Bengals' Eifert to miss 2nd consecutive game Monday vs. Broncos

The Cincinnati Bengals will be without their top tight end Monday against the Denver Broncos' top-ranked defense.

Tyler Eifert, who missed last week's game with a concussion, has yet to clear concussion protocol so he was officially ruled out as part of Saturday's injury report.

Previous reports indicated the Bengals could hold him out until the playoffs.

Safety George Iloka also appears likely to miss a second consecutive game due to a groin injury, as he was listed as doubtful after sitting out the entire week of practice.

The Bengals enter Week 16 in need of a win to secure both an AFC North title and a first-round bye.
