The Cincinnati Bengals have lost offensive tackle Trent Brown for the remainder of the season due to a ruptured patellar tendon in his right knee, sustained during a game against the Washington Commanders. Brown had been a key player for the Bengals, starting all three games this season. His injury opens the door for rookie Amarius Mims, who made his NFL debut in the same game.

• Trent Brown's injury is a significant blow to the Bengals' offensive line.
• Rookie Amarius Mims is expected to step up in Brown's absence.
