Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert remains in concussion protocol and may miss Monday night's game against the Denver Broncos.

NFL Media's Rand Getlin reported Eifert will not play, but the Cincinnati Enquirer reported the Bengals have not ruled out the Pro Bowl tight end for the game at Denver.

Eifert missed last Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers due to the concussion. An Enquirer team source indicated Eifert may move out of protocol as soon as Thursday.

Eifert left in the first half of the Dec. 13 loss to Pittsburgh after taking a hit from Steelers safety Mike Mitchell, who was fined $23,152 for the play.

Eifert, 25, worked out on the side of practice on Wednesday. He has career highs in receptions (48), yards (564) and touchdowns (12) this season.
