Brown did not participate in any of the three practice sessions the Bengals held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. However, reports suggest that he did take part in Friday's walkthrough. Brown will take part in Cincinnati's pre-game workout on Saturday before kickoff and the Bengals will then take a call on the player.

Brown injured his right ankle in the fourth quarter of the Bengals' 30-24 overtime win against the Denver Broncos in Week 17. He exited the game after going down at the 1-yard line when he intentionally slid to keep the clock moving.

Now, it remains to be seen whether Brown will play against the Steelers.

Cincinnati still has a narrow chance of making the playoffs with a win over Pittsburgh. The Bengals will also need the New York Jets to beat the Miami Dolphins, and the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Denver Broncos to help them get into the postseason.

How has Bengals RB Chase Brown performed this season?

Brown has recorded 990 yards and seven touchdowns on 229 carries. He has also contributed 360 yards and four touchdowns on 54 receptions across 16 games.

The Bengals will have a better chance of beating the Steelers if Brown plays on Saturday night. Here's a look at the TV schedule and live stream details for the Bengals-Steelers Week 18 game.
