Cincinnati Bengals WR Charlie Jones (thumb) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.
Link to storyCincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.
Footballguys view: Burrow doesn't look like himself, but the Bengals started him last week and won. Against the Titans in Week 4, we can only recommend a banged-up Burrow as a QB2 option for Fantasy GMs in start-2QB/Superflex leagues. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Saturday, Sept. 23, and is listed as questionable for Week 3.
Footballguys view: We may not see Burrow in the game against the Rams on Sunday. He doesn't look right, and time off might be his best bet to get back on track this season. That means QB Jake Browning may be the Bengals starter. Downgrade your Bengals skill position players accordingly if Browning is the top guy on Monday night. |

Free-agent QB AJ McCarron (Falcons) is signing to the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad, per source on Saturday, Sept. 23.
Footballguys view: McCarron worked out for them and signed to the practice squad, so that may give us clues about whether starting QB Joe Burrow will play against the Rams. Burrow has a calf injury, and it's clear that he's not himself. The team could start Jake Browning in Week 3, and that's not great for the skill position players or the team's outlook on Sunday. |

Free-agent QB AJ McCarron (Falcons) is working out for the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, Sept. 23.
Footballguys view: The Bengals don't have much behind starting QB Joe Burrow. With Burrow not looking the same as he deals with a calf injury, the Bengals may decide to shut him down to get him healthy. Instead of starting Jake Browning, they may decide on a more experienced quarterback like McCarron. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Jake Browning would start Week 3's game versus the Los Angeles Rams if QB Joe Burrow (calf) is unable to play.
Footballguys view: That's bad news for the Bengals' skill position players. Downgrade them all if Burrow sits and Browning starts. QB Reid Sinnett would then be elevated from the team's practice squad to serve as Browning's backup. |

Updating previous reports, Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) will not be 100 percent for some time, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
Footballguys view: Once the season begins and players are taking the weekly beating of this game, nobody gets to 100 percent. Burrow is playing, but he's not been playing well, and he doesn't look like the superstar quarterback everyone knows he is. Perhaps shutting him down for a week or two would give him enough rest to get back to playing at a high level. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) is still in the evaluation process after aggravating his calf injury in Week 2, per sources Monday, Sept. 18.
Footballguys view: There is a chance that Burrow is shut down for a bit of time. He's not looked the same since suffering this calf injury earlier this year. In two games, he does not look like the Burrow we know and love. Let's see what his practice status is like during the week. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) said he aggravated his calf injury during the Week 2 game and will take things day-to-day leading up to Week 3.
Footballguys view: There's a chance Burrow is shut down for at least a week. He hasn't looked like himself over the last two weeks after missing most of August with this calf injury. Jake Browning would likely start for the Bengals if Burrow can't go Monday night against the Rams. That's not great for any of the skill position players on the offense. Stay tuned. |

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught five passes for 31 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2. He was targeted eight times during the game.
Footballguys view: Chase's 2023 is going south quickly as the Bengals seem to only be able to function in the short passing game and now their quarterback has worsened his calf injury. You have to keep him in lineups against the Rams even if Burrow is out, but this could get worse before it gets better. |

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught eight passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2. He was targeted 12 times during the game.
Footballguys view: Higgins boxed out in the end zone and won in the short passing game for Joe Burrow to put up a big game after posting a goose egg on eight targets in Week 1. The day is still worrisome for Higgins as his quarterback said he aggravated his calf injury and the Bengals have one of the worst backup quarterback situations in the league. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow went 27-for-41 for 222 yards, two touchdowns and one interception against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2.
Footballguys view: Burrow finally at least put some points on the board, but it was a short passing struggle that did make some consistent incursions into Ravens territory in the second half. Still, this doesn't look like a dangerous passing game and the surprising Rams defense is up next. Burrow isn't even a sure thing for Week 3, as he said he aggravated his calf injury and is day-to-day. |
