Kirkpatrick has reportedly broken his right hand, Geoff Hobson of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The break doesn't appear to be too serious. All reports are that Kirkpatrick will be back within two weeks and a full go by training camp. In the meantime, both Josh Shaw and Darqueze Dennard are expected to take over for Kirkpatrick during his absence.

Kirkpatrick re-signed with the Bengals on Thursday, Jim Owczarski of Cincinnati.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick started 14 games for the Bengals in 2016, recording 10 passes defensed, including 3 interceptions, and 46 tackles in 15 games played. He'll likely claim one of the Bengals' starting corner positions again in 2017.

Kirkpatrick (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick is expected to play in Week 12, so it is likely that he will practice in some manner either Thursday or Friday. If Kirkpatrick is unable to play Sunday, expect Chris Lewis-Harris to see a starter's share of snaps at cornerback.

Kirkpatrick (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
After not practicing for all of last week and being listed as inactive for last Thursday's game against the Dolphins, it looks like Kirkpatrick is ready to make a return to the field after a full practice Wednesday. Cornerback Chris Lewis-Harris will return to a backup role should Kirkpatrick be active this weekend.

Kirkpatrick (hamstring) has been listed as inactive for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick didn't practice at all this past week, making his listing of inactive unsurprising. Look for Chris Lewis-Harris to see extra snaps in Kirkpatrick's absence.

Kirkpatrick (hamstring) is considered doubtful for Thursday's game against the Dolphins, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick's likeliness to play Thursday isn't very optimistic at this point after having missed practice throughout the week. If he's unable to play, Chris Lewis-Harris is slated to fill in at starting cornerback.
