"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert is still in concussion protocol after suffering a head injury against the Steelers on Dec. 13 and will not play against the Denver Broncos on Monday, the team said on Saturday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bengals (11\u20133) have already clinched a spot in the playoffs and are not in desperate need of having one of their top passing targets on the field before the postseason starts.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rookie Tyler Kroft started in place of Eifert last week, catching three passes for 31 yards and a touchdown in a 24\u201314 win over the San Francisco 49ers.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eifert has career highs in receptions (48), yards (564) and touchdowns (12) this season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Dr. Bennet Omalu: Over 90% of NFL players have some degree of CTE\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bengals currently have the second-best record in the AFC, behind the New England Patriots (12\u20132). They are hoping to hold off the Broncos (10\u20134) for a first-round bye.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
