Giovani Bernard (knee) practicing Thursday for Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) is practicing Thursday.

What It Means:

Bernard was limited Wednesday and could be again on Thursday, but he should be fine to play against the Carolina Panthers in Week 3. Joe Mixon (knee) is sidelined, so Bernard will work as the Bengals' lead back, followed by fourth-rounder Mark Walton.

Bernard is the RB20 in numberFire's Week 3 fantasy rankings. Our models expect him to score 10.8 FanDuel points at a cost of $6,400.
