Bengals provide bad news on Chase Brown injury

Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Chase Brown won’t be able to go in Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers because of a new hamstring injury.

On the same day coaches suggested Brown and others could be in line for more work behind Joe Mixon coming out of the bye, the rookie fifth-rounder pulled his hamstring in practice.

The next day, Brown was just one of two Bengals listed as out against the 49ers.

According to The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr., Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that Brown had looked great in practice this week before the mishap.

Brown had appeared in five games before the injury, carrying the ball just twice and catching all three of his targets for seven yards.

While the Bengals could turn to Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans behind Mixon, it also raises the question of whether this might encourage the team to make a move before the upcoming trade deadline, too, given how cheap it usually is to acquire productive rotational runners.
