The Cincinnati Bengals (0-2) are searching for their first win of the season as they host the Washington Commanders (1-1) at Paycor Stadium.
The Week 3 matchup in prime time on Monday night has the Bengals heavily favored with the Commanders trotting out the No. 2 overall pick in Jayden Daniels.
After a heartbreaking loss against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2, the Bengals are looking to bounce back. They'll have some reinforcements on the way as well.
On the final injury report, the Bengals ruled two players out, one player as doubftul and two players as questionable. Meanwhile, Washington ruled one player out and one as questionable ahead of the Monday night matchup.
We'll make any updates to this if either team makes changes to their injury reports Sunday, but these are the players with injury designations for the Week 3 matchup.
Bengals vs. Commanders Week 3: Full injury designations
Cincinnati Bengals
Out
- DT Sheldon Rankin (hamstring)
- TE Tanner Hudson (knee)
Neither Rankin nor Hudson were able to practice throughout the week, and the Bengals are going to be extremely thin on the interior defensive line. Hudson has played only nine offensive snaps this season so not much will change on offense with his absence.
Doubtful
- DT B.J. Hill (hastring)
Hill exited the game against the Kansas City Chiefs with an injury in Week 2 and failed to log a practice throughout the week. It's unlikely he will play, leaving a bigger void on the defensive line.
Questionable
- S Vonn Bell (back)
- DT Kris Jenkins Jr. (thumb)
Bell seems to be a true game-time decision after being limited on Thursday and not practicing Friday or Saturday. Jenkins was limited for the first two practices and was full on Saturday so he could make his debut on Monday night.
No Designation
- QB Joe Burrow (wrist)
- TE Mike Gesicki (calf)
- WR Tee Higgins (hamstring)
- OT Amarius Mims (pectoral)
All four players were full participants during Saturday's practice. Burrow has been a full participant all season so it wouldn't be a surprise if he stops showing up on the injury report. Higgins is the big name here as he's finally going to make his debut after missing the first two games due to a hamstring injury he picked up just before Week 1.
Washington Commanders
Out
- DE Clelin Ferrell (knee)
The former first-round pick was limited Friday but then didn't practice Saturday so he was ruled out.
Questionable
- CB Emmanuel Forbes Jr. (thumb)
Forbes had to undergo a procedure on his thumb after Week 1 and while he was ruled out in Week 2, he has a chance to return Monday night. He was limited at practice all week.
No Designation
- DT Jer'Zhan Newton (foot)
- DE Dorance Armstrong (chest)
- OT Brandon Coleman (ankle)
- S Quan Martin (hamstring)
- CB Benjamin St.-Juste (groin)
