Orlando Brown Latest News
Officially ruled out for SNF
Brown (knee/fibula) is inactive for Sunday night's matchup with the Chargers. Brown was able to return to practice this week, logging a limited session Thursday before a DNP on Friday. The offensive tackle will now shift his focus to being ready to go for the team's Week 13 matchup with the Steelers on Dec. 1 after Cincinnati is idle in Week 12. In the meantime, Cody Ford will draw another start at left tackle against Los Angeles.
Not expected to play Sunday
Brown (knee/fibula), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is not expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Official word on Brown's status won't be revealed until after Cincinnati posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but his expected absence comes as little surprise after he was a limited in practice Thursday and then sat out Friday's session entirely. Cody Ford is expected to start at left tackle in Brown's stead Sunday.
Questionable for Week 11
Brown (knee/fibula) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Brown appears to be trending toward not playing Sunday night despite his questionable designation, as the 28-year-old offensive lineman downgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a DNP on Friday. If Brown misses his third consecutive game in Week 11, expect Cody Ford to serve as Cincinnati's top left tackle.
Returns to practice Thursday
Brown (knee/fibula) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday. Brown has missed the Bengals' last two regular-season games due to a knee injury. He was a DNP on Wednesday, but he was able to practice Thursday in a limited capacity. If he's able to practice Friday, Brown could return and start at left tackle Sunday against the Chargers, otherwise Cody Ford would serve in that role for a third straight game.
Inactive for Week 10
Brown (knee) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Ravens. Brown was able to log consecutive limited practices and earned a questionable tag for Thursday's game, but his knee injury appears to severe for him to play. His next chance at playing will be Week 11 against the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 17. Cody Ford will likely start at left tackle for a second straight game in Brown's absence.
Could return in Week 10
Brown (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Ravens. Brown upgraded from an estimated DNP on Monday to back-to-back limited sessions Tuesday and Wednesday, giving himself a chance to suit up in Week 10. If the first-year Bengal can't play through his knee injury for the second consecutive week, Cody Ford will likely get the start at left tackle.
Upgrades to limited Tuesday
Brown (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports. Brown was sidelined for Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 8 against the Eagles. He opened the week as a DNP on Monday, but his limited participation on Tuesday's estimated report indicates he is trending in the right direction to making a return. Wednesday's report will provide more clarity on his status for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.
DNP on Monday's estimation
Brown (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation. Brown was held out of Cincinnati's Week 9 win over the Raiders after sustaining a knee injury the week prior. He'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation either Tuesday or Wednesday in order to play in Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Ravens. If Brown is unable to do so, Cody Ford is expected to draw the start at left tackle.
Inactive against Las Vegas
Brown (knee/fibula) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Brown was listed as doubtful, so this doesn't come as a surprise. Look for Cody Ford to draw the start at left tackle for Cincinnati.
