120518_CINinjury_CMS

Heading into Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, both Melvin Gordon and Trevor Williams have been ruled out with knee injuries. Gordon is continuing his recovery from an MCL sprain sustained in the win over the Arizona Cardinals.

"We didn't feel like he was ready this week," Head Coach Anthony Lynn said of the running back. "He did some things and looks better, but we're going to keep him out. … I'm really encouraged with his rehab right now."

There are two Chargers who remain doubtful with their status being decided on gameday – Sean Culkin (back) and Brandon Mebane, who did not practice on Friday due to returning to Omaha, Nebraska, for family matters.

Throughout the season, the Bengals have been plagued by injuries, placing 14 players on Injured/Reserve. This week, elite wide receiver A.J. Green was added to that list with a toe injury. Listed as questionable is another wide receiver, Josh Malone (hamstring), who has been sidelined since Week 11.

In their absence, Cincinnati will lean on its young receiver Tyler Boyd, who currently leads the team with 938 receiving yards on 69 receptions.

Meanwhile, three of Cincy's starters have been ruled out for Sunday's matchup. Veteran LB Vontaze Burfict will be sitting out with a concussion, along with CB Dre Kirkpatrick (ankle) and T Cordy Glenn (back). Also out with a concussion is CB Tony McRae.
