JOE BACHIE NEWS

Set for return Week 13 Bachie (hip) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

Impact Bachie missed Cincinnati's Week 11 loss to the Chargers due to a hip issue, but the team's Week 12 bye gave him the time to recover enough to return to the field. The veteran linebacker's presence would typically primarily impact the special-teams unit, as Bachie has logged just 18 defensive snaps over 10 games this season. However, he could be asked to step into a more significant role Sunday if Logan Wilson, who is questionable due to knee injury, is unable to suit up.

Won't suit up in Week 11 Bachie (hip) was downgraded to out for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, safd reports.

Impact Bachie was initially deemed doubtful heading into the weekend, but he has since been ruled out for Sunday's contest. He's played a rotational role on defense throughout the campaign, topping out at seven defense snaps in Week 9. As such, Bachie's absence Sunday will primarily impact the Bengals' special-teams unit.

Doubtful for Sunday Bachie (hip) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bachie appears to have sustained a hip injury in Cincinnati's Week 10 loss to the Ravens, and he's likely a longshot to play Sunday after logging three consecutive DNPs during the Bengals' week of practice. Undrafted rookie Maema Njongmeta could see increased work on Cincinnati's defense as a rotational linebacker if Bachie is sidelined in Week 11 as expected.

Placed on PUP list Bachie (knee) was added to the active/PUP list by the Bengals on Saturday.

Impact Bachie is eligible to return from this list and practice at any point before the regular season, but he is first required to pass a physical with Cincinnati's medical staff.

Bachie recorded 30 tackles over nine games while almost perfectly splitting his snaps played between defense (156) and special teams (147) in 2021.
