Dre Kirkpatrick

The Bengals placed cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (shoulder) on season-ending injured reserve Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Kirkpatrick sustained an injury to his right shoulder in last Sunday’s loss to the Browns. The details of the injury have not been disclosed. Kirkpatrick battled several injuries throughout the year and finishes with 41 tackles and nine passes defensed in 13 games. The Bengals also placed receiver Tyler Boyd (knee) and linebacker Jordan Evans (ankle) on IR, giving them 18 on the list entering the final week of the season. Running back Quinton Flowers, offensive tackle Kent Perkins, and wide receiver Hunter Sharp were promoted from the practice squad to take their place.

Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick was a non-participant in Wednesday’s practice due to an ankle injury. His status for Sunday’s game against the Chargers is unknown.

Fantasy Impact

Kirkpatrick left last week’s game with the ankle injury but was able to return in the second half. While he was able to play through the issue, he was later seen leaving the stadium in a walking boot. Thursday and Friday’s practice reports will provide a clearer indication of his Week 14 status.

Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (shoulder) was downgraded to doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Browns.

Fantasy Impact

Kirkpatrick was originally listed as questionable Friday so the change is a clear indication that he won’t play in this one. He was unable to practice all week after injuring his shoulder in last Sunday’s loss to the Ravens. With Kirkpatrick sidelined, Darquez Dennard is in line for additional snaps.
