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.

Jaxson Dart injury

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.

The Cincinnati Bengals suffered their first loss of the 2026 season, falling 30-27 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in a frustrating AFC North battle. Cincinnati had multiple opportunities to take control, but costly penalties, special teams mistakes, and a late Joe Burrow fumble ultimately proved too much to overcome. The Chatterbox Bengals crew breaks down everything that went wrong, including the decisions and mistakes that changed the game, Burrow’s three-touchdown performance, big days from Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and the defense’s struggles against Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers offense. Plus, what does the loss mean for Cincinnati moving forward?

The Bengals opened as 8.5-point favorites, but the spread has dropped to 6.5 points. We'll discuss what that line movement could mean and why Cincinnati cannot afford to overlook a desperate Miami team.

The latest Bengals injury report includes Ja'Marr Chase's concussion protocol and chances of playing, Tee Higgins' groin, adductor, and neck injuries, Jonathan Allen's knee, and updates on Brian Cook, Jordan Battle, Barrett Carter, Dalton Risner, BJ Hill, and the Bengals' secondary. How will these injuries impact Cincinnati's chances against Miami?

Joe Burrow must protect the football and avoid costly interceptions. Can Chase Brown help establish the running game? Will the Bengals defense pressure Malik Willis, create turnovers, and eliminate missed tackles? We also discuss Cincinnati's need for a fast start, improved tackling, better field position, and more aggressive defensive play-calling.

We examine the Bengals' chances of winning the AFC North, where they stand behind Baltimore, and why a victory before the bye week could be crucial to their playoff hopes.

Can Cincinnati cover the spread and earn a convincing road win? We share our Bengals vs Dolphins prediction and final score, explaining why this is a major opportunity for Joe Burrow and the Bengals to get back on track.

The Bengals’ decision to bring back Mitch Tinsley and move on from Ke’Shawn Williams is a relatively small roster move that nevertheless says plenty about Cincinnati’s priorities after Sunday’s loss to Pittsburgh.

Cincinnati is re-signing Tinsley off the Houston Texans’ practice squad and adding him to the active roster, giving the Bengals a familiar player at a position that has suddenly become thin. Rookie Colbie Young is dealing with a knee injury, while Andrei Iosivas remains on injured reserve with a thumb injury. Tinsley spent last season with Cincinnati and caught eight passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns, so he already knows the offense and has experience with Joe Burrow and Joe Flacco.

The corresponding move is the release of Williams, who was elevated into a bigger role against Pittsburgh after being inactive during Cincinnati’s first two games. Williams’ most consequential moment came on special teams, when he muffed a punt that Pittsburgh recovered. NFL statistics credit him with one lost fumble in the game.

The move is particularly notable because Williams had only recently won his roster spot. Cincinnati chose him over Charlie Jones at final cuts and identified him as one of the team’s primary return options. He had also made an impression during the preseason, including a touchdown catch in the finale against Philadelphia.

Tinsley, meanwhile, was one of the players Cincinnati chose to waive at the end of August, with Dohnte Meyers and Young ultimately making the roster ahead of him. Now the Bengals are reversing that decision less than a month later.

The timing inevitably connects the move to Sunday's special-teams problems, but the larger issue is depth. Cincinnati needs another receiver who can step in quickly, and Tinsley offers familiarity at a time when the room has taken several hits. For Williams, one mistake in his first meaningful regular-season opportunity has resulted in a remarkably quick change in circumstances.
