Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt: Officially placed on IR
Rotowire
Taylor-Britt was placed on the injured-reserve list Friday.
Taylor-Britt is expected to miss the remainder of the season after sustaining a foot injury in the Week 11 loss to the Steelers, so his move to IR comes as no surprise. The Nebraska product has played in eight games this season, recording 21 total tackles and five passes defensed. Marco Wilson will likely have an expanded role in Cincinnati's secondary while Taylor-Britt is sidelined.

Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt: Likely done for the year
Rotowire
Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Taylor-Britt (foot) is expected to require surgery for a Lisfranc injury suffered during the team's loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
Taylor-Britt was present at team facilities Monday in a walking boot and moving with the help of a knee scooter, per Morrison. Lisfranc procedures carry a multi-month recovery timeframe, so if it's confirmed that Taylor-Britt requires surgery it will effectively end his 2025 campaign, and potentially, his tenure with Cincinnati. The 2022 second-round pick is in the final year of his rookie deal, and after having opened the season as one of the Bengals' starting outside corners, inconsistent performance led to his opportunity share declining, including being a healthy scratch Week 7. That said, prior to suffering his foot injury, Taylor-Britt's involvement on defense had been trending up again.

Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt: Won't suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Taylor-Britt (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
As expected, Taylor-Britt won't play in Week 3 after not practicing Thursday or Friday. DJ Turner (hamstring) has been cleared to suit up, so Marco Wilson and DJ Ivey will be candidates for increased roles across from Turner. The Bengals' secondary will have its hands full trying to slow down All-Pro WR Justin Jefferson, but he'll be catching passes for the first time in regular-season action from Carson Wentz, who's starting in place of J.J. McCarthy (ankle).

Rotowire
Taylor-Britt (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
DJ Turner (hamstring) is also dealing with an injury, but coach Zac Taylor indicated Turner has a good chance to play Sunday. Marco Wilson and DJ Ivey will be pushed into elevated snaps on defense with Taylor-Britt unlikely to play.

Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt: Volatile in 2024
Rotowire
Taylor-Britt logged 77 total tackles and 16 passes defended, including three interceptions, over 17 games in 2024.
Taylor-Britt struggled in coverage throughout the year for Cincinnati, surrendering career highs in yards (734), completion percentage (64.8) and touchdowns (six). However, the third-year pro still showed flashes of brilliance at times this season, nabbing three interceptions, including one pick-six, and the first share of a sack of his career. Taylor-Britt is now entering the final season of his rookie deal and is expected to remain one of the Bengals' top outside cornerbacks, making 2025 a pivotal season for him to bounce back in coverage and position himself for a lucrative contract extension.

Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt: Working through ankle injury
Rotowire
Taylor-Britt (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's regular-season finale against the Steelers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Taylor-Britt popped up on Thursday's injury report due to an ankle injury, which appears severe enough for him to be in jeopardy of missing Saturday's AFC North clash. Marco Wilson and DJ Ivey would be the top candidates to start at outside corner alongside Josh Newton if Taylor-Britt is unable to play in Week 18.

Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt: Leads team in tackles Saturday
Rotowire
Taylor-Britt recorded eight tackles (seven solo) during Saturday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Broncos.
Taylor-Britt was on the field for all 60 of Cincinnati's defensive snaps in Week 17, and he collected six-plus tackles for the third time in his last five games. He could see a good number of tackling opportunities again in Week 18 against a run-heavy Pittsburgh team.

Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt: Pick-six vs. Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Taylor-Britt registered seven tackles (four solo) and returned an interception 51 yards for a touchdown in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers.
Taylor-Britt took advantage of George Pickens falling down on a slant route early in the first quarter, as the former picked off Russell Wilson and took it all the way to the house for a 51-yard pick-six. It was one of the few highlights for a Bengals defense that allowed the Steelers to score on seven drives (four touchdowns, three field goals). Through 12 regular-season games, Taylor-Britt has logged 57 tackles (40 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and 12 pass defenses (including two interceptions).

Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt: Posts season-high tackle total
Rotowire
Taylor-Britt recorded nine tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 37-17 loss versus the Eagles.
Taylor-Britt's tackle total is fine for the box score, but it's also a reflection of Cincinnati's overall struggles in the secondary in a runaway loss. He'll at least be on the very edge of IDP relevance as long as he continues to be on the field for virtually every defensive snap for the Bengals.

Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt: Snags four INTs in 2023
Rotowire
Taylor-Britt recorded 50 tackles (40 solo), 11 pass breakups, four interceptions (one pick-six) and one forced fumble across 12 regular-season appearances with the Bengals in 2023.
Taylor-Britt logged a five-game stint on IR due to a quad injury, but when healthy he played close to an every-down role in Cincinnati's secondary. While Taylor-Britt hasn't proven to be the most reliable option in coverage, he did take a step forward as a playmaker after having finished his 10-game rookie season without a single takeaway. Now heading into the third year of his rookie deal, Taylor-Britt figures to remain a key factor in the Bengals' secondary.

Rotowire
Taylor-Britt (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Cardinals.

It's a step in the right direction for Taylor-Britt after he was knocked out of Sunday's game at Tennessee.
