Turner (ankle) is considered day-to-day, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reported Monday.
Turner exited the fourth quarter of the Bengals' overtime win over the Titans on Sunday and did not return. The cornerback has strung together a remarkable season thus far, most recently recording two forced fumbles in Sunday's game. If Turner can recover quickly, he will have a shot to suit up for the Bengals' showdown with the Falcons in Madrid, Spain, during Week 9.
Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Johnson injured his ankle in the fourth quarter and will not return. Shemar Stewart should see more rotational snaps at defensive end for the rest of Sunday's contest.
Injured reserve and long term 8
Howell (wrist) was placed on injured reserve by the Bengals on Tuesday.
Howell suffered a right wrist injury during Sunday's overtime win against the Titans, and he will now be forced to miss at least four contests as a result. The defensive lineman has already undergone surgery, per Mike Petraglia of CLNSCincy.com, and in Howell's absence, Shemar Stewart will stand to see an increase in workload at defensive end.
Iosivas (thumb) is making good progress in his rehab, Mike Petraglia of CLNSCincy.com reports.
Iosivas has been on injured reserve since Sept. 26 while recovering from a torn ligament in his left thumb that required surgery. The wide receiver is reportedly on track to be available to play in Week 10 against the Steelers, and he has an outside chance of returning one week prior against the Falcons in Spain on Nov. 8, per Petraglia.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor confirmed Wednesday that All has been diagnosed with a torn ACL in his right knee and will require season-ending surgery, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
All, who sustained the injury in Sunday's win over the Ravens, has now torn the ACL in his right knee three times during his career. He first tore the ACL during his final collegiate season at Iowa in 2023, then had his 2024 rookie campaign with the Bengals cut short after damaging the ligament again. Given the timing of the injury along with the fact that he'll be working his way back from a third surgery of the same knee, All is far from guaranteed to be ready to play when the 2027 season gets underway.
Hudson (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve by the Bengals on Monday.
Hudson suffered a torn pectoral muscle during the team's 31-24 win over Miami in Week 5, so his transition to IR comes as no surprise. In his absence, Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and Erick All will continue to operate as the team's primary options at tight end.
The Bengals placed Bozeman on injured reserve Monday due to a fractured forearm, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
The third-year linebacker out of Southern Miss sustained the injury during Sunday's 31-24 win over the Dolphins, and he'll now be sidelined for at least four weeks after landing on IR. Bozeman had suited up in four of the Bengals' first five contests of the season, seeing most of his action on special teams while tallying four tackles.
The Bengals placed Davis (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Davis injured his hamstring during the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Steelers in Week 3. The injury is severe enough for the Utah State product to spend time on IR, which means he'll be sidelined for at least the next four games and is eligible to return for Week 9 against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 8. Ja'Sir Taylor (undisclosed) is also on injured reserve, so Dax Hill and Tacario Davis are both in line for more snaps in the Bengals' secondary.

The Bengals placed Taylor (undisclosed) on injured reserve Sunday with a designation to return, Geoff Hobson of the team's official site reports.
Taylor signed a one-year contract with the Bengals in early April. The cornerback is set to play a key reserve role in the team's secondary once he can return to the field. Taylor will need to miss at least the first four games of the regular season on IR before becoming eligible to return to the Bengals' active roster.

Carter recorded nine tackles (three solo) and a pass defense during Sunday's 35-13 win over the Ravens.
Carter didn't play every defensive snap for just the first time this season, but his nine stops were tied with Bryan Cook for most on the Bengals. Carter has logged at least five stops in each of the first six games of the regular season and is up to 50 tackles (22 solo), including 1.5 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble in 2026.
Mafe finished Sunday's 35-13 win over the Ravens with five tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks.
Mafe got to Tyler Huntley for a six-yard sack midway through the first quarter before splitting another sack with Bryan Cook in the fourth. Mafe has logged at least 1.0 sacks in three consecutive games and is up to 4.5 sacks through six regular-season games, which already surpasses his total from 2025 with Seattle (2.0 sacks across 17 regular-season contests).
Cook recorded nine tackles (six solo), including 0.5 sacks, during the Bengals' 35-13 win over the Ravens on Sunday.
Cook and Boye Mafe combined for a split sack on Tyler Huntley midway through the fourth quarter, which was Cook's first sack since his rookie year in 2022. The fifth-year safety is up to 26 tackles (18 solo), including 0.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through five regular-season games.
Knight totaled eight tackles (two solo) and an interception during the Bengals' win over the Ravens on Sunday.
Knight finished third on the team in tackles behind Bryan Cook and Barrett Carter during the victory, in addition to snagging his first interception of the campaign. The 26-year-old continues to have a productive season, as he's now recorded seven or more tackles in five of his six appearances, bringing his total on the campaign to 50 (21 solo).
