News

  • Scores receiving TD as starter

    Bernard rushed 13 times for 37 yards and caught all five of his targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Bernard operated as the lead back with Joe Mixon (foot) unavailable, but coach Zac Taylor's decision to call back-to-back quarterback sneaks from in close on Cincinnati's first scoring drive demonstrated the team's lack of faith in Bernard's inside running ability. The shifty veteran's known primarily for his pass catching out of the backfield, and that skill was on full display in this one, as Bernard caught a three-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Samaje Perine mixed in for just one…read more

  • In line to start Week 7

    Bernard is in line for added work Sunday against the Browns with the Bengals having ruled top back Joe Mixon (foot) out for the contest, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per Ben Baby of ESPN.com, Bernard is the leading candidate to headline the team's Week 7 backfield in Mixon's absence. Beyond Bernard, Samaje Perine should factor into the mix in short-yardage scenarios or obvious running downs, while Baby adds that 2019 sixth-round pick Trayveon Williams should be active for the first time this season as the Bengals' No. 3 back.

  • Totals 28 yards, score

    Bernard rushed eight times for 15 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Bernard was ineffective on the ground against a tough Colts' front seven, but he enjoyed his highest snap share of the season (48 percent) after starter Joe Mixon exited early with a foot injury. Mixon will undergo further testing to see the extent of his injury, but coach Zac Taylor relayed Monday that he didn't believe it would be too serious. Taylor explained that Mixon was sidelined because Bernard was a better fit for the team's two-minute offense, according to Ben Baby of ESPN.com. We…read more

  • Clear for Week 6

    Bernard (groin) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest at Indianapolis, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bernard received 15 targets in the first three games of the season, but in the last two he's fallen off to two combined looks. He also has just four carries on the campaign, as Joe Mixon has become the workhorse running back in the Bengals offense. Expect much of the same for Bernard with Mixon running on all cylinders.

  • Lands on injury report

    Bernard was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bernard is making his first appearance of the season on the Bengals' injury report, but his ability to practice ins some fashion suggests his groin issue isn't a major concern. More worrisome for Bernard is is minimal role over the past two weeks, as he's rushed twice for 19 yards and added one four-yard reception on two targets with starter Joe Mixon becoming more of a workhorse.

  • Very limited use

    Bernard had one catch for four yards on two targets with zero carries in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: It was especially noteworthy that when the Bengals went with the hurry-up offense late in the game, Joe Mixon stayed in rather than the Bengals going to Bernard. As a result, Mixon had six catches on eight targets while Bernard stayed on the sideline.

  • Takes backseat to Mixon

    Bernard had two carries for 19 yards and zero targets in the passing game in the Bengals' win over Jacksonville on Sunday.

    Analysis: Bernard was only on the field for 13 offensive snaps (17 percent) on a day when Joe Mixon finally got untracked. What's noteworthy is that Mixon had six catches on six targets, which is where Bernard frequently is used. Then again, the Bengals led for most of the second half, lessening the need for Bernard to be on the field.

  • Second-leading receiver in tie

    Bernard corralled all three of his targets for a total of 55 receiving yards during Sunday's 23-23 tie against the Eagles.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old back went without a rush attempt, as Joe Mixon handled all 17 RB carries for Cincinnati while running to a 2.9 yard-per-attempt average. It appears that may be the trend going forward, as Bernard has been targeted 15 times through three games with only two rush attempts. Last year his usage was much more balanced, with Bernard garnering 53 rushes to 43 targets across his 16 appearances. Based on the way he's currently being deployed, Week 4 offers a promising matchup given that…read more

  • Hauls in five passes against Browns

    Bernard registered a three-yard gain on his lone rush attempt, also corralling five of his seven targets for 22 receiving yards during Thursday's 35-30 loss to Cleveland.

    Analysis: PPR scoring has been favorable for Bernard's fantasy value given his nine catches through two weeks, but the 28-year-old back stands at just 53 scrimmage yards in the early going of 2020. That yardage total is perhaps not surprising given how much of a workhorse Joe Mixon is, totaling 19.6 offensive touches per game last year and a near-equivalent 20 touches per game so far this season. Bernard is expected to continue getting multiple looks from Joe Burrow each week coming out of the backfield,…read more

  • Totals 38 yards in Week 1

    Bernard rushed once for seven yards and caught four of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: The Bengals couldn't get much rolling on the ground Sunday, as the newly paid Joe Mixon averaged just 3.6 YPC on 19 carries. However, Bernard contributed as a pass catcher and came close to scoring on the Bengals' final drive. It's clear Mixon is the bell cow, but Bernard played 29 percent of the offensive snaps, so he still has a role in his eighth NFL season.

  • Looking good for backup job

    Bernard is one of five running backs remaining on the roster after the Bengals waived Rodney Anderson (knee) on Monday, James Rapien of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Earlier in the offseason, there was some thought the Bengals might end up cutting Bernard to save cap space, but part of that scenario involved either Anderson or Trayveon Williams proving to be a reliable backup to Joe Mixon. It's possible for Williams to make such an impression in the coming weeks, but we haven't seen any suggestion that Bernard is in danger of being released. The 28-year-old signed a two-year extension last September, and while he's coming off the least productive season of…read more

  • Potential cap casualty?

    The Bengals can save $2.8 million in cap space if they release Bernard this offseason, Joe Goodberry of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Bengals gave Bernard a two-year extension in September, but the deal doesn't seem to include any guarantees beyond the initial signing bonus. It's a reasonable contract for a solid backup, except for the fact that Bernard doesn't play special teams and didn't get many touches in 2019 (3.3 carries, 2.7 targets per game). With Joe Mixon capable of handling a three-down workload and presumably angling for a contract extension of his own, the Bengals could opt for the discount route at their…read more

  • Closes season on a whimper

    Bernard finished the season with a three-carry, four-yard performance in the Bengals' Week 17 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Bernard saw just 18 offensive snaps, his second fewest of the season. He finished the campaign with 170 rushing yards to go along with 30 catches for 234 receiving yards, failing to reach the end zone in any of his 16 outings. His future with the Bengals would be in question but for a two-year contract extension he signed back in September.

  • Output defies snap share

    Bernard had only two carries for three yards and two catches for 12 yards in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins despite getting 51 snaps on offense, good for a 57 percent share.

    Analysis: Joe Mixon came into the game dealing with the stomach flu, opening up the possibility that Bernard might get a little more work. While he was on the field more often, the Bengals still didn't turn to Bernard in any significant way. He heads into the season finale against Cleveland with exactly 400 scrimmage yards and zero touchdowns on the year, having not topping 46 yards in a game since Week 1.

  • Modest output in Week 15

    Bernard had five carries for 27 yards and caught both his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: With Joe Mixon playing so well, the opportunities for Bernard to contribute have been few and far between. He still has not scored on the season, nor has he topped 31 rushing or 63 combined yards in any game this year.

  • Posts 40 percent snap share

    Bernard had four carries for 15 yards and caught two of three targets for 31 yards in Sunday's loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Joe Mixon once again got the lion's share of work at running back, but Bernard was on the field for 30 offensive snaps, good for 40 percent. This is about the peak expectation for him, absent a Mixon injury.

  • Minimal involvement in win

    Bernard rushed once for four yards and caught one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's win over the Jets.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old played a season-low 13 offensive snaps as Joe Mixon dominated the backfield work with 19 carries and four receptions. Bernard now has played only 34 plays on offense over the last two games. Andy Dalton reclaimed the starting job at quarterback and led the Bengals to their first win of the year, but the status quo for the veteran running back remains unchanged.

  • Three catches Sunday

    Bernard had three catches for 31 yards but just one carry that lost a yard during Sunday's loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Bernard was on the field for only 21 snaps, his second lowest of the season and third lowest as a percentage of the team's offensive snaps. With Andy Dalton returning for the final five games, there's a smidgen of hope that he'll be more productive, but it's a far cry from his top seasons, even with that hope.

  • Efficient game

    Bernard had three carries for 30 yards and a catch for 16 yards on three targets in Sunday's loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: After leaving Week 10 with a knee injury, Bernard was back at full speed this week, playing 33 offensive snaps.

  • Not on injury report

    Bernard (knee) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Bernard sprained his knee during Sunday's 49-13 loss to the Ravens, with the injury causing him to leave the field for a spell before he ultimately re-entered the game. The 27-year-old's absence from the injury report suggests he's moved past the issue, so expect Bernard to play his usual complementary role behind Joe Mixon in Week 11 against Oakland.

  • Suffers sprained knee

    Bernard suffered a knee sprain during Sunday's 49-13 loss to the Ravens, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The report also notes that the running back -- who exited Sunday's game for a spell before re-entering the contest -- isn't expected to miss significant time. At a minimum, however, it appears as though Bernard's practice participation leading up to this coming weekend's contest against the Raiders will be impacted.

  • Returns to Sunday's game

    Bernard returned to Sunday's game against the Ravens after being forced out of the contest with a knee injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Initially, it appeared as though the Bengals were prepared to rule the running back out of the contest, but Bernard was able to return to the field and will now continue to work in backup/complementary role behind Joe Mixon.

    Bernard was forced out of Sunday's game against the Ravens after suffering a right knee injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
