Khalil Herbert will make his Bengals debut on Thursday night against the Ravens, league sources confirmed.

How big of a role could Herbert play? He'll be a compliment to Chase Brown on offense. He could see a few carries and also has experience as a kick returner. Look for him to have a role on special teams too.

So it sounds like Herbert will work in as a short-yardage back, leaving a majority of the workload to Brown in Game 1. Herbert doesn't need to be started in Week 10 but odds are good that he'll be in fantasy consideration moving forward. Brown should be locked into lineups in this divisional rivalry.

Bengals are listing WR Tee Higgins as doubtful for Thursday night’s game against the Ravens.

The biggest storyline from this continued time off has been Gesicki, who is a fantastic TE streamer once again in Week 10, should Higgins end up missing.

Higgins missed practice all of last week and did not play in Sunday’s win over the Raiders, the story pointed out. With Higgins out and Burton also out last week, Chase, Iosivas and Irwin were the top WRs, but Gesicki had a big game from the TE position and could be a top target again. The Bengals play on Thursday night at the Ravens.

Tight end Erick All and running back Zack Moss have been placed on injured reserve. All will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL and Moss is expected to miss extended time with a neck injury.

With Moss out, the Bengals made a move for Herbert who should take over as the team's RB2 behind Brown and give the team some depth with Williams.

Running back Khalil Herbert is on to Cincinnati.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Bengals have agreed to a trade with the Bears that will add Herbert to their backfield for the rest of the season. A 2025 seventh-round pick will go back to the Bears as compensation.

Moss is dealing with a neck injury and there is no timetable for his return, we reported on Monday. So the Bengals needed help at the position. Herbert should slide in as the team's RB2 behind Brown, who is the clear RB1. Meanwhile in Chicago, Johnson becomes an interesting fantasy addition as the team's clear RB2 behind Swift. Swift started slow this season, but has come on as of late, however, Johnson could see his value climb and is probably worth adding off the wire if you have the room.

And Zac Taylor also said RB Zack Moss is out indefinitely due to his neck injury.

With Moss out, Brown looks to be the team's RB1 going forward, and has been backing it up with RB1 numbers as well. Look for the team to ride Brown, but Williams now enters the picture as the team's RB2.

Bengals HC Zac Taylor said TE Erick All Jr. suffered a torn ACL.

All was making a name for himself the first half of the season, at least as an up-and-coming player. Gesicki, however, has been hot lately, too. But the future looks to be All at the TE position for the Bengals.

Tee Higgins and Orlando Brown Jr. will be listed as doubtufl on the Bengals injury report vs. the Raiders.

If Higgins misses more time, expect Chase's target share to skyrocket, while Iosivas would once again be an interesting deep-league Flex play option, while Gesicki returns to TE streamer range. It's worth mentioning that rookie Jermaine Burton has been seeing more of the field, with Joe Burrow commenting on his performance throughout the week.
