    Bengals RG Dalton Risner (knee) is questionable to play in Week 4 against the Jaguars.

    Risner is one of the Bengals’ best offensive linemen, profiling as an all-around talented run blocker and pass protector. He sat out on Wednesday and Thursday before practicing in full on Friday. He seemingly has a chance to play. Having him on the field would be very helpful against the Jaguars.

    Offensive tackle Myles Hinton is also questionable with an illness. It looks like something is going around the Cincy locker room.
  • CIN Guard #66
    Risner signed a one-year, $5 million contract extension with the Bengals in the offseason. He has started all three games at right guard this year. Risner has allowed just three pressures this year and has been a solid contributor in the run game as well. Jalen Rivers took his reps in practice today, meaning he is the next man up if Risner can’t go on Sunday.
  • CIN Guard #66
    Risner joined the Bengals last offseason after he was let go by the Vikings after training camp. The veteran guard appeared in 14 games for the Bengals last season while making 11 starts, and did more than enough to warrant an extension this offseason. Risner played on 768 snaps last season and allowed only two sacks, per TruMedia.
  • He’ll probably step in as an instant starter at right guard, with the Lucas Patrick and Cody Ford tandem struggling in the preseason. Risner had a 67.0 PFF blocking grade in 2024 and has been roughly an adequate guard over his six NFL seasons. That makes him a huge upgrade on what the Bengals had in-house. Risner took visits with the Bengals and Seahawks before picking Cincinnati.
  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports the Seahawks will host OG Dalton Risner for a visit.
    Risner visited the Bengals on Tuesday and will continue his visits with the Seahawks. Seattle just added first-rounder Grey Zabel to the interior offensive line, but is looking to add depth to a group that struggled last season. Fowler also reports Risner is considering visiting the Steelers. The 30-year-old wants to take multiple visits as the preseason winds down before making a decision.
  • NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports the Bengals will host OG Dalton Risner for a visit on Tuesday.
    Risner, 30, has 81 career starts to his name and spent last season with the Vikings. The veteran guard earned a PFF blocking grade of 67.0 last season while starting all eight games he appeared in after returning from a back injury that kept him out for the first 10 weeks of the season. Risner would provide plenty of experience to an interior offensive line whose current projected starters include a rookie third-round pick and a 32-year-old vet in Lucas Patrick.
  • MIN Guard #66
    The veteran guard will make his team debut in Week 9 and could force his way back into the starting lineup after starting 11 games in 15 appearances for the Vikings a season ago.
  • MIN Guard #66
    Like T.J. Hockenson (knee, injured reserve), Risner was ruled out earlier Thursday. The hope is that he is ready for Week 9. Joining Risner and Hockenson on the shelf are QB Brett Rypien, CB Akayleb Evans, CB Dwight McGlothern, RB Myles Gaskin, DL Levi Drake Rodriguez, LB Blake Cashman and OT Walter Rouse.
  • MIN Guard #66
    Risner was placed on injured reserve with a back injury to open the season and could not practice for much of the offseason. The veteran guard started in 11 of the 15 games he appeared in last season for the Vikings, and could find his way back in the starting lineup once he’s officially cleared to return. The Vikings have 21 days to officially activate from Risner, so there’s no guarantee we see him in Week 7 against the Lions.
  • MIN Guard #66
    We don’t know the specifics of Risner’s injury, but the veteran guard will now miss at least the first four games of the season while working his way back to the gridiron. There was some speculation that the Vikings would cut Risner after he missed much of the offseason, but they will instead give him time to work his way back to the field. Risner played on 745 offensive snaps for the Vikings last season, earning a PFF blocking grade of 57.1. He was brought back on a one-year deal after his strong first season with the team.

    Panthers declared TE Ja’Tavion Sanders, RB AJ Dillon, DT TeRah Edwards, C Sam Hecht, QB Haynes King, CB Will Lee, and LB Bobby Okereke inactive for Week 10 against the Saints.

    Sanders will be out against the Saints, meaning Tommy Tremble will get a decent number of snaps and routes. He’ll be the TE2 behind Darren Waller, coming off his biggest game of the season. The Saints this season have allowed the third highest fantasy points per target to opposing tight ends.

    Colts declared QB Riley Leonard, LS Luke Rhodes, LB Jaylon Carlies, OT Jalen Travis, TE Will Mallory, and DT Jerry Tillery inactive for Week 10 against the Dolphins.

    The Colts already declared several players out prior to Sunday’s game against the Dolphins. Leonard will be the emergency third quarterback while Rhodes (hamstring), Carlies (neck), Travis (knee), Tillery (calf) and Mallory (hamstring) are dealing with injuries.

    Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) is officially active against the Bills in Week 10.

    That means all of Cooper Jr., Garrett Wilson, and Adonai Mitchell will be active. This is a good matchup against the Bills’ secondary in a game where the Jets figure to be trailing and needing to throw; however, it’s hard to predict which of the Jets’ wide receivers will deliver in that one. That makes Cooper Jr. a risky FLEX option. The Jets declared WR Tim Patrick, TE Jelani Woods, EDGE Nate Lynn, LB Trevin Wallace, and CB Jarvis Brownlee Jr. inactive for Week 10 against the Bills.

    Travis Etienne (hamstring) is active for Week 10 against the Panthers.

    Saints declared RB CJ Donaldson, S Mike Reid, LB Jaylan Ford, OT Taliese Fuaga, C Erik McCoy, and QB Zach Wilson inactive for Week 10. The Saints backfield will get Etienne back after an extended absence while Donaldson will be inactive. Etienne will likely split the workload with Alvin Kamara and Audric Estime, who last week led the Saints backfield in carries.

    Tyjae Spears (knee) is active for Week 10 against the Jaguars.

    Spears is active for the first time since Week 6. He will pick up some work on passing downs but isn’t much more than an RB4 for fantasy purposes. Inactive for the Titans are WR Carnell Tate, LB Anthony Hill Jr., LB Cody Barton, RB Nick Singleton, OT Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, and CB Jaylon Jones, and DL Jackie Marshall.

    Christian Benford (wrist) is active for Week 10 against the Jets.

    Benford was questionable due to a wrist injury suffered in last week’s game against the Vikings. With Jordan Hancock also coming off the injured list, the Bills have a fully healthy secondary, including the addition of safety Amani Hooker. The Bills declared QB Shane Buechele, OT Jude Bowry, OL Ar’maj Reed-Adams, DL Greg Gaines, OLB Mike Danna, and S Jalon Kilgore inactive.

    Chris Bell (knee) is inactive for Week 10 against the Colts.

    Bell entered the weekend doubtful after re-aggravating his knee in practice and not practicing on Thursday or Friday. Despite the absence of Bell, no Dolphins pass-catchers get a boost with Kyle McCord at quarterback. Dolphins also declared OL Aaron Brewer, CB Marcellas Dial Jr., TE Justin Joly, WR Jared Wayne, and OL Caedan Wallace inactive for Week 10 against the Colts.

    Will Anderson Jr. (ankle) is active for Houston’s Week 10 game against the Browns.

    Anderson was questionable and did not practice on Friday, so he’s presumably gutting it out as the Texans go without Danielle Hunter (hamstring) and Azeez Al-Shaair (groin) in what looks like a must-win game. Also ruled out on Friday and Saturday were Marvin Harrison (hamstring), TE Brevin Jordan (finger/foot), C/G Keylan Rutledge (neck) and David Montgomery (groin), and they’re joined by G Wyatt Teller (back/illness) on the inactives list.

    Falcons declared WR Zachariah Branch, QB Andy Dalton, LB Divine Deablo, CB Avieon Terrell WR, QB Jack Strand, CB Robert Longerbeam and OL Cameron Williams inactive for Week 10 against the Chiefs.

    It has been a disappointing rookie season for third-rounder Branch, who seemed like he might be in line for some first-year targets. Instead he has under 100 yards receiving and is now injured. A first-year washout like this makes Branch something of a dicey long-term prospect in Dynasty leagues.

    Jaguars C Robert Hainsey (consussion) is active for Week 10 against the Titans.

    Hainsey cleared concussion protocol earlier this week and is good to go. Inactive for the Jags are S Jessie Bates III, WR CJ Williams, DT Jordan Davis, DE Wesley Williams, and DT Albert Regis.
