Geno Stone's Injury: Cincinnati Bengals safety Geno Stone is currently week-to-week with a soft tissue injury, likely a shin contusion, sustained during a collision with teammate Vonn Bell in a Week 7 game against the Cleveland Browns. Initially feared to be severe, requiring him to be carted off, positive updates indicate no fracture, with a "week-to-week at worst" prognosis. Head coach Zac Taylor expressed optimism, noting Stone’s absence from Wednesday’s practice but suggesting he could return for the upcoming Philadelphia Eagles game. Stone, a key starter who played all 17 games last season, is expected to resume his role alongside Jordan Battle, with Tycen Anderson and Daijahn Anthony filling in during his recovery. His interception in the Browns game underscores his importance to the Bengals’ secondary.

Jermaine Burton’s Absence: Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton missed Sunday’s practice due to an undisclosed injury, deemed day-to-day by the team. The second-year player addressed speculation via social media, clarifying his absence was injury-related, not due to prior character concerns from his rookie season, where he struggled with playbook mastery and punctuality. Despite a modest rookie year (four catches, 107 yards), Burton’s recent camp performances showed promise, with offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher praising his downfield ability. His absence, though minor, is a setback as he competes for snaps behind Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Andrei Iosivas.

Joe Burrow’s Ranking: In The Athletic’s latest 2025 NFL quarterback rankings, Joe Burrow is firmly a Tier 1 quarterback, lauded for his elite decision-making and resilience despite injury challenges. Leading the Bengals to a 3-4 record, including a recent win over the Browns, Burrow’s 181 yards and two touchdowns in that game highlight his Tier 1 status among NFL passers.
