CINCINNATI — Bengals left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (fibula) will play on Saturday against the Broncos.

Brown has been battling the injury for months, but will return for a must-win game against Denver. He hasn't played since December 1 against Pittsburgh.

"He looks great," Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said. "Excited to have him back."

Cody Ford will move back to left guard and start alongside Brown. Rookie Amarius Mims (ankle/hand) will also play, despite getting hurt in Week 16 against the Browns.

The Bengals need to win to keep their slim playoff chances alive.
