Wilson, who is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh due to a knee injury, isn't expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Wilson didn't practice at all this week, but he was still deemed questionable heading into Sunday's matchup. If he misses the contest as expected, it will be a big loss for Cincinnati, as Wilson leads the team with 104 tackles while playing 100 percent of the squad's defensive snaps in nine of 11 games. Akeem Davis-Gaither may be asked to step into a major defensive role in Wilson's likely absence.

Latest Bengals News
Logan Wilson : Not likely to play Week 13
Wilson, who is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh due to a knee injury, isn't expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Wilson didn't practice at all this week, but he was still deemed questionable heading into Sunday's matchup. If he misses the contest as expected, it will be a big loss for Cincinnati, as Wilson leads the team with 104 tackles while playing 100 percent of the squad's defensive snaps in nine of 11 games. Akeem Davis-Gaither may be asked to step into a major defensive role in Wilson's likely absence.
Orlando Brown : Questionable for Week 13
Brown (knee/fibula) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers. Brown missed the Bengals' last three games due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 8 against the Eagles. Brown finished the week strong with a full practice Friday, but if he's unable to play Sunday, Cody Ford would likely start at left tackle again.
Devin Cochran : Signed to Bengals’ active roster
The Bengals signed Cochran from the practice squad to the active roster Friday. Cochran was elevated from the Bengals' practice squad to the active roster in Cincinnati's last three regular-season games. He will give the Bengals additional depth on the offensive line for the rest of the regular season.
Joe Bachie : Set for return Week 13
Bachie (hip) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers. Bachie missed Cincinnati's Week 11 loss to the Chargers due to a hip issue, but the team's Week 12 bye gave him the time to recover enough to return to the field. The veteran linebacker's presence would typically primarily impact the special-teams unit, as Bachie has logged just 18 defensive snaps over 10 games this season. However, he could be asked to step into a more significant role Sunday if Logan Wilson, who is questionable due to knee injury, is unable to suit up.
Charlie Jones : Not expected to play Week 13
Jones (groin) is doubtful to suit up Sunday against Pittsburgh. Jones was able to log a limited practice both Wednesday and Thursday but was then a DNP on Friday, and it's likely that he'll miss his fourth straight game. The second-year wideout hasn't played more than 11 snaps on offense in any contest this season, but he was working as the Bengals' top kick returner prior to getting hurt. That role figures to be filled by Jermaine Burton on Sunday with Jones out of action.
Logan Wilson : Deemed questionable for Week 13
Wilson (knee) is questionable to play Sunday versus Pittsburgh, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. A knee issue has prevented Wilson from practicing all week, but there's still a chance he could play Sunday. The veteran linebacker has been a consistent presence in the Bengals' defense this year, tallying at least eight tackles in all 11 of the team's games so far. If Wilson ends up missing Sunday, Joe Bachie could slide into a starting role.
Sheldon Rankins : Won’t play Week 13
Rankins (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Rankins missed Cincinnati's Week 11 game against the Chargers due to the illness, and he's not well enough to suit up Sunday despite the Bengals' being on bye last week. McKinnley Jackson, Kris Jenkins and Jay Tufele could all see increased defensive snaps with Rankins out Sunday. Rankins' next opportunity to suit up will be Monday, Dec. 9 versus Dallas.
Charlie Jones : Still dealing with groin injury
Jones (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Jones missed the Bengals' last three games due to a groin injury. The Week 12 bye appears to have helped his recovery process as he was able to log a limited practice Wednesday. Jones will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.
