CIN RB Samaje Perine (ankle) has been a full participant this week. Bengals OC Dan Pitcher on Perine's role alongside Chase Brown: "I think we'll definitely find ways to do it." Referenced the NYJ game where Brown had 54% of snaps, Perine at 42%. (putting this here for @dannyheifetz.bsky.social)

Bengals officially waive QB Sean Clifford, opening up roster spot for Joe Burrow to be added back to the 53-player roster.

According to ESPN Analytics, the Bengals have a 1.0% chance of making the playoffs.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase's 1-game suspension was upheld, the league announced.

Story for ESPN on Trey Hendrickson, Joe Flacco and what to expect Sunday in Bengals-Steelers: www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

While not shocking given the demographic of folks that use Bluesky, still very notable that X is being lapped. Battle is no longer between X vs. Threads vs. Bluesky. It's Threads vs. Bluesky, IMO.

The Bengals know they need to get better at tackling and the numbers show why. Through the first eight weeks, Cincinnati led the NFL in missed tackles on rushing plays, per Next Gen Stats.

Bengals place LB Shaka Heyward (fibula) and C Matt Lee (knee) on the injured reserve list, the team announced. DT Mike Pennel was also released. That leaves three openings on the team's 53-player roster.

New | Tyrod Taylor was once Joe Flacco's back-up in Baltimore. Both have been starters in their careers. But ahead of Sunday's Bengals-Jets game, they now hold a different distinction: Two of the NFL's most coveted back-up quarterbacks. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

This ALCS Game 7 is incredible to watch. Has been an awesome series.

This is from Doug Martin’s agent Brian Murphy on behalf of his family. It says he battled mental health challenges that “profoundly impacted his personal and professional life.” It also says his parents were trying to get him medical assistance.

Wrote about that here: www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

I appreciate that. I'm gonna be honest: It is extremely difficult balancing all three text-based apps, especially knowing each has very distinct donwsides and unknown upsides. Still try to get here when I can out of respect to y'all who have followed.

Over the weekend, I wrote about Bengals rookie Shemar Stewart and how his teammates are convinced he could be one of the NFL’s best edge rushers. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Bengals OL Cordell Volson suffered a right shoulder injury at practice yesterday. Zac Taylor said he won’t play on Monday against WAS and his injury timeline is unknown.

Bengals WR Jermaine Burton issued a statement regarding his missed practice on Sunday with an undisclosed injury. “Any suggestion otherwise simply is not true.”

Bengals WR Jermaine Burton missed practice with an undisclosed injury, per team. Is considered day-to-day.

Story for ESPN on Geno Stone being week-to-week with a soft-tissue injury he picked up in the Eagles game: www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Bengals S Geno Stone week-to-week with a soft tissue injury, Zac Taylor says. Will not play against Washington on Monday.

Joe Burrow and the Bengals offensive starters indeed play one quarter (two series). Final line: 9-of-10 passing, 123 yards, 2 TDs

That TD from Joe Burrow to Ja'Marr Chase is nearly identical to the game-winner against the Cowboys last season. Also, worth noting that Charlie Jones got the reps instead of Tee Higgins in certain packages on the first two drives.

As good as the offense was, the defense just left a lot to be desired against the Eagles backups. Biggest concern was the chunk plays surrendered, especially the 38-yard run by Will Shipley. About the last thing that defense needs after what happened last season.

Even against the Eagles 2s, that's a very impressive drive from the Bengals offense. Aside from his first throw that was a touch behind Tee Higgins, Joe Burrow was humming on that drive. Chase Brown with some very good plays both w/ run and pass.

For whatever it's worth (and who really knows?), but I am over 100K followers on Threads based off one starter pack. Only had 70K followers on Twitter and that hasn't really changed much in three years.

While I'm around here currently and am gathering feedback, another question: What is the primary aversion for folks to be using Threads like they used Twitter?
