Recent Update |
| Andre Caldwell, WR (CIN) |
probable |
Foot. |
11/19/2008:Caldwell is not ready for fantasy prime-time just yet, but he has a chance to factor in on the offense, health permitting, now that Antonio Chatman is on IR. |
| Eric Henderson, DE (CIN) |
Out |
Neck. |
|
| T.J. Houshmandzadeh, WR (CIN) |
probable |
Back. |
11/19/2008:Houshmandzadeh returned two punts for 27 yards after Chatman left the game last week. |
| Levi Jones, T (CIN) |
Out |
Back. |
11/16/2008:The Bengals allowed eight sacks on Sunday, and could be in for an even worse result on Thursday this week against the Steelers. |
| Jonathan Joseph, CB (CIN) |
questionable |
Foot. |
11/19/2008:The Bengals have already ruled out a slew of players, so we like Joseph's chances of going. Still check back with us before kickoff Thursday if you count on him as one of your IDPs. |
| Reginald Kelly, TE (CIN) |
probable |
Ankle. |
|
| Scott Kooistra, T (CIN) |
Out |
Knee. |
11/19/2008:Kooistra's injury means that the Bengals will probably start a rookie (Anthony Collins) at left tackle and a three-year practice squad player (Nate Livings) at left guard on Thursday night. |
| Bryant McFadden, CB (PIT) |
Out |
Forearm. |
11/19/2008:We'll revisit his status leading up to the Steelers' Week 13 tilt versus the Patriots on November 30. |
| Antwan Odom, DE (CIN) |
Out |
Shoulder. |
11/16/2008:Odom was wearing a sling on the shoulder this week, so this is not really a surprise. If you were hoping to use him as an IDP, you need to look elsewhere. |
| Carson Palmer, QB (CIN) |
Out |
Elbow. |
11/18/2008:With each passing week, it seems more and more likely that Palmer will be out for the season, in which case the Bengals would play out the rest of the year with Ryan Fitzpatrick. |
| Jerome Simpson, WR (CIN) |
doubtful |
Ankle. |
11/19/2008:Nov. 30 against Baltimore seems like a more realistic return date for Simpson. |
| Marvel Smith, T (PIT) |
Out |
Back. |
|
| Matt Spaeth, TE (PIT) |
questionable |
Wrist. |
11/18/2008:Tomlin said that Spaeth's success was due to the Steelers taking what the defenses were showing. It's unlikely Spaeth will continue his string of offensive significance with Miller back, but at least the team knows that it can trust his receiving ability going forward. |
| Deshea Townsend, CB (PIT) |
Out |
Hamstring. |
11/19/2008:With Bryant McFadden also listed as out, the Steelers will be forced to turn to replacements Anthony Madison and Fernando Bryant for the second week in a row. |
| Kenny Watson, RB (CIN) |
probable |
Shoulder. |
|
| Andrew Whitworth, OT (CIN) |
Out |
Ankle. |
11/16/2008:The Bengals have major injury issues on the offensive line, with both Whitworth and Levi Jones getting hurt on Sunday. Rookie Anthony Collins could start on Thursday in Pittsburgh. |
