Tyler Boyd's status for Sunday is currently in question. He was listed as a limited participant while dealing with a foot/ankle injury on Tuesday.

The Bengals are yet to list him as questionable heading into their Saturday matchup vs. the Minnesota Vikings. Boyd is yet to miss a game this season, so it would be a surprise if he sits out this week.

There aren't any specific details on what happened to Tyler Boyd. The Bengals held a walkthrough practice to begin Week 15 and he was a limited participant.

Boyd was questionable leading up to the team's Week 14 game against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite the lingering injury, he suited up and played that game. He wasn't productive in the team's win and recorded just two catches for 23 yards on three total targets. The injury could have affected his play.

When will Tyler Boyd return?

As of right now, Tyler Boyd hasn't been ruled out for Saturday's game vs. the Minnesota Vikings. His situation is one to monitor as fans could have a better idea on whether or not he will play based on his participation in practice this week.

While nothing is official, signs are pointing towards Boyd suiting up for Saturday's game, barring any setbacks he faces this week. If he doesn't suit up this week, he would very likely play the following week.
