Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is currently experiencing soreness from a high ankle sprain sustained during the team's Week 17 victory over the Denver Broncos. Despite this setback, he has shown improvement throughout the week, and there remains a possibility that he could play against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night. NFL insider Ian Rapoport noted that while Brown is still quite sore, he has a chance to suit up for the game.

Chase Brown has been instrumental in the Bengals' recent success, contributing to a four-game winning streak with impressive statistics that include 313 rushing yards, 123 receiving yards, and three touchdowns. If Brown is unable to take the field, Khalil Herbert is expected to step in as the starting running back, with Trayveon Williams and Kendall Milton serving as backup options.
