The Cincinnati Bengals took a hit on the offensive front on Wednesday as head coach Zac Taylor announced that wide receiver Andrei Iosivas will be placed on injured reserve.

As great as the players have been on this defense, there is something to be said about defensive coordinator Al Golden as well. He deserves credit. Golden seems to have entered the season with a better feel for how to call the defense after his inaugural season last year.
A few trades have rearranged the NFL's backup quarterback ranks, but the dust has mostly settled. From a mix of recent first-round disappointments, aging vets, and young project types, here is how the league's QB2 ranks look for the 2026 season.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas will be placed on injured reserve with a torn thumb ligament, head coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday. Iosivas, 26, was scheduled for surgery and is expected to miss four to six weeks, ESPN reported.

Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas tore a ligament in his thumb and will go on injured reserve, Ben Baby of ESPN reports. He will miss at least four games.
NFL stars can't play forever, and retirement is coming sooner than later for some of the league's top players. These 25 players could call it quits following the 2026 season.
The Cincinnati Bengals can go to 3-0 by taking down the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first AFC North matchup of the season. Here’s how you can watch the Bengals play in Week 3.
The Cincinnati Bengals will have a pair of winning streaks on the line when they travel to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The Bengals are off to a 2-0 start to the season, but they also have a four-game winning streak with Clay Martin as the referee.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will now turn their attention to their first divisional matchup of the season following a brutal Week 2. When the Steelers face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3, they will take on an all-too-familiar foe that is heading in the opposite direction.
Joe Burrow may have actually gotten healthier in the physical game against Houston on Sunday. The Bengals' most important player told a few of the opposing defensive linemen after the game that they helped pop his rib back into place, possibly the reason for his back tightness last week.
After Week 2, eight undefeated NFL teams remain. But some have a much easier path to a perfect 3-0 start than others.
The Cincinnati Bengals spent their offseason trying to replace Trey Hendrickson’s pass rush by committee. Two games in, Boye Mafe and rookie Cashius Howell are the clearest proof that the plan is working.
The Bengals entered the 2026 season with one major goal: improve their defense. Cincinnati made several moves during the offseason, but trading for Dexter Lawrence stood out as perhaps the biggest addition.
The Cincinnati Bengals have one of the best quarterbacks in the league in Joe Burrow and two of the best receivers in the league in Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Things have been looking up for the Cincinnati Bengals. And Ja’Marr Chase is making plays. Plus, the defense looks solid, with Dexter Lawrence destroying any notion that he wasn’t worth the No.
It turns out Lawrence made his intentions quite clear when he addressed his new teammates earlier this year.
How many of the players to catch two or more touchdowns in one game the most times for each NFL franchise can you name in five minutes?
Chase's quiet Week 1 was much ado about nothing.
Thursday updates indicated that Burrow would not be 100 percent for the Bengals' game at the 0-1 Houston Texans this coming Sunday after he developed "back tightness" ahead of Wednesday's practice.
Ja'Marr Chase isn't going to pretend he enjoyed catching only two passes in the Cincinnati Bengals' season-opening win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
How big an issue is Burrow's latest ailment?
On Wednesday, Joe Burrow put a damper on a promising start to the season for the Cincinnati Bengals when the seven-year veteran quarterback "told reporters that he is dealing with 'back tightness," according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.
