Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday due to a right-shoulder injury, according to Paul Dehner Jr. Flacco went down as a non-participant during Wednesday's practice, but he was able to do more in practice on Thursday and is expected to be ready to start this weekend against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers coming out of their bye. The 40-year-old has put up some gaudy numbers since coming to Cincy, but he might only be in line to make two more starts for his new team with Joe Burrow (toe) nearing a return from Injured Reserve. Flacco was on the injury report in Week 9 with his shoulder injury, but he played through it and threw for 470 yards in the loss to the Bears, so we think he'll be alright for this weekend against a Steelers secondary that has been shaky in 2025.

ESPN's Ben Baby reports that Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is taking part in the portion of practice on Wednesday that is open to the media. It was an unpadded practice for the Bengals, and Burrow threw passes in sweatpants and a helmet. The Bengals opened their 21-day practice window on Monday, and the 28-year-old signal-caller is eyeing a potential return for the Thanksgiving Day game against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens in three weeks. He will officially be listed as limited on Wednesday. Whether the former first overall pick actually plays in three weeks on Turkey Day will depend on how much progress he makes and the team's record at that point. Cincy isn't going to rush the face of the franchise back if their chances of making the postseason are slim. Still, fantasy managers should be looking to pick Burrow up and stash him if he's available on the waiver wire.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (pectoral) has been making positive progress in his recovery from a pectoral injury suffered in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. Gesicki was placed on Injured Reserve following that game and is now entering the fourth game he was required to miss on IR, but should have a good chance of returning in Week 12 versus the Patriots. The 30-year-old was having a quiet start to the year before going down, catching eight of 16 targets for 61 yards in six games. Noah Fant has mostly filled in as the Bengals' tight end with Gesicki sidelined, and he's been a solid contributor, recording 13 catches for 140 yards and two touchdowns since Week 6. Fant will again be a low-end streaming option for fantasy managers in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco (shoulder) will not throw at practice on Wednesday as the team takes a cautious approach with him while he manages an AC joint sprain. Flacco suffered the injury in the Bengals' Week 8 win over the New York Jets and didn't seem to be affected by it the next week against the Bears, completing 31 of 47 passes for a career high 470 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions. The 40-year-old has thrived as Cincinnati's starting quarterback after the Bengals acquired him from the Browns ahead of their Week 6 matchup against the Packers. Flacco is the QB2 in PPR points per game since then, averaging 24.9 points per game. The Bengals' poor defense fuels high-scoring game environments, and he's been distributing the ball efficiently to his elite wide receiver duo in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. If Flacco is unable to go, Jake Browning would be in line to start. The Bengals also opened the 21-day practice window for starting quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) on Monday, and he's targeting a return on Thanksgiving night against the Ravens, which would give Flacco two more starts for Cincinnati.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) "looked really sharp" in his return to practice on Monday, according to Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Burrow played in two games to begin the 2025 season before suffering a turf-toe injury that required surgery and landed him on Injured Reserve. The 28-year-old's 21-day practice window was officially opened this week, and he could be eyeing a return for the Thanksgiving Day game on Thursday, Nov. 27, against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Various factors will play into whether Burrow will actually return on that date, most notably being the Bengals' record and their chances at making a playoff run. But if the Bengals can win their next two games with veteran Joe Flacco at the helm, Burrow could start against Baltimore on Turkey Day. If Burrow is available on the waiver wire and you could use an upgrade at QB, he's worth stashing in the event he makes it back before December.
