CINCINNATI — Bengals running back Samaje Perine suffered a right ankle injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Bears and is doubtful to return. Perine suffered the injury on a kickoff return. He spent a few seconds on the ground, clearly in pain, but popped up and jogged off the field under his own power.

As expected, topics of the phones ringing at Paycor Stadium include Trey Hendrickson and Logan Wilson. It would be an outright stunner and lopsided deal favoring the Bengals to get Hendrickson out of Cincinnati, regardless of whether they win on Sunday.

The Cincinnati Bengals made a seemingly innocent roster move ahead of kickoff against the New York Jets in Week 8. There, the Bengals elevated Joe Giles-Harris from the practice squad to the active roster for the game. Not a big deal, considering the Jets will start quarterback Justin Fields and see to run the ball early and often.
