Sample (ankle) was placed on injured reserve by the Bengals on Saturday, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sample suffered a high-ankle sprain Nov. 11 in a matchup with the Ravens. The severity of the injury will keep him out for the remainder of the year. Drafted in the second round, the rookie tight end will finish his season with five receptions for 30 yards in nine games.

Sample (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Browns, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Sample (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sample will miss his third straight game since suffering the right ankle injury Week 10 against the Ravens. Tyler Eifert and C.J. Uzomah are the team's only healthy tight ends since Cethan Carter (concussion) also has been ruled out.

Sample has a high-ankle sprain, and he's considered a candidate for IR, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sample will undergo additional testing to determine a timeline for his return, but the winless Bengals may opt to shut down their rookie second-rounder to avoid him unnecessarily aggravating the injury. The nature of the injury will keep him out at least through Week 11's matchup against the Raiders. Cethan Carter will work as the No. 3 tight end in Sample's place.

Sample wore a boot on his right foot after injuring his ankle during Sunday's loss to the Ravens, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sample didn't return after sustaining this injury Sunday, and his status is uncertain for Week 11's matchup against the Raiders. We'll know more when the Bengals release their first official injury report following Wednesday's practice. Sample has five catches for 30 yards this year, and Cethan Carter would bump into the No. 3 role if Sample's unable to play.

Sample was forced out of Sunday's game against the Ravens with an ankle injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sample hauled in a three-yard pass before exiting the contest. If he's unable to return, Cethan Carter could see an increase in duties behind Tyler Eifert and C.J. Uzomah.

Sample had two catches for 25 yards in Sunday's loss to the Niners.

EDGE Analysis

After virtually being absent from the offensive game plan Week 1, Sample saw some targets in garbage time this week. The 2019 second-round pick could spend a lot of time learning the ropes this year, with an eye on getting more asked of him in 2020.

Sample hauled in one pass on three targets for seven yards in the team's first preseason game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Sample managed to haul in his first pass in game action, on the receiving end of a seven-yard reception from Jeff Driskel. Unfortunately, he stood out more for mental mistakes, as he was penalized for a false start as well as offensive pass interference. Overall, the second-round pick failed to take advantage of his first chance to make a positive impression on his new team.
