Team news: Cincinnati Bengals

Bengals RB Giovani Bernard is questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Giants, according to Richard Skinner of WKRC-TV in Cincinnati.

Bernard is a volume play at best if he goes Sunday, but how much production will he get with a new QB and injuries throughout the offense? May be safe to let him ride your fantasy bench.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard returned to practice on Thursday.

The return to practice suggests that Gio has been cleared from the league's concussion protocol. He may have a tough time finding any running room in Week 12, with the Giants likely to key on stopping Bernard while forcing Brandon Allen to prove it with his arm. Gio is our 28th ranked running back for Week 12.

Bengals running back Giovani Bernard is not practicing Wednesday and has entered the NFL's concussion protocol.

The Bengals recently put starter Joe Mixon on injured reserve and now look like they will be missing his backup this Sunday. Between the loss of Joe Burrow and the running back injuries, the Bengals offense is looking weaker by the day. Samaje Perine would be in line to absorb most of the carries if Bernard ends up missing Week 12.

The Bengals and doctors were encouraged by what they saw in the imaging of Joe Burrow's knee.

Garafolo said he was surprised by the reports Monday that Burrow's injury was worse than what was expected. Garafolo compared the Burrow injury to that of Carson Wentz. Wentz was injured in December of 2017 but came back after missing the first two games of 2018. As Garafolo said, yes, it's a multi-ligament injury, but the Bengals are optimistic about 2021 and beyond.

MRI revealed more damage than anticipated: Bengals’ QB Joe Burrow tore his ACL, MCL, and suffered other structural issues in his knee as well.

Schefter went on to say the types of knee injuries like Burrow suffered, usually sideline players anywhere from 9-12 months, though each person heals and rehabs differently. Unfortunately that now means no matter how quickly Burrow does or doesn’t recover, next year’s status is now in question. It's possible Burrow won't be ready to go in Week 1 of 2021.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow was carted off the field with a knee injury during Sunday’s game against the Washington Football Team.

The Bengals quickly ruled out their No. 1 overall pick as he was grabbing for knee in the ground. Ryan Finley has taken over at quarterback. We wish Burrow all the best and a speedy recovery.

The Bengals have placed RB Joe Mixon on injured reserve.

Mixon is now out for at least the next three games as he continues to deal with a foot injury. The earliest he’ll return now would be Week 14 against the Cowboys, so you might get him back to the playoffs, but don’t completely rely on that. Mixon hasn’t played since Week 6. Giovani Bernard will continue to roll for the Bengals. He is our No. 22 RB in half-PPR.
