After four years in Cincinnati, Bailey will get a fresh start in Arizona.

Bengals' Markus Bailey: Pressed into defensive duty
Bailey played 20 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Falcons, recording four tackles.
Bailey is primarily a special teams player, having played just six defensive snaps all season prior to Week 7. The 2020 seventh-rounder saw more reps on defense last year when Logan Wilson was out, and Wilson's injury this year is the proximate cause for his return this year.
