Sunday night’s primetime clash at Paycor Stadium will feature the Cincinnati Bengals hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers, with first place in the AFC North on the line. Both clubs arrive on four‑game winning streaks and, according to the latest injury reports, will be largely healthy for the contest.
Injury report: Bengals
The Bengals have announced only one player as officially out for the game: safety Kyle Dugger. Dugger, a veteran who joined Cincinnati’s secondary before the 2026 season, has missed action since Oct. 25 while nursing a quad injury. He has participated in just 15 percent of snaps in the four games he was available this season.
Three additional players – wide receiver Andrei Iosivas, cornerback Jalen Davis and guard Brian Parker – have had their practice windows opened after recent stints on injured reserve, but they remain listed as doubtful for Sunday’s matchup.
Injury report: Steelers
The Steelers have not ruled any player out, but defensive tackle Derrick Harmon carries a questionable designation after dealing with a foot injury this week. Harmon has appeared in four games this season, recording 1.5 sacks and 12 total tackles.
What’s at stake
Both teams are eager to maintain their unbeaten runs and solidify their positions atop the AFC North. A win for Cincinnati would keep the Bengals in firm control of the division, while a Steelers victory could tighten the race and set up a pivotal late‑season showdown.
Game details
The game is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday at Paycor Stadium and will be broadcast nationally on WLWT. Fans can expect a hard‑fought, defensive‑oriented contest as both squads look to protect their quarterbacks and capitalize on the limited injury concerns.
Looking ahead
After Sunday’s primetime battle, the AFC North will likely see a few more weeks of intense competition as the regular season winds down. Both Cincinnati and Pittsburgh will need to stay healthy and execute their game plans to secure the division crown and a coveted playoff berth.
