Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah is expected to play in Sunday's Super Bowl matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, head coach Zac Taylor announced Friday, according to ESPN's Ben Baby.

Uzomah suffered a knee injury early in the AFC championship win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

The 28-year-old said Monday he would do "everything I can" to avoid missing the game.

"I don't really care too much about how I'm feeling, to be honest, when I'm out there," he said.

Uzomah set career highs with 49 catches for 493 yards and five touchdowns during the regular season.
