Cincinnati Bengals receiver Andrei Iosivas is going on injured reserve because of a thumb injury ahead of the team's NFL Week 3 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium.

Iosivas suffered a torn ligament in his thumb, according to head coach Zac Taylor.

Iosivas is in his fourth NFL season with the Bengals. He was a sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft from Princeton University.

During the 2025 season, Iosivas was injured during the fourth quarter of the team's Week 12 loss to New England at Paycor Stadium, shortly after quarterback Joe Flacco injured his finger. Iosivas returned later in the fourth quarter, and finished the game with four catches for 61 receiving yards.
