The Bengals will be without Jalen Davis and Cam Sample for another week. While the playoff seeding has not yet been determined, the Bengals have clinched the AFC North. As a result, they will be resting some starters. Joe Burrow will not play. He is healthy enough to play if they need him, but with a playoff spot locked up, it seems the team feels it is better to give him some rest. Brandon Allen will make his first start of the season. It remains to be seen if Burrow will backup Allen or if Jake Browning will be elevated from the practice squad.

Additionally, they are expected to be without RB Joe Mixon and DE Trey Hendrickson, among others. They have been placed on the covid list.
