Charlie Jones

Brown did not practice to begin the week after head coach Zac Taylor called him day-to-day on Monday. He participated in the Monday walkthrough, but is officially a non-participant for Wednesday after missing the last two games for the Bengals. LB Joe Bachie (hip), DT B.J. Hill (knee), and WR Charlie Jones (groin) were also non-participants on the Bengals' Wednesday practice report.

Higgins was always expected to remain sidelined after failing to get in a practice on the short week. Higgins isn't exactly known as a quick healer, but 10 days hence against the Chargers could be realistic after he at least got a "doubtful" tag as opposed to an immediate rule-out this week. Joining Higgins on the shelf are LT Orlando Brown, WR Charlie Jones, RB Kendall Milton, EDGE Cedric Johnson and TE Tanner McLachlan.

Jones suffered a groin injury in practice last week and missed Week 9 against the Raiders. He has primarily been a reserve reserve and kick return this season, catching one pass for five yards and returning 14 punts and five kicks this season, including a 100-yard kick return touchdown in Week 8. Trenton Irwin will fill in Jones' role if he misses Thursday against the Ravens.

Higgins will be inactive for the second straight game due to a quad injury. He has not practiced in over a week and will now miss Week 9 against the Raiders. Andrei Iosivas is the primary beneficiary of Higgins' absence with Charlie Jones (groin) out and Jermaine Burton a surprising healthy scratch. Iosivas has some FLEX upside, though expect the Bengals offense to primarily run through Ja'Marr Chase, Mike Gesicki, and Chase Brown. The Bengals have a quick turnaround to a Thursday game in Week 10, so Higgins will possibly miss that game as well. Burton, meanwhile, seems to be out of favor with Bengals coaches, receiving a healthy scratch with both Higgins and Jones out.

Moss was listed as doubtful heading into the weekend and is now officially ruled out after not practicing due to a neck issue Friday. Chase Brown will be a high-end RB2 with RB1 upside for Week 9 against the Raiders. Also inactive for the Bengals are WR Charlie Jones, WR Jermaine Burton, WR Tee Higgins, OT Orlando Brown Jr., TE Tanner McLachlan and DT Jay Tufele. Jones (groin), Higgins (quad), and Brown (knee) are also out due to injury, while Burton is a surprising healthy scratch.
