The 26-year-old didn't practice all week after sustaining a chest injury in the Week 16 win over the Dolphins, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday.

Rotowire
The Bengals waived Grandy on Tuesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Grandy could be a candidate to continue his development in Cincinnati as a member of the practice squad, should he go unclaimed on waivers.
