Kirkpatrick (shoulder) isn't expected to play in Cincinnati's preseason finale Aug. 29 against the Colts, though he should be ready for the regular-season opener in Seattle, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kirkpatrick has been dealing with a few different injuries throughout camp, and even though he hasn't taken the field in the preseason, head coach Zac Taylor is confident the cornerback will be ready to roll for Week 1. His status should become more clear within the next week or so.

Kirkpatrick, who ended the year on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury, recently appeared to be in the Bengals' facility receiving treatment for a foot injury, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kirkpatrick popped up on the injury report with Achilles and ankle issues at different points this season, and it's possible he could still be in recovery from either one of them. Fortunately, there haven't been any reports indicating that any of the cornerback's ailments could affect Kirkpatrick's availability for the start of the Bengals' offseason workout program this spring.

Kirkpatrick (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kirkpatrick suffered the right shoulder injury last week against the Browns, and wasn't going to be available for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, prompting the move to injured reserve. The specifics of the injury remain unclear as Darqueze Dennard is set to step into a starting role at cornerback opposite William Jackson III.

Kirkpatrick is out for the remainder of Sunday's game with a right shoulder injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Kirkpatrick (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's contest against the Raiders.

Kirkpatrick (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kirkpatrick suffered the ankle injury Week 13 against the Broncos and was unable to play against the Chargers last week, though he was able to return as a limited practice participant Thursday. The 29-year-old has dealt with a myriad of injuries this season but has missed only two games. Darqueze Dennard would likely draw the start at cornerback opposite William Jackson should Kirkpatrick remain sidelined Sunday.

Kirkpatrick (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kirkpatrick suffered an ankle injury during last week's loss to the Broncos, and will remain sidelined as he manages his recovery. As long as the seventh-year veteran is unable to suit up, expect Darqueze Dennard to draw the start at left cornerback.
