Titans vs Bengals Week 15 Injury Report: Latest on Joe Burrow, Orlando Brown, Tony Pollard, and more

The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football to end a three-game losing streak in Week 14. They will want to make it two wins in a row when they travel to Tennessee to play the Titans in Week 15 to keep their playoff hopes alive.

It’s been a difficult season for the Bengals, a team that came into the season with high expectations. While the franchise has really impressed offensively, it has one of the worst defenses in the NFL.

The Bengals know going into Week 15 that a defeat would mean they are out of the running for the postseason, but that shouldn't be an issue since they are playing the Titans, who are 3-10 on the season and recently fell to Mac Jones and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Let's take a look at the injury reports for both teams ahead of their Sunday afternoon clash.

Bengals injury report for Week 15

Three Cincinnati Bengals players have been officially ruled out for the road game against the Tennessee Titans: linebacker Joe Bachie (groin), defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (illness) and left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (fibula). Brown will now miss his second straight matchup due to a fibula injury, while Rankins has been out for almost a month due to illness.

Wide receiver Charlie Jones (groin), who has not played since Week 8, is the only player the team gave a "questionable" tag on its final injury report after he logged a limited participation in Friday's practice.

Everyone else, including quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist/knee), wide receiver Tee Higgins (NIR), defensive end Trey Hendrickson (NIR) and defensive end Joseph Ossai (elbow), are not carrying any injury designation into the weekend.

Orlando Brown injury update

Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. is still recovering from a fibula injury that kept him out for the game against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday. He will remain sidelined this week after he didn't practice at all during the week due to the injury.

Brown has missed five of the last seven Cincinnati outings due to the injury, which he has been battling since October. Cody Ford will continue to start in his place against Tennessee in Week 15.

Joe Burrow injury update

Joe Burrow was limited in his participation in Cincinnati Bengals practice sessions on Wednesday and Thursday due to a knee injury. However, earlier in the week, coach Zac Taylor assured the media that the quarterback would be available. Taylor clarified that Burrow's knee was simply sore.

Burrow returned as a full participant in practice on Friday and was taken off the team's injury report, so he will be a full go against Tennessee on Sunday.

Titans injury report for Week 15

For their game against the Cincinnati Bengals at home, the Tennessee Titans have classified offensive tackle Jaylen Duncan (hamstring), running back Tony Pollard (ankle), linebacker Otis Reese (ankle) and cornerback Roger McCRearey (shoulder) as questionable.

Wideout Tyler Boyd (foot) and every other player listed on this week's injury report have been cleared to play.

Tony Pollard injury update

RB Tony Pollard has been given a questionable designation for the Week 15 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He didn't practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle injury, but he was able to log limited practice participation on Friday.

The former Dallas Cowboys rusher has missed multiple practices this season because of foot and ankle problems, but he hasn't sat out a game yet. He will probably suit up once more on Sunday at Nissan Stadium.
