  • Bengals' Demetrius Knight: Notches 12 takedowns in victory

    Knight recorded 12 total tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 20-6 win over Houston.

  • Bengals' Demetrius Knight: Scores touchdown in win

    Knight totaled seven tackles (five solo) and returned a fumble for a touchdown during the Bengals' win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.

    Knight got off to a strong start this season, as he managed to score his first career touchdown while finishing tied for fourth on the team in tackles. The 2025 second-round pick recorded 106 tackles (58 solo), including 3.0 sacks, across 17 games and will look to keep producing next week against the Texans.

  • Bengals' Demetrius Knight: Exceeds 100 tackles as rookie

    Knight had 106 tackles (58 solo), including 3.0 sacks, as well as two interceptions among his seven passes defensed while playing in all 17 games in 2025.

    Knight was one of the few bright spots in a tough season for Cincinnati's defense. The 2025 second-round draft pick appeared in every game of his rookie regular season and started 14 while showcasing a promising mix of run-stopping and coverage ability. He'll likely reprise his role as the starting weak-side linebacker in 2026, as the Bengals have plenty of other holes to fill on defense.

    Knight notched five tackles (one solo) in a 37-14 victory against the Bengals on Sunday.

    Knight's five stops were good for third most on Cincinnati. The rookie linebacker has been quite consistent of late with between four and six tackles in each of his past five contests. With his tackle tally Sunday, Knight surpassed the triple-digit mark for the campaign, as he's up to 103 stops (including 2.0 sacks) along with six defensed passes (including two interceptions) over 16 games.

Knight has posted 98 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, along with six defensed passes (including two interceptions) through 15 games on the campaign.

  • Bengals' Demetrius Knight: Notches first two career sacks

    Knight had 2.0 sacks and notched six tackles in total against the Ravens on Sunday.

    It's been a tumultuous rookie season for Knight, but he provided a few highlights on what was otherwise a dreadful day for the Bengals. He's now up to 96 tackles on the season and will have his hands full next week against De'Von Achane and the Dolphins.

  • Bengals' Demetrius Knight: Key pick in win

    Knight recorded five tackles (three solo) with one interception and one pass defensed in Thursday's 32-14 win over the Ravens.

    Knight has seen his role fluctuate in the Cincinnati defense, logging between a 57 and 85 percent snap rate in his last three games. While that has led to modest tackle totals -- he's tallied 15 total tackles across the three contests -- he logged a key interception early in the fourth quarter in Thursday's win.
