Chase Brown Uncertain for Bengals vs. Steelers

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is a game-time decision for their crucial Week 18 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to an ankle injury sustained in the previous game against the Denver Broncos. Brown, diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, was unable to finish the game and has not practiced this week, raising concerns about his availability. Bengals head coach Zac Taylor stated, 'we'll see' regarding Brown's status, indicating uncertainty about his participation. If Brown is unable to play, Khalil Herbert, who stepped in during Brown's absence, is expected to take on the lead role, supported by Trayveon Williams as the only other healthy back on the roster. The Bengals need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, alongside losses from the Broncos and Dolphins. Brown's performance this season has been notable, with impressive PFF grades reflecting his impact on the field.
