The Cincinnati Bengals will not play during Week 6 of the NFL season, taking a bye week after their Week 5 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Head coach Zac Taylor noted that the timing of the bye is beneficial for the team, especially due to injury concerns. The Bengals next face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, October 25. In that matchup, they may benefit from the absence of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who is dealing with an injury.
