Bengals' Tyler Eifert: Inactive Sunday against Denver

Eifert (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.

Analysis:

Eifert logged three consecutive limited practices this week, but was not expected to suit up despite the fact that he was never officially ruled out. A return next week for Thursday's matchup with Miami remains a possibility, but for the time being, C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Kroft stand to see the majority of tight end snaps for Cincinnati. Despite the short week ahead, a Week 4 return for Eifert has been the target since late-August.
