Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Charlie Jones (groin) and left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (fibula) both remained limited in practice on Thursday. Jones has missed three consecutive weeks and has just one catch for five yards during eight games this season. Brown has also missed three games in a row. He has a decent chance to play in Week 13, but if he's inactive, Cody Ford would likely step up as the Bengals' starting left tackle.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Charlie Jones (groin) missed his second straight day of practice on Tuesday. The second-year wideout sat out of last week's game due to the same groin issue. There's a good chance that Jones misses Thursday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. His absence won't make much of a difference to this offense. Jones hasn't been targeted in the receiving game since the season opener. He has mainly been returning kicks, but Trenton Irwin took over that role for Jones last week. That figures to happen again if Jones is unable to play on Thursday.

The Cincinnati Bengals officially activated wide receiver Charlie Jones (thumb) from Injured Reserve on Thursday, and he will be active for Thursday Night Football against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals also elevated receiver Shedrick Jackson from the practice squad to the active roster with Tee Higgins (hamstring) missing a second straight game. Jones had been on IR since Sept. 29. The 25-year-old will merely provide receiver depth behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Trenton Irwin with rookie Andrei Iosivas (knee) also unavailable due to injury. Jones caught one pass for six yards in his first three NFL games before getting hurt.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Charlie Jones (thumb) was ruled out for Week 10 versus the Houston Texans. He had been designated to return from IR earlier this week but was never activated, making him ineligible to play. While Jones has just one catch this season and isn't typically a notable weapon for Cincinnati, his absence this week is noteworthy with Ja'Marr Chase (back) potentially limited and Tee Higgins (hamstring) inactive. Shedrick Jackson and Stanley Morgan will round out the bottom of the depth chart in Jones' absence.

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Charlie Jones (thumb) has been on Injured Reserve after suffering a thumb injury early in his debut campaign. On Wednesday, the Bengals opened the 21-day window to activate him from IR. Jones played in three games before being sidelined, catching just one pass for six yards. However, he returned eight punts for 150 yards and a touchdown. Getting him back would mean a boost to the Cincinnati special teams, but he's unlikely to enter the fantasy radar unless the Bengals' receiving corps picks up a ton of injuries. The 25-year-old can be safely ignored in redraft leagues.

The Cincinnati Bengals placed rookie wide receiver Charlie Jones (thumb) on Injured Reserve and acquired linebacker Devin Harper off waivers from the Dallas Cowboys in a corresponding move on Saturday. Jones, a rookie from Purdue, suffered a thumb injury in the Monday night win over the Los Angeles Rams, will now have to miss at least the next four games. The earliest the 24-year-old pass-catcher can return will be on Nov. 5 against the Buffalo Bills. In his first three NFL games, the fourth-round selection had just one catch for a six-yard gain on two targets. Jones also returned eight punts for 150 total yards on special teams.
