Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is currently sidelined due to a mild right high-ankle sprain sustained during the Week 17 overtime victory against the Denver Broncos. While there is hope for his return in the regular-season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, his participation in practice later in the week will be crucial for his availability. If he cannot play, Khalil Herbert is expected to take on the primary running back role.

• Chase Brown is dealing with a mild high-ankle sprain.
