Chase Brown has played 85.3% of the Bengals offensive snaps since Week 10.
Updated Tue, Dec 17 at 10:42am -
Rushing and receiving TD in Week 15
Brown rushed 25 times for 97 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Brown scored his fourth receiving touchdown of the season on a six-yard catch in the first quarter and added his seventh rushing touchdown on a five-yard run with 1:09 remaining in the fourth quarter. The 2023 third-round pick also came just three yards shy of his second career 100-yard rushing performance. Brown has excelled in the lead role with seven total touchdowns in his last seven games, and he'll look to keep rolling in Week 16 against the Browns.

Scores ninth touchdown Monday
Brown rushed 14 times for 58 yards while catching six of eight targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-20 win over Dallas.
Analysis: Brown scored his ninth touchdown of the season off a lengthy reception Monday, but the play needed a successful challenge to overrule the referees marking the back out at the three-yard line. The 24-year-old got a highlight moment by leaping into the Salvation Army holiday pot at AT&T Stadium, paying homage to Ezekiel Elliott's touchdown celebration back in 2016. Brown has scored all nine of his touchdowns over the Bengals' last 10 games, making him a strong fantasy asset heading in to a soft…read more

Solid game on limited touches
Brown rushed the ball 12 times for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers. He added three receptions on three targets for 30 yards.
Analysis: Brown looked to be in for a huge game as he accounted for 54 rushing yards and a score on the Bengals' second offensive possession. However, Cincinnati found itself chasing the lead for much of the second half, which led to Brown getting only four carries in the final two quarters. Nevertheless, he remains the clear lead back and has now found the end zone or topped 100 yards from scrimmage in five consecutive matchups.

Goes for 143 yards on 27 touches
Brown carried the ball 22 times for 86 yards while catching five of seven targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Brown continues to be the bell cow for Cincinnati's backfield, surrendering no carries to fellow running backs while producing 143 yards on 27 total touches. The sophomore out of Illinois failed to extend a modest three-game touchdown streak, but it's hard to scoff at this kind of production from a player that was likely snagged off the wire early in the fantasy season. Brown will enter Cincinnati's bye week with 957 yards from scrimmage and seven total touchdowns in as many games played (12)…read more

Logs 22 touches in loss
Brown rushed 13 times for 42 yards and a touchdown and secured nine of 11 targets for 52 yards in the Bengals' 35-34 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Brown once again filled the lead-back role and was the only Bengals running back to record a rush attempt, but he was nearly as involved as a receiver due to game script. The second-year back finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets behind Ja'Marr Chase, and he was able to post his fifth rushing touchdown of the season on a one-yard run to cap off the opening possession of the game. Brown will eventually begin sharing touches with the recently acquired Khalil Herbert, but he…read more

Gets new backfield complement
Brown will have a new backup for Week 10 after Cincinnati acquired Khalil Herbert from Chicago on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Through the Bengals' first eight games of the season, Brown had been working in a timeshare with Zack Moss. Brown dominated the backfield in a Week 9 win over the Raiders after Moss was ruled out for the contest due to a neck injury, playing 79 percent of the snaps and amassing a career-high 120 yards on the ground while taking on all of the running-back usage (27 carries, five receptions). Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Tuesday that Moss is slated to miss at least the rest of the…read more

Estimated as full participant
Brown (rib) was listed as a full participant on Monday's practice estimate.
Analysis: Per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, Brown suffered a bruised rib in Sunday's win over the Raiders, but the running back's listed full participation a day later indicates that his availability for Thursday night's game against the Ravens is not in danger. With Zack Moss on track to miss time with a neck injury, Brown appears poised to maintain a heavy workload versus Baltimore and likely beyond, after logging a career-high 27 carries against Las Vegas.

Bruised rib in win over Las Vegas
Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Brown suffered a bruised rib in Sunday's win over the Raiders, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Brown briefly exited Sunday's win but quickly returned and went on to set career highs in carries (27), rushing yards (120) and receptions (five), totaling 157 yards and one touchdown on his 32 touches. Meanwhile, Trayveon Williams didn't handle a single carry or target as the backup. With Zack Moss (neck) now out indefinitely, according to Taylor via Adam Schefter of ESPN, Brown looks like a locked-in every-down back moving forward, assuming his rib injury isn't serious. The Bengals have a…read more

Capitalizes on lead-back role
Brown rushed 27 times for 120 yards and brought in all five targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 41-24 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: With Zack Moss (neck) sidelined, Brown essentially had the Bengals backfield to himself. The second-year back mustered career highs in both rush attempts and rushing yardage, and he recorded his second receiving touchdown of the campaign on an impressive one-yard catch in the back of the end zone late in the first quarter. Brown had already been trending toward the No. 1 back role -- Sunday marked his sixth straight game with double-digit carries -- and given the returns he provided against the…read more

Three-down role likely awaits
Brown is expected to take on the majority of the snaps out of the Cincinnati backfield in Sunday's game against the Raiders with Zack Moss (neck) inactive for the contest, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Brown had already played 48 percent of the snaps or more in each of the last three games while outproducing Moss and seemingly emerging as Option 1A in Cincinnati's backfield timeshare, but the absence of Moss for Week 9 should pave the way for Brown to see his most significant playing time to date. Cincinnati's other active running backs include special-teams standout Trayveon Williams and practice-squad call-up Kendall Milton, neither of whom have logged a snap on offense in 2024. Expect the…read more

Added touches likely with Moss hurt
Brown is likely to see the lion's share of touches in the Bengals backfield Sunday against the Raiders, as Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports that Zack Moss (neck) is listed as doubtful for that contest.
Analysis: Brown stands to benefit from Moss's surprise addition to the injury report Friday. While Moss has been on hand to split backfield duties, Brown has played more than half of Cincinnati's offensive snaps only twice this season, and Brown was on the field for 48 percent of snaps Week 8 against the Eagles compared to Moss's 52 percent. If the Bengals continue to distrust Brown's pass protection, that could create an opportunity for Trayveon Williams to play a meaningful role against the Raiders as…read more

Salvages day with TD
Brown rushed 12 times for 32 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of four targets for four yards in the Bengals' 37-17 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Analysis: Brown outpaced Zack Moss by seven carries as the clear lead back, but neither player found much success on the ground. However, Brown did record his fourth rushing touchdown of the season on a four-yard run in the latter portion of the third quarter, and he also managed double-digit carries for the fifth straight game. Brown projects to remain atop Cincinnati's ground attack in a favorable Week 9 home matchup against the Raiders.

Leads Cincy backfield
Brown rushed the ball 15 times for 44 yards in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Browns. He added two receptions on two targets for nine yards.
Analysis: Brown seemed to flip the Cincinnati backfield in his favor in Week 6 after Zack Moss lost a fumble, and that usage continued in Sunday's win. He saw 17 total touches to Moss's nine, and he outgained Moss on the ground 44-7. While Brown's usage was positive, he left plenty to be desired in terms of efficiency, as 11 of his 15 carries went for three yards or fewer. Despite the disappointing performance, he looks to be in line for plenty of volume heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Eagles.

Gets extra work in win
Brown rushed the ball 10 times for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Giants. He added two receptions on three targets for 11 yards.
Analysis: Brown split work evenly with Zack Moss throughout the first half, and neither back was effective. However, Moss began the third quarter on the field and lost a fumble, leading to him being benched for the rest of the game. Brown remained unimpressive for the majority of the time with the backfield to himself, including coughing up the ball as Cincinnati was attempting to close out the win. He did manage to redeem himself with a game-clinching 30-yard scamper one play later, and things continue…read more

Suiting up Sunday
Brown (quadricep) is listed as active for Sunday's game at the Giants, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Though coach Zac Taylor noted Friday that Brown would be good to go for the contest, the running back was ultimately deemed questionable ahead of Week 6 action after logging his second straight limited practice. While Brown's availability versus New York didn't really appear in danger, his official injury report listing nonetheless made his status worth confirming. Now that he's been made active, Brown is in a position to continue to share backfield duties with Zack Moss. With that arrangement…read more

Should play Sunday night
Brown (quadricep), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Giants, is expected to play, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Head coach Zac Taylor said as much when he touched on Brown's status following Friday's practice, but fantasy managers should have some extra assurance about the running back being cleared to play ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Expect Brown and Zack Moss to continue operating in a tandem out of the backfield that has proven beneficial for both players, who have three touchdowns apiece on the season.

Questionable for Sunday
Brown (quadricep) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Giants.
Analysis: Brown was a midweek addition to the Bengals' practice report Thursday as limited due to a quad injury. On Friday, coach Zac Taylor relayed to Geoff Hobson of the team's official site that both Brown and fellow RB Zack Moss (foot) were good to go for Week 6 action, but Brown won't avoid a designation heading into the weekend. While Brown seemingly is in line to be available Sunday, his status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Ready for Week 6 action
Coach Zac Taylor noted Friday that Brown (quadricep) is good to go for Sunday night's game against the Giants, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site and Ben Baby of ESPN.com report.
Analysis: The quad injury that limited Brown on Thursday was evidently very minor, and he's in line to continue to share backfield duties with Zack Moss (foot), who also is set to be available this weekend, per Taylor. Through Cincinnati's first five contests, Brown has carried 41 times for 230 yards and two TDs and added 10 catches for 39 yards and another score, while Moss has logged 57 carries for 211 yards and two touchdowns and caught 15 passes for 124 yards and a TD.

Added to injury report
Brown was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited practice participant due to a quadriceps injury, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: With Zack Moss recovering from a foot injury, there's been some thought Brown could take on a huge workload this Sunday against the Giants. That's still a possibility, only now there's another variable. The Bengals' No. 3 running back, Trayveon Williams, has largely been a special teams player throughout his six-year pro career.

Leading rusher in OT loss
Brown carried the ball 12 times for 46 yards and caught all three of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Ravens. He also ran in a two-point conversion.
Analysis: The second-year RB led the Bengals in rushing yards while seeing 15 or more touches for the second straight game. While Brown's usage is already on the upswing, he could have the backfield to himself in Week 6 against the Giants, as Zack Moss suffered an ankle injury late in the fourth quarter Sunday and didn't get another touch the rest of the way.

Draws even split in backfield
Brown rushed the ball 15 times for 80 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Panthers. He added two receptions on three targets for 12 yards.
Analysis: After showcasing strong efficiency on limited touches through three games, Brown managed to match Zack Moss' workload in Week 4. That began early on near the goal line when Brown replaced Moss and punched in the team's first touchdown of the day from three yards away. With the team in positive game script for much of the second half, Brown split carries evenly and tallied another touchdown from one yard out while also recording a long run of 20 yards. It's unclear whether Brown has secured this…read more

Leading rusher on seven totes
Brown rushed seven times for 62 yards and caught two of three targets for seven yards in Monday's 38-33 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Brown continued to excel in his current change-of-pace role behind starter Zack Moss (12-58-1) in Monday's primetime loss. The sophomore rusher wound up leading the Bengals in rushing yards despite receiving five less carries than the team's incumbent starter. Brown would need a promotion or an injury to open up playing time to become a trustworthy fantasy option in standard leagues. That said, his strong production on a per-touch basis this season highlights a potential stash option as the…read more

Limited impact in loss
Brown rushed four times for 31 yards while also returning a kick for 28 yards in Sunday's 26-25 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: Brown was limited to just four touches while playing 13 of the team's 64 offensive snaps, most notably scampering for a 12-yard rush in the fourth quarter. The running back is firmly behind Zack Moss as Cincinnati's No. 2 option in the backfield in the early going as Moss played 51 snaps with the offense. Through two games, Brown has turned seven carries into 42 yards while securing all three of his targets for 12 yards. His 6.0 yards per carry is promising compared to Moss's 3.7, and Brown…read more

Six touches in loss
Brown rushed three times for 11 yards and caught all three of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Brown was on the field for just 17 of the Bengals' 51 offensive snaps Sunday, roughly half of that of backfield mate Zack Moss, who finished with 33 snaps. The delineation of snaps between the two backs was unclear entering the contest, but Moss seemed to be the preferred option while carrying the ball nine times and seeing four targets. Though Brown's role left much to be desired for fantasy managers hoping he could take a step forward this season, he certainly has room to grow as the more…read more

Set to share work with Moss
The nature of Cincinnati's backfield split between Brown and Zack Moss remains somewhat unclear ahead of Sunday's game against New England, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Both running backs are expected to be heavily involved, and the good news for fantasy purposes is that there may even be room for both to thrive Week 1 with the team opening its season at home as a heavy favorite. The Bengals won't always be favored by more than a touchdown, of course, and there will be plenty of weeks in which wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins comfortably outproduce the running backs. With that in mind, it will be important to keep close tabs on how the Bengals deploy…read more

Heavy workload on opening drive
Brown rushed five times for 10 yards and brought in his only target for no gain in the Bengals' 17-14 preseason loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday night. He also returned one kickoff for 26 yards.
Analysis: With Zack Moss (illness) sidelined, Brown got the starting nod and saw a hefty workload on the opening possession. Brown logged three straight carries starting with the second play from scrimmage, with his game-long run of six yards coming on the final touch in that sequence. The second-year back added a five-yard gain later in the drive. He's projected to handle what will presumably be a markedly larger volume of touches than the 58 he logged across 12 regular-season games as a rookie while…read more

Working with starters a lot
Brown took a majority of first-team reps during the first three practices of training camp, Charlie Clifford of NBC 5 Cincinnati reports.
Analysis: Free-agent signee Zack Moss is healthy and also getting some first-team work, but apparently not quite as much as Brown, a 2023 fifth-round pick who averaged 8.8 touches for 53.7 yards over the final six weeks of last season. It was a promising finish to his rookie year, with the stipulation that Brown's production came from a few big plays rather than snap-to-snap consistency (he also played only eight snaps on offense before Week 13). There are some other positives in his profile, including a…read more

Looks set for No. 2 role
Brown appears primed to work as the top backup to Zack Moss following the 2024 NFL Draft, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Bengals didn't select a single running back across 10 picks in this year's draft, so even if the team brings in a handful of talented UDFAs, Brown looks like a notable winner for fantasy purposes. He flashed across 12 appearances as a rookie last season, and while Moss' experience with a large workload and on third downs may make him the favorite for the No. 1 role, Brown's short-area burst could make him an effective complementary option. If Brown can put together a solid offseason and…read more

Opportunity knocks as Mixon traded
Brown bumps up to the No. 2 spot on Cincinnati's depth chart behind Zack Moss, with Joe Mixon in line to be traded to the Texans, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Brown earned a larger role in Cincinnati's offense during the second half of his rookie season, securing the No. 2 gig for himself during the final six games of the campaign, but he ended the year with just 44 carries for 179 yards, plus 14 catches for 156 yards and a score. Though Moss is coming off an impressive season in Indianapolis, Brown could offer him real competition for touches, depending on what other additions the Bengals make to the running back depth chart.

Handles 12 touches in Week 18
Brown rushed 11 times for 43 yards and caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Brown continued to operate as the No. 2 running back behind starter Joe Mixon in the season finale, with the rookie's 11 carries marking his highest total of the campaign. Though he saw a larger role over the second half of the season, Brown's opportunities were fairly limited in 2023, as he totaled 44 carries for 179 yards and added 14 catches for 156 yards and a touchdown over 12 games. Though Mixon is under contract for 2024, he's owed a $3 million roster bonus March 16, so Brown's role…read more

Five touches against Chiefs
Brown rushed three times for five yards and caught both of his targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Brown continued to operate as the Cincinnati's No. 2 running back, playing 11 of the Bengals' 74 offensive snaps Sunday. With limited usage behind veteran Joe Mixon, the rookie's fantasy utility is suppressed within the Cincinnati offense. The Bengals are eliminated from playoff contention heading into Sunday's season finale versus the Browns, so it's possible the coaching staff could look to deploy Brown in more of an even timeshare with Mixon in an attempt to get a glimpse into the future.

Brown rushed four times for 16 yards and secured both of his targets for eight yards in Saturday's 34-11 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Brown operated as the Bengals' No. 2 running back Saturday, playing 14 of Cincinnati's 64 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, starter Joe Mixon played 38 snaps and carried the ball 11 times in the contest. Brown has earned extra opportunities in recent weeks, but he saw a dip in his recent usage on a day when the Bengals struggled to get much going on offense. The rookie will look to get more involved behind Mixon in a Week 17 matchup with the Chiefs.

Upgrades to full practice
Brown (sternum) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Jay Morrison of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: Brown thus is set to reprise his role as the Bengals' No. 2 back Saturday against Pittsburgh, following three straight games with at least nine touches on 18 or fewer snaps. Joe Mixon is still dominating the playing time in Cincinnati's backfield, but Brown also has emerged as a significant piece of the offense, remarkably touching the ball on 71.4 percent of his snaps over the past three weeks.

Dealing with injured sternum
Brown was limited at Tuesday's practice due to a sternum injury, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Brown entered Week 13 with five touches in the first six appearances of his career, but the rookie fifth-round pick has come on the last three games, combining for 30 touches for 217 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD. Assuming he gets through Week 16 prep and is able to play Saturday in Pittsburgh, he'll be a decent enough option for managers in need of RB depth.

Role continues to increase
Brown ran for 23 yards on seven carries in the 27-24 overtime win against the VIkings on Saturday, adding three receptions for 28 yards on three targets.
Analysis: It was a modest showing for Brown overall, but the interesting development is that he nearly matched the carry count of starter Joe Mixon (10). Brown's three targets also matched Mixon's target count. Brown will continue to play off the bench for the Bengals, but it appears he's gaining on Mixon on the Cincinnati depth chart.

Breakout performance
Brown had three catches for 80 yards and a touchdown to go along with eight carries for 25 yards in the Bengals' win over the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Brown was an afterthought early on in the season, but he's had big plays each of the last two weeks after finally recovering from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for four games. Joe Mixon is still the man, but Brown is becoming a reliable second back for the Bengals.

Meanwhile, lead back Joe Mixon scored two touchdowns but averaged fewer than 4.0 yards per carry for the second game in a row, which could prompt the Bengals to carve out a consistent role on…read more

Brown (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Brown will look to return to full practice participation Thursday or Friday to clear up any concern about his availability for Sunday's game against the Colts. The running back missed four games while on injured reserve due to the hamstring issue, but he was reinstated ahead of Week 12 and has played in Cincinnati's last two games.

Plays on special teams in return
Brown failed to record a single carry or target in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Brown returned to the field Sunday after four weeks on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, but he failed to play a single snap on offense. Instead, the rookie running back was used on special teams, playing just 11 snaps. Brown sits behind both Joe Mixon and Trayveon Williams on the depth chart, and he'll be far off the fantasy radar when the Bengals visit the Jaguars in Week 13.

Back in action Sunday
Brown (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Brown was activated from IR on Saturday, and he'll be in uniform for the first time since Week 6. In five games prior to landing in IR, the 2023 fifth-rounder carried just twice for six yards and caught three passes for seven yards, so until the rookie carves out a steady role behind top back Joe Mixon in a backfield that also includes Trayveon Williams, he'll be off the fantasy radar.

Activated off IR
The Bengals activated Brown (hamstring) off injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Brown was nearing the end of his 21-day window to be activated before this move. He is now on the active roster, but it remains to be seen if he will be active for Sunday's tilt against the Steelers. When healthy, he is expected to provide depth at running back while also being an option to contribute on special teams.

Questionable after full practices
Brown (hamstring) is still on injured reserve but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Analysis: Brown will need to be activated from injured reserve by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday to play Sunday. The rookie running back had his 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened Monday and subsequently participated fully in all three of Cincinnati's practices. If he's activated for Sunday's game, Brown could split the opportunities behind Joe Mixon with Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans in a Bengals offense that may become more run-heavy after Joe Burrow's season-ending wrist injury.

Designated to return from IR
The Bengals designated Brown (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Monday.
Analysis: The move opens Brown's 21-day practice window after he was initially sent to injured reserve on Oct. 28. The fifth-round rookie has appeared in five games, rushing two times for six yards and catching three passes for seven yards.

Moved to IR
The Bengals placed Brown (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Head coach Zac Taylor noted via Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site Friday that Brown picked up the injury in practice earlier in the week. He'll be forced to sit out for the next four games and will be eligible to return against the Steelers on Nov. 26. In the meantime, Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans will be in line for an increased workload behind starter Joe Mixon.

Ruled out for Week 8
Head coach Zac Taylor said Brown (hamstring) won't play Sunday against San Francisco and is week-to-week, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
Analysis: Taylor confirmed that Brown injured his hamstring in practice earlier in the week. With the rookie running back sidelined, Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans will be on hand as backup options behind workhorse Joe Mixon against the 49ers.

Tending to hamstring injury
Brown (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown and the Bengals are coming off a bye, so it would seem he picked up the hamstring issue at practice during the week. If he can't log a full practice Friday, he figures to carry an injury designation into the weekend.

Two touches in win
Brown rushed once for four yards and secured his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Brown operated as Cincinnati's No. 3 back, playing just four of the Bengals' 54 offensive snaps Sunday. The rookie's one rushing attempt was his first since Week 2 while he has earned just one target through the air in each of the last three games. Barring an injury to starter Joe Mixon or primary backup Trayveon Williams, Brown will likely continue to see extremely limited usage in the Bengals' offense. Cincinnati heads into a Week 7 bye before returning to visit the 49ers in Week 8.

Suiting up again
Brown is active for the second consecutive game Week 4 against the Titans, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Brown got the chance to make his season debut last week and played a few snaps on special teams, in addition to getting his first career carry. The reason for that was largely assumed to be fellow running back depth option Chris Evans sitting out with a hamstring injury, but Evans is back this week, and Brown remains active. Still, both options will presumably be working behind Joe Mixon and Trayveon Williams. While it represents progress for Brown, the rookie still has several hurdles to climb…read more

Gets first NFL carry
Brown played one offensive snap in Sunday's loss to the Ravens and had one carry for two yards.
Analysis: Brown also played seven snaps on special teams. He was active after sitting out the Week 1 loss to the Browns thanks to Chris Evans (hamstring) being sidelined, but Brown is also currently behind Trayveon Williams in the pecking order at running back.

Will make debut
Brown is active Sunday against the Ravens, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Brown was a healthy scratch Week 1, but with No. 3 running back Chris Evans (hamstring) inactive, the Illinois product will get the chance to operate in that role Sunday.

Won't debut Week 1
Brown (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
Analysis: A rookie fifth-round pick, Brown had an underwhelming preseason but still landed a spot on the Bengals' 53-man roster. However, it appears the Illinois product is still buried on the depth chart, as Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans will operate as the primary backups to Joe Mixon in Week 1.

Looking good for roster spot
Brown had 11 carries for 39 yards and two catches for a loss of one yard in Saturday's 21-19 preseason loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Th Bengals didn't have Joe Mixon (rest), Chris Evans (undisclosed) or Trayveon Williams (ankle), leaving Brown to make the start and dominate playing time early in the game with the second-team offense. Cincinnati then turned things over to undrafted rookies Jacob Saylors and Calvin Tyler, neither of whom did anything to unseat Brown, a fifth-round pick. Reports suggest Evans is the favorite to spell Mixon on third downs, but Brown at least appears in good position for a roster spot heading…read more

Punches in late score
Brown rushed the ball nine times for 18 yards with a touchdown in Friday's 13-13 tie against the Falcons in preseason action.
Analysis: Brown was the second back on the field for Cincinnati behind Chris Evans, though he still played late on the team's opening possession. He hasn't found much room to run in his first two games as a pro, tallying only 30 yards on 17 carries. On the bright side, Brown did manage to punch in a goal-line carry from three yards away late in the fourth quarter. Brown appears to be behind Evans on the depth chart at this point in the preseason, though he'll have one more opportunity to impress the team…read more

Struggles rushing in debut
Brown rushed eight times for 12 yards and caught all three of his targets for 33 yards in Friday's 36-19 preseason loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Brown came into the game after Chris Evans, who was far more effective on the ground (seven carries, 49 yards). The rookie fifth-round pick salvaged his debut with a decent performance as a pass catcher, but Brown appears to be trailing Evans in the competition for the No. 2 spot on the running back depth chart behind Joe Mixon. Trayveon Williams (ankle) is also in the mix despite sitting this game out, and all three will have a chance to improve their standing in the team's next preseason…read more
