Matt Lee - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Won't return for Week 17 Lee (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Impact Lee's 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, but the center is not quite ready to return to the field yet. The 24-year-old was able to log limited practice sessions throughout the week, but with the Bengals already eliminated from playoff contention, they are likely taking Lee's return slowly and safely. Ted Karras is set to once again start at center for Sunday's game.

Impact Lee landed on injured reserve Oct. 28 due to a knee injury. He's now eligible to practice and can be activated any time within a 21-day window, though with the Bengals eliminated from playoff contention, there is only 12 days left until their season ends. Lee had logged all of his snaps on special teams prior to getting hurt.

Moved to injured reserve The Bengals placed Lee (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Lee was inactive for Week 8 against the Jets after a knee injury prevented him from practicing Friday. After undergoing further tests, it's been determined that the injury is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve, which means he will be required to miss at least the next four games. The earliest Lee could return from IR is Week 14 against the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 7.
