Bynum recorded five tackles and one pass defensed in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Titans.
Many of the Colts' starters saw decreased snap rates due to the blowout nature of the game, and Bynum was no exception. He managed to tie for second on the team in tackles and reached five stops for only the third time this season. Bynum could be in for another strong performance in Week 9, in what could be a high-scoring matchup against the Steelers.

Rotowire
The Colts are in line to sign Bynum to a four-year, $60 million contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Vikings' Camryn Bynum: Picks off three passes in 2024
Rotowire
Bynum finished the 2024 season with 96 tackles (54 solo), 10 pass breakups, including three interceptions, and two fumble recoveries across 17 regular-season contests.
Bynum started all 17 games for the third straight season and set new career highs in pass breakups and interceptions while falling four tackles short of his second consecutive 100-tackle campaign. Known just as much for his well-choreographed celebrations following big plays, Bynum's strong numbers and week-to-week dependability on the back end of the defense should land him a big payday this spring, as he's set to become an unrestricted free agent.

Vikings' Camryn Bynum: Pops in sophomore season
Rotowire
Bynum registered a career-high 81 tackles (49 solo) and added six pass breakups, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2022.
Bynum doubled his production in pass breakups while nearly tripling his number of tackles from his rookie campaign with Minnesota. The 2021 fourth-round pick saw the majority of his playing time on special teams in the previous season, but he opened the 2022 campaign in an every-down role alongside veteran strong safety Harrison Smith. The 24-year-old Bynum maintained this role throughout the entirety of the campaign after rookie first-round pick Lewis Cine went down with a season-ending fractured leg Week 4. If Cine is back to full health in 2023, Bynum could end up ceding more work in the Minnesota secondary.

Vikings' Camryn Bynum: Registers game-high nine stops
Rotowire
Bynum recorded nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Packers.
Bynum was the only player on Minnesota's defense who never left the field in last weekend's matchup versus Green Bay, and he also set a new season high with nine tackles in the contest. He's more than likely to continue serving as an every-down safety in Week 18 against Chicago.

Vikings' Camryn Bynum: Starts at free safety
Rotowire
Bynum started at free safety and had seven total tackles in Sunday's win over Green Bay.
Bynum played on all 61 of the defense's snaps with first-round draft pick Lewis Cine missing Sunday's game with a knee injury. Cine was a strong candidate to win the starting free safety job, but he may now be eased into action. Bynum may play the bulk of snaps in the near term as a result.

Vikings' Camryn Bynum: Has sack in another start
Rotowire
Bynum started at safety opposite Xavier Woods and had six total tackles, a sack and a pass defensed in Sunday's win at the Chargers.
Bynum drew a second consecutive start with Harrison Smith on the COVID-19 list. He's played so well in his first two starts (and first two games with significant playing time on defense) that he should continue to have a larger reserve role when Smith returns.

Vikings' Camryn Bynum: Gets start at safety
Rotowire
Bynum will start at safety in place of Harrison Smith, who will not play after being placed on the COVID-19 list, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Bynum has played just nine snaps on defense as he's mostly been used on special teams (127 snaps). Still, he could get plenty of work in a secondary that may struggle without Smith and cornerback Patrick Peterson.
