Bengals RB Chase Brown Misses Second Straight Practice with Illness

Bengals RB Chase Brown (illness) missed Thursday's practice, marking his second consecutive 'Did Not Practice' designation. His availability for Sunday's season finale against the Browns remains uncertain. If Brown is sidelined or limited for Week 18, additional backfield reps and touches would become available for fellow running backs Samaje Perine and Tahj Brooks. The team's final practice on Friday will be crucial for his status.
