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.

In the extremely unlikely event the Cincinnati Bengals trade linebacker Logan Wilson, it’s probably obvious to the entire NFL where he’ll go. The Indianapolis Colts, of course.

Bengals insist Hendrickson is not available, but ESPN links Bills, Cowboys, and Colts to LB Logan Wilson as teams call on multiple defenders.

The Cincinnati Bengals needed a win over the Chicago Bears in Week 9 before a bye to steady themselves at the break and NFL trade deadline. Joe Flacco and the offense tried, but the Bengals defense wouldn't be denied spoiling another game.
