Week 18 Injury Report: Bengals vs Browns


The Bengals, after losing in week 17 to the Chiefs, enter week 18 with nothing to play for. And while Ja’Marr Chase has indicated that he would like to play, and seems as though he will, Tee Higgins is doubtful for Sunday. Though Higgins did re-enter last week and played through his injury due to the importance of the game, doing so this week would make no sense. Veteran CB Chidobe Awuzie is listed as questionable, as is fellow CB Jalen Davis.

The Browns meanwhile, who cannot improve on the 5th seed in the AFC, will be resting a number of starters on Sunday. One is QB Joe Flacco, who has been on a roll lately. He is not listed with an official designation for Sunday’s game, but former Bengal Jeff Driskel has already been announced as the starter. As well, some Cleveland starters expected to sit include Garrett, Cooper, Thornhill, and Newsome.
