The NFL has suspended Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase one game for spitting on Steelers DB Jalen Ramsey in Sunday's game. We'll see whether Chase appeals, but video caught him committing the act. So it's tough to envision this one getting overturned.

Winds are forecasted at 15-20 mph with gusts around 30-35 mph for today's Bengals-Steelers game. That figures to impact some long passes and kicks, although it's worth noting that the over/under on this game has held steady at 48.5. We're not adjusting projections in this one but might shy away from Ks Chris Boswell and Evan McPherson.

Bengals RB Samaje Perine (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. That should leave RB Chase Brown in a workhorse role. He played 95% of the offensive snaps and handled 11 carries and 14 targets with Perine out for most of Cincinnati’s last game.

Bengals RB Samaje Perine suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 9 loss to the Bears and is considered "week to week," HC Zac Taylor said. Perine gets a Week 10 bye but could certainly miss time beyond that. High-ankle sprains often cost players 4+ weeks, although we don't have a definitive timetable for Perine's return. His absence would be a major boon for RB Chase Brown, who set season highs with a 95% snap rate and 86% route rate with Perine out for most of last week's game. Brown handled 11 of 13 RB carries and drew a whopping 14 targets. He looks like at least a high-end RB2 for as long as Perine is out.

Bengals RB Samaje Perine injured his right ankle early in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bears and did not return. RB Chase Brown dominated backfield work the rest of the way, handling eight carries and a whopping 13 targets to RB Tahj Brooks' one carry and 0 targets. We'll look for an update on Perine's status. Brown will be a big fantasy winner if he misses more time.

Bengals RB Chase Brown had easily his best game of the season in Thursday night's 33-31 win over the Steelers. He carried 11 times for 108 yards -- good for 9.8 yards per carry. Brown busted off a season-long 37-yard run in the second quarter and had a 27-yarder earlier in that frame. He wasn't nearly as good in the passing game, catching two of four targets for -8 yards. Brown had a drop in the first quarter for what could have gone for a gain of 20+ yards.

Bengals RB Chase Brown posted a 9-42 rushing line in Sunday's loss at Green Bay. That's not helping anyone win a fantasy matchup, but the 4.7 yards per rush at least marked a season high. Brown added 2 catches for 7 yards among two targets, season-low receiving production for Cincinnati's lead back. And perhaps most worrisome, he has spent the past two weeks nearly matching Samaje Perine in playing time.

Bengals RB Chase Brown remained underwhelming in an ugly Week 5 loss to Detroit. The third-year RB tallied 27 rushing yards on 8 attempts and 21 yards on 7 receptions.

NFL Network reports that Bengals QB Joe Burrow is believed to have suffered a Grade 3 turf toe injury in the Week 2 win over the Bengals. If confirmed, Burrow will need surgery and miss "at least 3 months." ESPN's Adam Schefter adds that images of Burrow's toe are being sent to foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson before a final decision is made.

Bengals RB Chase Brown assumed his expected lead-back spot in Thursday night's preseason opener against the Eagles. According to Pro Football Focus, he played 12 of the team's 16 first-team snaps, matching WR Tee Higgins (and WR Andrei Iosivas) while trailing QB Joe Burrow and WR Ja'Marr Chase by just four snaps. But Samaje Perine picked up those other four snaps, running a pass route on each of them. That put him just two routes short of Brown's number (six). According to PFF, Perine took the field for Cincinnati's only third down with more than a yard to go, and his other three chances came in clear passing situations.

The Bengals on Wednesday announced that they've released RB Zack Moss. It's not a shocking ending given that Moss averaged a career-low 3.3 yards per rush last year, suffered a season-ending neck injury, and then took a pay cut in the offseason. But it could tell us something about the 2025 backfield.

The Bengals and RB Zack Moss have agreed to restructure the final year of his deal, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. Moss missed the final nine games of last season with a neck injury, but Cincinnati is "clearly confident in his return," according to Garafolo.

Former Chiefs RB Samaje Perine has signed back with his former Cincinnati Bengals team. The deal is worth up to $3.8 million. Perine likely won't be much of a threat to current starter Chase Brown, but could factor in his old pass catching role.

Bengals RB Chase Brown (ankle) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Steelers. He tried to suit up, but warmups didn’t go well. RBs Khalil Herbert, Trayveon Williams, and Kendall Milton are active for Cincinnati tonight. Neither Williams nor Milton has a single offensive touch this season. Herbert has eight carries and one target over his seven games as a Bengal. Herbert will likely handle most of the backfield work tonight, but we’re also expecting Cincinnati to go even pass-heavier without Brown.

Bengals RB Chase Brown will "work out pre-game while attempting to play" tonight against the Steelers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Brown missed the team's three official practices of the week but did participate in a Friday walkthrough. We'll see about his status for the game, but Brown looks risky for fantasy use even if active. If he sits, then Khalil Herbert could be a sneaky RB2.

Bengals RB Chase Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game vs. the Steelers. He didn't practice all week, but HC Zac Taylor labeled him a game-time decision on Thursday. We'll look for further updates on Brown and get Cincinnati's inactives around 6:30 pm ET on Saturday. Khalil Herbert will operate as Cincinnati's lead back if Brown is unable to play.

Bengals RB Chase Brown (ankle) missed his second straight practice on Wednesday. Reportedly dealing with a high-ankle sprain, he's in legitimate question for Saturday's game vs. the Steelers. Brown's absence would leave Khalil Herbert as Cincinnati's lead back. We'll get Cincinnati's final injury report on Thursday afternoon.
