On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Cincinnati Bengals in a key AFC North matchup at Acrisure Stadium. The Steelers won in overtime in the first meeting between the two teams this season, in one of the league’s most exciting games of the season.
Final Injury Reports Cincinnati Bengals – Pittsburgh Steelers
Cincinnati has been suffering from a Super Bowl hangover this season, and after dominating the AFC in last year’s playoffs, they are now 5-4 in 2022. Making the playoffs appears to be a challenge, though winning the division remains the ultimate goal.
This season, the Bengals have been plagued by injuries, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.
Three defensive linemen are questionable for this weekend, while Brandon Wilson (knee) is already out in the secondary. Despite the defensive issues, the most notable absence is Ja’Marr Chase (hip), who is expected to be out until the end of the month.
The Steelers have struggled this season, but after shocking the Bengals in the opener, they’ll be hoping to replicate that success in the rematch, this time at home.
Minkah Fitzpatrick is having a strong season and is expected to face the Bengals.
Having one of the NFL’s longest injury reports hasn’t helped the Steelers’ cause this season.
TJ Watt (pectoral) and Devin Bush are expected to return to the lineup on defense (knee). With the defense taking shape, this team may be finding its legs just in time.
On offense, Najee Harris (knee) is the name to watch for Sunday, as he is currently listed as probable for the weekend.
