Bachie (hip) was downgraded to out for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers. Bachie was initially deemed doubtful heading into the weekend, but he has since been ruled out for Sunday's contest. He's played a rotational role on defense throughout the campaign, topping out at seven defense snaps Week 9. As such, Bachie's absence Sunday will primarily impact the Bengals' special-teams unit.
Bachie (hip) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Bachie appears to have sustained a hip injury in Cincinnati's Week 10 loss to the Ravens, and he's likely a longshot to play Sunday after logging three consecutive DNPs during the Bengals' week of practice. Undrafted rookie Maema Njongmeta could see increased work on Cincinnati's defense as a rotational linebacker if Bachie is sidelined in Week 11 as expected.
The Bengals re-signed Bachie to a one-year contract Monday. Bachie entered the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, but he's now set to return to Cincinnati for a fourth straight campaign. He contributed almost exclusively on special teams last year across 16 regular-season games.
