Oct 15, 2025
Good to go for Thursday
Fairchild (knee) does not have an injury designation for Thursday's matchup versus Pittsburgh, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fairchild missed this past Sunday's loss to Green Bay, but he didn't have any limitations in practice this week. He's thus ready to return to action against the Steelers, and Fairchild should start at left guard for the Bengals.

Considered full participant Monday
Fairchild (knee) was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated injury report.
ANALYSIS
Fairchild was forced to miss the team's 27-18 loss to the Packers on Sunday due to a knee issue, so his ability to be considered a full participant Monday is significant. The offensive lineman will have two more chances to officially log a full practice before Thursday's matchup with the Steelers.

Will not play Sunday
Fairchild (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against Green Bay.
ANALYSIS
Fairchild was limited in Friday's practice heading into the weekend but doesn't appear to be ready for Week 6 action. With the 22-year-old out, Dalton Risner is set to start in the rookie's place.

Starting left guard
Fairchild started the Bengals' preseason opener against the Eagles at left guard and held his own, albeit against their backups, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Nonetheless the Bengals are optimistic that Fairchild, the Bengals' third-round draft pick, will acclaim himself well in the role in the regular season and should begin the season as the starter.

Bengals add guard in Round 3
The Bengals selected Fairchild in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 81st overall.
ANALYSIS
Fairchild (6-foot-5, 318 pounds) is a big guard but lacks the reach to play at tackle. Even if he lacks positional versatility, though, Fairchild would appear to have a good shot to emerge as a viable starting guard in the NFL. More specifically, Fairchild should compete for the starting left guard role in Cincinnati after starting at left guard and thriving for Georgia the last two years. Even though he's a big guard, Fairchild proved athletic in his combine testing, logging above-average marks in the 40-yard dash (5.24 seconds) and broad jump (111 inches).
