Zeitler is a key cog in the Bengals' run-blocking scheme, so his absence could be somewhat detrimental to the likes of Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard.

Zeitler (calf) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Titans and will probably be inactive, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
It might be more difficult for the Bengals to control the line of scrimmage as they have the first two games. So far they haven't allowed a sack and the running game was really strong in Week 2 - both might change against Tennessee without Zeitler.

Zeitler suffered a calf injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Falcons and is questionable to return.
This potentially is a pretty big injury for the Bengals' offensive line. Zeitler is one of the best run-blockers on the team, and the Bengals are already forced to run more due to injuries to A.J. Green, Marvin Jones and Tyler Eifert.

Bengals signed No. 27 overall pick RG Kevin Zeitler to a four-year contract.
Viewed by NFL Films guru Greg Cosell as a more athletic and more complete guard prospect than Steelers first-rounder David DeCastro, Zeitler immediately stepped into the starting lineup at right guard in OTAs. A mauling run blocker, Zeitler should represent an upgrade on the declining Bobby Williams.
