Jonathan Allen returns to Bengals practice Friday morning No BJ Hill.

Reds win their final game of 2026 played domestically, 7-6, in Atlanta: * Carlos Jorge’s 11 putouts tonight were the most by any Reds outfielder in a single game of 9 innings or fewer since 1900. * Carlos Jorge's first career HR to lead off game. Additionally, Juan Brito (Wednesday) and Carlos Jorge (tonight) are the first set of rookie teammates in Reds history to each hit a leadoff home run in back-to-back team games. Entering tonight, there was just one instance in which the Reds had a leadoff homer from a rookie in back-to-back contests in franchise history (Gary Redus, 7/1-7/2, 1983 at Atlanta) * Sal Stewart (32hr) and Elly De La Cruz (30hr) are the first pair of teammates aged 24-or-younger to each hit 30+ HR in the same season in Reds history...first set of Major League teammates to accomplish this feat since 2021, when both Houston (Kyle Tucker, Yordan Alvarez) and Atlanta (Ozzie Albies, Austin Riley) featured 2 such players. * Carlos Jorge is the fifth Red in at least the last 50 years to hit a leadoff homer for his first career home run: --Carlos Jorge, tonight at Atlanta --Chris Dickerson, 8/15/08 vs St. Louis --Brady Clark, 6/13/01 at Chicago (AL) --Tracy Jones, 5/20/86 at St. Louis --Gary Redus, 9/19/82 vs Atlanta * 19 straight saves for Emilio Pagan and 20 since July 1.

Bengals injury report. Second straight day Jonathan Allen DNP with load management on his knee. Also no BJ Hill again:

Ja’Marr Chase on his fine for the elbow cell: “I think this is where the superstars have to get in with the NFLPA and fight for our money because if (Kyle Juszcyk) is getting fined for doing a drinking gesture, a juice gesture, then I mean I'm getting fined for an elbow doing the first down. I mean, I can't really do much about it. I mean, we can complain. I don't even think we can tweet about it because we get fined for tweeting about it. But like, it's really like players got to be much everything. But we got to have a superstar in the NFLPA to help us along the way.”

Ja'Marr Chase says he did get fined for doing the elbow... "It's literally a wrestling move... This is where the superstars have to get in with NFLPA and fight for our money."

Ja'Marr Chase on Jalen Ramsey: "I don't expect us to match up that much at all, to be honest."

Ja'Marr Chase says he didn't check his phone for any messages until after he landed back in Cincinnati. One of more interesting texts he got was from Adrian Peterson.

Still a ways to go before Sunday but if BJ Hill (Achilles) and Jonathan Allen (knee/load management) unable to go Sunday, Landon Robinson would figure to be in the mix to get his first NFL snaps.

Joe Burrow on the move Thursday in individual QB drills

No Jonathan Allen again Thursday. Was on injury report Wednesday with a knee issue. Zac Taylor said it was load management.

Bengals back in full pads Thursday

A must-read and terrific reporting. Eye-opening stuff on why the organization is in incredible turmoil. Not sounding great for the immediate future, even after a new CBA, whenever that comes.
