The Cincinnati Bengals will look to move to 3-0 on Sunday when they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in their first AFC North action of 2026. It was a light injury report for most of the week for Cincinnati, so they look fairly healthy heading into the matchup.
Defensive tackle Jonathan Allen (rest/knee) was listed as a nonparticipant on both Wednesday and Thursday, but returned to the practice field on Friday. He was still listed as a nonparticipant, but has no game status. He will play Sunday, per
head coach Zac Taylor,
Defensive tackle B.J. Hill (Achilles) missed practice all week. After sitting out Week 2, the Bengals will likely be without him again. He is listed as doubtful on the final report.
Wide receiver Andrei Iosivas (thumb) has still not been placed on injured reserve, but is listed as out for Sunday.
Dexter Lawrence II got a rest day, but is good to go for Sunday.
For the Steelers, cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (conditioning) is listed as questionable. Porter is healthy, but hasn’t been on the field as he and Pittsburgh are at odds over a new contract. Porter sounded like he may play in Thursday’s media session, but that’s clearly no guarantee.
Wide receiver Michael Pittman (foot) is also listed as questionable, meaning they could be down their big-ticket receiver acquisition from the offseason.
Running back Jaylen Warren (shoulder) is listed as questionable, which could impact Pittsburgh’s already struggling offense.
Fellow running back Rico Dowdle (toe) has been ruled out, along with rookie guard Gennings Dunker (knee).
Finally, starting cornerback Jamel Dean (ankle) is questionable.
