Bengals QB Joe Flacco (shoulder) is questionable for Cincinnati’s Week 9 game against the Bears.

31 October 2025

Flacco has talked a good game the last few days, leading us to believe the Bengals’ quarterback is on the optimistic side of questionable. But the Bengals also signed Sean Clifford to their active roster, leaving us to believe there’s still some question on if Flacco will indeed be ready to go. If Flacco is declared out, starting duties would likely fall to Jake Browning again.
