Bengals' Vonn Bell: Loses starting spot in 2024
Bell recorded 55 total tackles, one forced fumble and two passes defended, including one interception, over 17 games in 2024.
Bell opened the season as Cincinnati's top strong safety, logging 48 total tackles and two passes defended, including one interception, over the team's first 11 games. However, he struggled in coverage, allowing a 108.8 passer rating when targeted, and the Bengals' defense allowed an average of 26.9 points per game through Week 11. As a result, he was benched in favor of Jordan Battle following the team's Week 12 bye. After Battle took over as the starter, Bell recorded just seven total tackles over 80 defensive snaps. The veteran safety is now set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason and will likely sign a one-year prove-it deal following his benching in 2024.

Bengals' Vonn Bell: Records interception in win
Bell recorded six tackles (three solo) and one interception in the Bengals' win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Bell picked off Andy Dalton late in the first quarter and returned the ball 32 yards to the Carolina 16-yard line, setting up the offense in the red zone for an eventual Chase Brown touchdown catch to put Cincinnati up 7-0. The ninth-year veteran safety has 29 tackles (12 solo) and the lone interception through four contests, and has played all 258 defensive snaps.

Bengals' Vonn Bell: Registers nine tackles Monday
Bell had nine tackles (four solo) in the Bengals' 38-33 loss to the Commanders on Monday.
Bell has played at least 57 defensive snaps in each of the first three games of the regular season, and his 23 tackles over that span is third-most on the Bengals behind Germaine Pratt and Logan Wilson (33 each). Bell will look to stay busy against Andy Dalton and the Panthers in Week 4.

Bengals' Vonn Bell: Draws questionable tag
Bell (back) did not practice Saturday, but he is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Washington, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Bell popped up on the Bengals' injury report Thursday with a back issue. While he's listed as questionable for Monday's game, the fact he ended the week with back-to-back DNPs doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up. Jordan Battle is listed as the No. 2 strong safety on the Bengals' depth chart. However, given Battle has played only one defensive snap over the first two games of the regular season, corner Mike Hilton could be tasked with sliding over to the strong safety spot alongside free safety Geno Stone for Monday's contest, if Bell doesn't end up playing.

Bengals' Vonn Bell: Doesn't practice Friday
Bell (back) did not participate in Friday's practice session, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Bell was limited Thursday, and his downgrade to a DNP on Friday is a step in the wrong direction in regards to his status for Monday's game against the Commanders. He'll have one more chance Saturday to practice in some capacity. Jordan Battle, Tycen Anderson and Mike Hilton would all be candidates to start at strong safety Monday if Bell is unable to suit up.
