Brian Asamoah: Gets look from Falcons
Asamoah (knee) tried out with Atlanta on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Asamoah hurt his knee during a game in November while with the Bengals last year and ended the campaign on IR. He appears to have since recovered and is seeking another NFL opportunity. The 2022 third-round draft pick has played mostly on special teams over his first four NFL seasons.

Bengals' Brian Asamoah: Shifts to IR
Asamoah (knee) was placed on the injured reserve list Monday.
The fourth-year pro from Oklahoma sustained a knee injury in the Bengals' Week 13 win over the Ravens, and it now appears serious enough to land him on IR. Asamoah has appeared in just four games for Cincinnati this season, failing to record a stat across 58 special-teams snaps. He'll now be forced to miss at least the team's next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in the Week 18 matchup against the Browns.

Bengals' Brian Asamoah: Won't return due to knee injury
Asamoah (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Ravens.
Asamoah injured his left knee during the first half of Thursday's game, and it is severe enough for the fourth-year linebacker to be sidelined for the rest of the contest. His absence won't impact the Bengals' defense, as he has played solely on special teams this season.

Bengals' Brian Asamoah: Signed from practice squad
The Bengals signed Asamoah from the practice squad to the active roster Monday.
Asamoah was elevated off the practice squad for one game with Cincinnati earlier this season, when he played 19 snaps on special teams in Week 9 versus Chicago. He figures to contribute in a similar capacity for the team down the stretch, beginning Sunday on the road against Pittsburgh.

Titans' Brian Asamoah: Claimed by Tennessee
The Titans claimed Asamoah from waivers Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Asamoah was let go by the Vikings on Tuesday, but he won't need to enter free agency to catch on with another team after the Titans were awarded the 2022 third-round pick off waivers. He mostly served in a special teams role for Minnesota in 2024 and finished the regular season with six tackles (four solo) and one forced fumble across 17 games. With the Titans waiving Otis Reese, Asamoah brings depth to Tennessee's linebacker corps, but special teams will be the latter's clearest path to earning a spot on the 53-man roster at the end of training camp in late August.

Vikings' Brian Asamoah: Gets limited time on defense
Asamoah had one total tackle and played on 13 of the defense's 67 snaps in Sunday's win over Houston.
Asamoah didn't play on defense the first two games but got some playing time with Ivan Pace sidelined with a quad injury. He mostly gets his playing time on special teams as a backup interior linebacker.

Vikings' Brian Asamoah: Ready to return
Asamoah (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Asamoah hasn't played since Week 7, but it appears the second-year pro will be ready to return to the field Monday against the Bears. His ability to suit up should bolster the Vikings' special-teams unit and depth at linebacker.

Vikings' Brian Asamoah: Missing third straight game
Asamoah (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Asamoah was a limited participant in all three practices leading up to Week 10 but will ultimately sit out for the third straight week. He'll look to make his return in Week 11 against the Broncos.

Vikings' Brian Asamoah: Missing another week
Asamoah (ankle) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons.
The second-year linebacker was able to log limited practice sessions throughout the week after missing the Vikings' Week 8 win over the Packers, but it now looks like his ankle issue will hold him out for another week. With Asamoah missing more time, Nick Vigil is expected to see an uptick in work in Minnesota's linebacker corps.
