With New York Giants quarterback Jackson Dart officially ruled out for the rest of the 2026 NFL regular season, could the Giants call Bengals executive Duke Tobin about Joe Flacco? John Harbaugh has confirmed New York will be adding another quarterback, and Flacco’s decade-long history with Harbaugh in Baltimore makes him an obvious name to watch.

But would the Bengals actually trade Joe Flacco?

In this episode of Chatterbox Bengals, we break down why Cincinnati should be extremely hesitant to move Flacco — even if the Giants offered a first-round pick. The Bengals have legitimate Super Bowl aspirations in 2026, and having a veteran backup quarterback capable of keeping the team competitive if Joe Burrow misses time could be invaluable.

We also discuss the latest Cincinnati Bengals injury news surrounding Andrei “Yoshi” Iosivas. Iosivas suffered a torn ligament in his thumb and is expected to miss approximately four to six weeks after being placed on injured reserve. Who replaces Yoshi in the Bengals offense?

Dohnte Myers is one player who could see a much bigger role after an impressive start to the season. We also break down opportunities for Ke'Shawn Williams, Colbie Young, Mike Gesicki, Erick All Jr., Tanner Hudson and Noah Thomas.

Plus, we preview the Bengals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers matchup and discuss how Cincinnati can replace Yoshi’s production both as a receiver and as a blocker.

This Bengals-Steelers preview breaks down the biggest storylines heading into Sunday, including the latest injury news for both teams. Cincinnati could potentially be without defensive tackles B.J. Hill and Jonathan Allen, who both missed practice Thursday. With Dexter Lawrence, Allen and Hill helping transform the Bengals defensive front, their availability could have a major impact against Pittsburgh.

The Bengals will also be without Yoshi, who was placed on injured reserve with a thumb injury. On the Pittsburgh side, Michael Pittman Jr., Rico Dowdle, Joey Porter Jr., Jalen Ramsey and several other Steelers players are dealing with injuries heading into the matchup.

The keys to the game start with stopping the run. Cincinnati held Houston to fewer than 20 rushing yards last week and now faces a Pittsburgh offense that could lean heavily on Jaylen Warren and the short passing game. Cincinnati’s linebackers, Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr., will need to tackle well in space against Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers' checkdown-heavy attack.

The Bengals secondary will also have a major challenge against DK Metcalf and Pittsburgh's receiving corps, while Cincinnati's elite pass rush looks to make life difficult for Rodgers. Boye Mafe, Myles Murphy, Cashius Howell, Dexter Lawrence and the rest of the defensive front have been creating consistent pressure through the first two weeks.

Offensively, Joe Burrow needs to protect the football, get the ball out quickly, lean on Chase Brown and avoid giving T.J. Watt and the Steelers' pass rush opportunities to change the game. Evan McPherson will also be important in what could be a low-scoring, physical AFC North battle.
