Cappa (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against Cleveland.
Cappa was diagnosed with a concussion following Cincinnati's Week 15 win over Tennessee. He was able to log a full practice Friday, and he's done enough to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols and will start at right guard in Sunday's AFC North showdown.

Bengals' Alex Cappa: Enters protocols
Rotowire
Head coach Zac Taylor stated Monday that Cappa entered the league's concussion protocols, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Cappa feels good Monday, according to Taylor, but he'll still need to pass through the league's five-step protocols. If Cappa is unable to do so, Cordell Volson may be in line to start at right guard against the Browns on Sunday.

Bengals' Alex Cappa: Participating in OTAs
Rotowire
Cappa (ankle), who missed all of Cincinnati's 2022 playoff run, was spotted practicing during the team's OTAs, Ryan Meyer of the Bengals' official site reports.
It looks like Cappa had enough time to recover from his ankle injury during the offseason, as he's been back on the field for OTAs. The 2018 third-round pick has been a staple at guard since entering the NFL for the Buccaneers and Bengals, appearing in 68 games during that five year span. Barring any setbacks, expect the veteran guard to continue holding down the Bengals' offensive line this upcoming year.

Bengals' Alex Cappa: Deemed unavailable Sunday
Rotowire
Cappa (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs, per the team's official site.
Cappa has yet to return to the practice field in any capacity since he suffered an ankle injury back in Week 18 versus the Ravens, and he'll ultimately remain sidelined this weekend as a result. Look for Max Scharping to draw another start at right guard against Kansas City.

Bengals' Alex Cappa: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Cappa (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Andrew Gillis of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Cappa hasn't played in either of the Bengals' first two playoff games due to an ankle injury he suffered Week 18. He's not yet trending in the right direction as Sunday's AFC Championship Game against Kansas City approaches, but he'll have two more chances to practice before the Bengals need to make a decision on his status for the game. If Cappa is sidelined again, Max Scharping will likely serve as Cincinnati's starting right guard.
