Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 26, and has been ruled out for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: Andrei Iosivas will get more work like he did last week filling in for Ja'Marr Chase when he was suspended. Chase is now back, and so is QB Joe Burrow, so the Bengals passing game is a much more interesting option for Fantasy GMs. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (foot) has been activated off injured reserve and is expected to start in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens.
| Footballguys view: Here we go! The Bengals are back in business with Burrow at the helm. They're not completely out of the playoff picture, but they can't drop any games to keep their slim chances alive. Burrow against the Ravens on Thanksgiving should be fun to watch, and Fantasy GMs can look at him as a low-end QB1. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Sean Clifford was re-signed to the practice squad on Tuesday, Nov. 25.
Link to storyCincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (toe) will return for the Week 13 game against the Baltimore Ravens Thursday, Nov. 27.
| Footballguys view: To be clear, this is NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport saying Burrow is "officially back." He doesn't actually have a say in the decision. But head coach Zac Taylor has all but said Burrow will return for Thursday night's game against the Ravens. We're working and ranking under the assumption that Burrow will be under center Thursday night while waiting for the actual official announcement. We'll have that when it comes. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (toe) fully participated in practice Monday, Nov. 24. The Bengals did not hold a practice Monday, so this is an estimation.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Zac Taylor announced on Monday that Cincinnati's star quarterback is expected to play Thursday against the Baltimore Ravens. Burrow has not played since he suffered a toe injury that required surgery in Week 2. Opening the week with a full practice lends credence to the notion Burrow will indeed play -- especially with Joe Flacco (shoulder, finger) limited. We'll continue to monitor and report back as developments warrant. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Sean Clifford was waived Monday, Nov. 24.
| Footballguys view: Clifford's departure clears the way for Joe Burrow to join the 53-man roster. Burrow is on track to start against the Ravens Thursday night, although head coach Zac Taylor stopped short of announcing it. Still, Clifford's release is another step in that direction. |
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor told reporters that receiver Tee Higgins will be among several players missing the team's Thanksgiving night game against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.
| Footballguys view: DE Trey Hendrickson and RB Tahj Brooks also will miss the game, according to Taylor. Higgins landed hard on the back of his head while trying to make a catch against the Patriots. He left on a cart and was declared out with a concussion. Taylor was asked how Higgins is doing. "I don't want to speak for him," Taylor said. "It was obviously a tough one. So, that's where we'll land." With Higgins out, Andre Iosivas and Mitch Tinsley move up in the WR rotation. Also, TE Mike Gesicki has stepped up in Higgins' absence in the past. |

Cincinnati Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Monday he anticipates quarterback Joe Burrow playing Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens. "He looks in good shape right now and will be ready to go," Taylor said.
| Footballguys view: Taylor stopped short of officially announcing Burrow will play but said the quarterback has done "everything he could" to work his way back from a turf toe injury that has sidelined him since September. Taylor said Burrow will continue to work through the week before he makes an official declaration that the star quarterback will return from his injury. Taylor said that if Burrow starts Thursday night, Joe Flacco will be the backup. |

Following up on a previous item . . . Higgins left Sunday's loss to the Patriots after he landed on his head while trying to catch a pass in the fourth quarter, and he did not return. The Bengals later announced that Higgins has been diagnosed with a concussion.
| Footballguys view: The Bengals expect to have wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase back for Thursday night's game against the Ravens, and it looks like there's a good chance of quarterback Joe Burrow playing as well, but Tee Higgins is unlikely to join them on the field. Clearing the concussion protocol in any week is difficult, but the short turnaround to their Thanksgiving night game is even more challenging. |

Cincinnati Bengals WR Andrei Iosivas ended up with four receptions for a team-best 61 yards on seven targets in Week 12 against the New England Patriots.
| Footballguys view: Iosivas wasn't a big hit as a Week 12 sleeper in place of a suspended Ja'Marr Chase, but he did enough to avoid being a lineup liability. Iosivas did leave the game briefly with an injury, but as long he's healthy enough to play on Thanksgiving, he'll be a sleeper again in Week 13, but this time in place of Tee Higgins, who will miss the game with a concussion. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown rushed 19 times for 107 yards in Week 12 against the New England Patriots, and he added two receptions for 23 yards on four targets.
| Footballguys view: Brown posted the best game on the ground against the Patriots that we've seen thisseason by a good margin. Samaje Perine is unlikely to be ready to return on Thanksgiving, so consider Brown a high floor RB1 against the Ravens in Week 13. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Flacco completed 19-of-37 passes for 183 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 12 against the New England Patriots, and he had a 3-yard run on his only attempt.
| Footballguys view: Flacco, who left the game briefly with a finger injury, threw the 16th pick six of his career, and it was an easy one for Marcus Jones. That is just too much for the Bengals to overcome even though they got a pick six of their own off of Drake Maye. We should see Joe Burrow return for Thanksgiving night at Baltimore, but if this is the last start for Flacco this year, it has been another memorable season even though he is past his prime. |

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) left the Week 12 game against the New England Patriots late in the second half due to a concussion, and he was unable to return. Higgins finished with five receptions for 31 yards on six targets.
| Footballguys view: The Bengals pass offense struggled without Ja'Marr Chase in Week 12. Higgins did draw a long pass interference penalty on the play that he suffered the concussion, but that won't be much solace for his fantasy teams. We can safely rule Higgins out for Week 13 because the Bengals play at Baltimore on Thanksgiving night. |

Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals RB Tahj Brooks (concussion) was diagnosed with a concussion and ruled out of the Week 12 game.
| Footballguys view: Brooks was evaluated for a concussion during the third quarter of the team's loss to the New England Patriots at Paycor Stadium. The Bengals announced Brooks' return as questionable. A short time later, the Bengals declared Brooks out with a concussion. Brooks has played well when he is on the field, but it will be a challenge for him to be cleared before Thursday's Week 13 game against the Ravens. |
Cincinnati Bengals RB Tahj Brooks (head) left the Week 12 game early and is being evaluated for a concussion. He is considered questionable to return.
