. When the Bengals traded for Flacco this week, they were hopeful the 40-year-old signal-caller could jump-start a dormant offense. If he continues to play like this, it could be good enough to inject the slightest bit of life into Cincinnati's season. The Bengals play the Steelers on Thursday night in Week 7. |

| Footballguys view: Gesicki was not targeted in the pass game, and he had no offensive statistics before departing. The Bengals play the Steelers on Thursday Night Football this week. Noah Fant and Tanner Hudson will handle the receiving work if Gesicki isn't ready. |

Bengals | CIN checked in on multiple QBs before Joe Flacco trade Sun Oct 12, 12:19 PM
The Cincinnati Bengals conducted an extensive search for quarterback help before ultimately trading with the Cleveland Browns for QB Joe Flacco earlier this week, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Cincinnati reportedly expressed interest in Houston Texans QB Davis Mills, Philadelphia Eagles QB Sam Howell and retired QB Derek Carr (Saints) before making a deal for Flacco. The Bengals did not check in on free-agent QB Ryan Tannehill because he has not played since the 2023 season.

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (illness), who is listed as questionable for the Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers, is expected to play, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Chase was out there on Friday, but this illness caused him to leave early. He should play, and Fantasy GMs are excited about what Chase can do with Joe Flacco throwing him passes. Flacco is a seasoned veteran, so he should be able to get the ball to Chase and Tee Higgins early and often. |

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (illness) will be questionable for Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers.
| Footballguys view: Chase was healthy to start the week, but the illness surfaced late in the week. We don't have a ton of information yet. We'll hope for more clarity before Sunday's kickoff. If he's active, start him. This entire offense hopes to trend up after the midweek trade for Joe Flacco. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Flacco was named the starter by head coach Zac Taylor on Wednesday, Oct. 8.
| Footballguys view: Flacco now gets to start against the Packers twice in a month. He started for the Browns in Week 3 when they beat the Packers. Now, Flacco only had 142 yards in that game so it's not like he's set to light it up. It will be interesting to see in his first start with the Bengals how much he gets the ball to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. |

Bengals | Taylor: Joe Flacco Has A History Of Winning; Could He Start This Week? Tue Oct 7, 03:21 PM
Joe Flacco is officially a Bengal. In a statement included in the Bengals' announcement of the trade to acquire the QB, head coach Zac Taylor referenced Flacco's record of success around the league as the reason why they bucked convention to make the deal. "Joe is an experienced quarterback with a history of winning," Taylor said. "He is a leader with a skill set that will fit our personnel well. He is a gifted passer with a strong arm, and we are excited to have him on our team."
| Footballguys view: The Bengals also announced that they have released Brett Rypien to clear a roster spot for Flacco. Rypien has been Jake Browning's backup since Joe Burrow was hurt in Week 2. Flacco's experience should help him pick things up with the Bengals relatively quickly, and his only win with the Browns came against the Packers, who are next up for the Bengals. We'll find out in the next few days if that's enough for him to step right into their starting lineup this weekend. |

Bengals | With Browning Struggling, Cincinnati Trades For Joe Flacco Tue Oct 7, 01:28 PM
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor told reporters on Monday that the team would evaluate its options at quarterback after Jake Browning's struggles while filling in for the injured Joe Burrow. Cincinnati has acted on one such option, bringing in a signal-caller from a division rival. According to multiple reports, the Bengals have agreed to acquire Joe Flacco from the Browns.
| Footballguys view: Cincinnati will receive Flacco and a sixth-round pick in exchange for a fifth-round pick to complete the rare intra-AFC North trade. Flacco, 40, started Cleveland's first four games before being replaced by Dillon Gabriel in Week 5. Flacco completed 58.1 percent of his passes for 815 yards with two touchdowns and six interceptions in his four starts. It's unclear how long it will take Flacco to get up to speed on Cincinnati's offense. But with Browning struggling, the Bengals needed to do something to shake things up. We'll be following up as developments warrant. |

Bengals | Mike White cut Tue Oct 7, 10:52 AM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Mike White was released from the practice squad Tuesday, Oct. 7.
| Footballguys view: Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that the team will evaluate their quarterback options for Week 6, but White won't be under consideration to start against the Packers in Green Bay. Jake Browning has started the last three games for the Bengals. They have lost all three of those contests, which is why Taylor is considering a change this week. Brett Rypien is on the 53-man roster as Browning's backup, and Sean Clifford, who signed at the same time as White, remains on the practice squad. |
Bengals | CIN open to QB change? Mon Oct 6, 11:24 AM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Jake Browning could be at risk of being benched as head coach Zac Taylor said the team would look at all their personnel on offense.
| Footballguys view: Browning threw three interceptions in a 37-24 loss that dropped the Bengals to 0-3 in games he's started this season. The QB rebounded to throw three touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Still, the Bengals had already fallen behind 28-3 and, as Profootballtalk.com suggested, he won't find much objection to his characterization of his performance as "just brutal." Brett Rypien, Mike White, and Sean Clifford don't have histories that offer much reason to believe they'd be better, however, and that makes for a bleak outlook in Cincinnati right now. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase scores twice Sun Oct 5, 09:05 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught six of his 10 targets for 110 yards and two touchdowns in a 37-24 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 5.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Chase and the offense got off to a slow start. The star wideout had only four catches on eight targets for 31 yards at halftime. That changed, as Chase took two second-half targets for 15 and 64-yard touchdowns. Although his weekly outlook is hurt by the subpar play of Jake Browning, Chase is capable of overcoming that and delivering high-end production any given Sunday. His next opportunity is against the Packers in Week 6. |

The organization has also not engaged in trade talks with other teams for veteran quarterbacks such as Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins or New York Giants QBs Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, according to multiple sources.
