Ruled out with Achilles Uzomah has been ruled out for the remained of Thursday's contest with an Achilles injury.

Impact Uzomah was off to a very solid start Thursday before exiting, hauling in four catches for 42 yards and receiving quarterback Joe Burrow's first career passing touchdown. Achilles injuries are often serious, so there is potential that this will be a season ender for the veteran tight end. Drew Sample figures to take over starting duties in Uzomah's absence.

Suffers Achilles injury Thursday Uzomah has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Browns due to a right Achilles injury, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Uzomah was carted off the field in the fourth quarter and never appeared to have a real chance to return, so Cincinnati's decision to rule him out isn't necessarily an indication of the severity of his injury. However, Achilles' injuries are always worrying by nature. Uzomah logged four catches for 42 yards and a touchdown before leaving the field Thursday. If Uzomah is forced to miss time beyond Week 2, Drew Sample figures to take over starting tight end duties in his stead.

Garners five targets in Week 1 Uzomah caught four of five targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Uzomah recorded more than 45 yards in a game just twice last season, as he mostly played second fiddle to the Tyler Eifert. With Eifert in Jacksonville now, Uzomah is the clear No. 1 TE and played 72 percent of the offensive snaps Sunday -- a percentage he surpassed only in Week 17 last year. Still, Uzomah's at best the fourth-best target for rookie QB Jow Burrow behind A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd and Joe Mixon, so he's not a very dependable fantasy asset.
