Latest Injury Report News and Updates
The bulk of the Bengals’ injuries are on the offensive side of the ball. They lost rookie tight end Erick All Jr. to a torn ACL last week, as well as veteran running back Zack Moss to a season-ending neck injury.
Wide receiver Tee Higgins is set to miss his third consecutive game with a quad injury he suffered at practice. This is the second injury he sustained mid-week and the fifth total game he’s missed because of them. WR Charlie Jones, who barely plays anyway, is also out with a groin injury.
In the trenches, defensive tackle B.J. Hill and offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. are the only players at risk of not playing tonight (both listed as questionable). Safeties Geno Stone and Jordan Battle were listed but will play through their respective shin and ankle injuries.
As for the Ravens, their injury report is moderately lengthy but consists almost entirely of players who will play. Quarterback Lamar Jackson has been missing practices over the past two weeks with a knee issue, but he’s in no jeopardy of missing this game. It sounds like he’s dealing with nicks and bruises more than a real injury.
Big fella TD! Lamar Jackson gets the ball to Patrick Ricard for another @Ravens score.

Running back Keaton Mitchell has been practicing in full as he recovers from a torn ACL. His 2024 debut is imminent and could happen as soon as tonight. As for TE Isaiah Likely, he didn’t practice all week and won’t play against the Bengals.
Looking at the defense, defensive Brent Urban is the only relevant player set to miss tonight’s contest due to a concussion. Cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis has been limited at practice with a knee injury. Given his doubtful designation, he almost certainly won’t be playing Thursday night. DT Travis Jones, meanwhile, is dealing with an ankle injury but carries no injury designation.
