Bengals fear C.J. Uzomah tore Achilles

The Cincinnati Bengals believe tight end C.J. Uzomah suffered a torn Achilles during a 35-30 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night, reports Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

What It Means:

Uzomah will likely miss the rest of the season if the Bengals are correct. He suffered the injury in the fourth quarter while fighting for a first down. Uzomah had 4 catches for 42 yards and a touchdown on 6 catches before exiting. 2019 second-rounder Drew Sample is expected to take over the starting tight end role moving forward. Sample finished with 7 catches on 9 targets for 45 yards in Week 2, with 6 of those targets coming after Uzomah exited. The Bengals will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3.

Uzomah scored the third-most FanDuel points (12.2) among all tight ends and receivers playing on Thursday night. The Eagles gave up 11.7 FanDuel points to tight ends in Week 1 and ranked 16th in passing defense, per numberFire's advanced metrics. Uzomah added 0.72 Receiving Net Expected Points per target, compared to 0.39 for Sample.
