Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert didn't suffer any structural damage in his neck Sunday, but his status remains uncertain for Week 12 against the Cleveland Browns, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Eifert, who leads the league in receiving touchdowns with 12, emerged as central component of the team's passing offense after missing the entire 2014 campaign due to a dislocated elbow.

Eifert downplayed the injury after the win over the St. Louis Rams, stating he's okay and was undergoing protocol with a stinger.
