After a big win over the Colts last week, the Bengals had a few big names pop up on the injury report this week. Ja’Marr Chase, in particular, caught some attention. But the good news is that all the big names are expected to play. Meanwhile, depth LB Joe Bachie is listed as questionable, as he deals with an oblique issue. After not practicing for two days, he got in a limited session on Thursday, so there does seem to be a chance that he plays, though no guarantee, of course.
The Vikings will be without a couple of starters for this one. OT Brian O’Neill and RB Alexander Mattison are both out. Star WR Justin Jefferson is questionable, after leaving their game last week with a chest injury. The expectation is that he will suit up.
UPDATE: OT Jackson Carman and TE Drew Sample (Ilness) have both been added to the Bengals injury report and are listed as questionable.
