Kirkpatrick (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick played through an ankle injury during a Week 13 loss to the Broncos, and left the stadium wearing a walking boot. The seventh-year veteran's status for Sunday's tilt against the Raiders is murky at best. If Kirkpatrick were to miss any time, Darqueze Dennard would slot into the starting lineup.

Kirkpatrick injured his left foot in Sunday's loss to Denver, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick left Sunday's game early due to injury and then returned in the second half. Despite playing through the issue, he left the stadium in a walking boot. It's unclear what the specifics of his injury are and he should be considered questionable for the team's Week 14 matchup with the Chargers for the time being.

Kirkpatrick (shoulder) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Denver, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick was inactive for last week's loss to the Browns but was able to put in a full practice Friday to avoid the questionable tag. The 29-year-old should return to starting duties at cornerback, pushing Darqueze Dennard back into the nickelback role.

Kirkpatrick (shoulder) is inactive Sunday against Cleveland, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick failed to take the practice field this week and entered the divisional matchup with a "doubtful" tag. Look for Darqueze Dennard to see a large uptick in snap count as the likely starter in Kirkpatrick's stead.

Kirkpatrick (shoulder) carries the doubtful tag for Sunday's matchup with the Browns, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick was originally considered questionable for Week 12 but the injury is seemingly serious enough to cast his status into serious doubt. If Kirkpatrick can't play, Darquez Dennard would likely start in his place with either Tony McRae or Darius Phillips playing primarily in the slot.

Kirkpatrick (concussion) was a non-participant in practice Friday and is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick remains in concussion protocol due to the injury he sustained in Week 10. As evidenced by this news, Kirkpatrick's status for Sunday is in some jeopardy. If the 2012 first-round pick can't go Sunday, Darquez Dennard could see an increase in snaps.

Kirkpatrick (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick continues to manage a concussion sustained Week 10. The veteran cornerback will need to clear the league-mandated concussion protocol before retaking the field, and his status for Sunday's tilt against the Browns is murky at best. If Kirkpatrick is unable to go Week 12, Darquez Dennard should once again slot into the starting lineup.

Kirkpatrick (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick sustained the concussion last Sunday against the Saints and was unable to clear the concussion protocol to this point. Darquez Dennard (collarbone) is now healthy and would likely step in at cornerback should Kirkpatrick not fully clear the protocol in time.

Kirkpatrick (concussion) was able to practice on a limited basis Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The first-round pick was knocked out of the game in Week 10 due to a concussion and didn't return. Though he was able to practice on a limited basis Thursday, there is no evidence that Kirkpatrick has cleared the concussion protocol. If Kirkpatrick is unable to suit up Sunday against the Ravens, Darqueze Dennard (collarbone) and Darius Phillips could see more snaps.

Kirkpatrick won't return to Sunday's game against the Saints after suffering a concussion, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick missed two games late last season due to a concussion, and will now re-enter the league's concussion protocol. Darius Phillips should see a heavily increased role with Darqueze Dennard (collarbone) inactive Sunday.
