Cam Taylor-Britt Injury News & Updates

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.

Taylor-Britt won't return to Sunday's game against Pittsburgh due to a foot injury.

Taylor-Britt was hurt late in the first half and was ruled out just after halftime. He'll finish the contest with four tackles (three solo). Josh Newton and/or DJ Ivey could be in line for more defensive snaps in Taylor-Britt's stead.

Taylor-Britt will be a healthy scratch for Thursday's game against the Steelers, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports. Josh Newton will start in his place, with Marco Wilson also getting reps.

Taylor-Britt has been in and out of the doghouse under multiple defensive coordinators the last two seasons, but this is the first time he's been a healthy inactive.

Taylor-Britt (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Broncos.

Taylor-Britt upgraded from limited practice Thursday and Friday to a full session Saturday, suggesting he's moved past his hamstring injury in time to face Denver on Monday. The Nebraska product has appeared in two games this season, recording four total tackles and two passes defended. Now healthy again, he's expected to serve as one of Cincinnati's top outside corners in Week 4.

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).

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.

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 0.5 sacks 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.

Taylor-Britt (ankle) is active for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

Taylor-Britt was tagged as questionable for Saturday's game after appearing on Thursday's injury report due to an ankle injury. The issue doesn't appear serious enough for the 2022 second-round pick to be sidelined for the Bengals' regular-season finale. Taylor-Britt and Josh Newton will serve as Cincinnati's two starting outside corners.

Taylor-Britt (ankle) is Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic for Saturday's regular-season finale against the Steelers.

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.

Taylor-Britt recorded eight tackles (seven solo) during Sunday'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.

Taylor-Britt recorded six tackles (six solo) and an interception during Sunday's 37-27 win at Tennessee.

Taylor Britt logged his third interception of the season Sunday on a pass intended for former teammate Tyler Boyd, and he returned it 28 yards to set up a go-ahead Bengals touchdown under the two-minute warning for the first half. He'll probably see a healthy dose of the red-hot Jerry Jeudy when Cincinnati hosts the Browns in Week 16.

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 Russel 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 defenensed (including two interceptions).

Taylor-Britt was targeted eight times against the Ravens in Week 10, giving up seven catches for 116 yards and three touchdowns, including Tylan Wallace's long touchdown that started as a five-yard out where Taylor-Britt missed the tackle, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Taylor-Britt's failures against the Ravens are emblematic of both his struggles this season, and the Bengals' overall shortcomings defensively. He was supposed to be their best corner, and instead he's backslid. At least some small portion of his struggles can be attributed to the Bengals poor pass rush, forcing him to maintain coverage longer, but by almost any metric he's also played worse on his own.

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.

Taylor-Britt tallied two tackles (one solo), two passes defended and one interception in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs.

Taylor-Britt made a spectacular one-handed interception at the end of the third quarter on a pass down the left sideline from Patrick Mahomes that was intended for Xavier Worthy. It was Taylor-Britt's first interception of the season and the fifth of his career. The 2022 second-round pick will look to make life hard for Jayden Daniels and the Commanders' receiving corps in Week 3.

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.

Taylor-Britt finished Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chiefs with two solo tackles and one pass defended.

Taylor-Britt was placed on IR on Dec. 4 after spraining his ankle in a practice leading up to the Bengals' Week 13 game against the Jaguars. He had his return window opened Dec. 27 and was able to return after a five-game absence. He's been a key contributor to Cincinnati's secondary this season and has a team-high four interceptions over 11 games this year.

The Bengals activated Taylor-Britt (ankle) from injured reserve Friday and he has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Taylor-Britt had missed Cincinnati's last four games with this ankle issue, but after a full practice session Friday, he's in line to return to the field Sunday. The second-year cornerback has started all 10 of the games he's appeared in for the Bengals this season, tallying 46 total tackles, 10 pass deflections and four interceptions. Expect Taylor-Britt to make an immediate impact in Cincinnati's secondary against a Chiefs offense that struggled to score in Week 16.

Taylor-Britt (ankle) had his 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday.

Taylor-Britt can join his teammates in practice, and if all goes well, he could play as soon as Sunday against Kansas City. In order to be eligible to play, the cornerback will first have to be officially added back to the active roster.

Head coach Zac Taylor is optimistic that Taylor-Britt (ankle) will miss the minimum of four weeks on injured reserve, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Taylor-Britt was placed on IR on Monday and will be eligible to return Week 17 against the Chiefs. In his continued absence, Mike Hilton, DJ Turner and Chidobe Awuzie will remain to see the bulks of the snaps at corner.

The Bengals placed Taylor-Britt (ankle) on their injured reserve list Monday.

Taylor-Britt had already been ruled out for Week 13 at Jacksonville, but now he'll be forced to miss Cincinnati's next three games after that one as well. His absence will force the Bengals to lean on Mike Hilton, DJ Turner and Chidobe Awuzie to carry the load at cornerback for the immediate future.

Taylor-Britt (quadriceps) will not play in Monday's game in Jacksonville, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Taylor-Britt will miss his second straight game due to an ankle injury sustained in Week 11. In his absence, DJ Turner and Mike HIlton are again candidates to see increased defensive snaps. The cornerback's next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 14 versus the Colts.

Taylor-Britt (quad) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

It's a big step in the right direction for Taylor-Britt, who did not practice at all last week before sitting out of Sunday's loss versus the Steelers. However, if he can't upgrade to full participation Friday or Saturday, he won't be a guarantee to suit up for Week 13.

Taylor-Britt (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The second-year cornerback out of Nebraska was held out of practice all week, and he's now in line to miss his second consecutive game Sunday. Taylor-Britt has been an integral part of Cincinnati's secondary this season, logging 46 total tackles, 10 pass deflections and four interceptions in just nine games. With Taylor-Britt missing more time, DJ Turner and Mike Hilton are expected to see an uptick in snaps on the Bengals' defense.

Taylor-Britt missed Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury.

Taylor-Britt is at risk of missing the upcoming game versus Pittsburgh because a quadriceps injury suffered during last week's loss to the Ravens. Mike Hilton should get the start Sunday if Taylor-Britt ends up being unable to play.

Taylor-Britt (quadriceps) is day-to-day due to an injury sustained during Thursday's loss to the Ravens, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Taylor-Britt will have 10 days to recover before Cincinnati's divisional match against the Steelers in Week 12, meaning there's reason to be optimistic he won't miss further time. The standout cornerback wasn't able to return to Thursday's loss after exiting with a quad injury, causing Mike Hilton to fill in for him.

Taylor-Britt sustained a quadriceps injury and will not return Thursday night against the Ravens, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

The cornerback recorded one tackle before exiting. Taylor-Britt has 46 tackles, nine passes defensed, four interceptions and a forced fumble in 2023. Mike Hilton should be in line to play in his absence.

Taylor-Britt recorded nine tackles (seven solo), two pass deflections and an interception during the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Taylor-Britt had another strong performance despite the loss, as his fourth quarter interception led to Cincinnati touchdown. The 24-year-old also led the team in tackles and logged his fourth interceptions of the season.

Taylor-Britt registered two tackles (one solo), a pass deflection and an interception in Cincinnati's 24-18 win versus the Bills on Sunday.

Taylor-Britt logged the only interception of the day for the Bengals during Sunday's win, and the 2022 second-round pick now has three interceptions in eight games played. The 24-year-old has managed to record an interception in three of the team's past four games and will look to continue producing against the Texans this week.

Taylor-Britt recorded seven solo tackles, while also intercepting a pass and deflecting three others in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks.

Taylor-Britt was able to jump in front of a Geno Smith pass intended for DK Metcalf in the fourth quarter. The cornerback also registered a season-high seven takedowns in the win. Taylor-Britt is now up to 28 tackles with six pass deflections, two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown, and a forced fumble over the first six games of 2023.

Taylor-Britt (concussion) is active Sunday against the Cardinals.

Taylor-Britt was able to close out the week with a full practice and ultimately gain clearance to suit up for a Week 5 matchup with Arizona. With Chidobe Awuzie (back) unable to play, DJ Turner will likely draw the start opposite of him at corner.

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

Taylor-Britt was able to manage a full practice Friday, but he still may need to take additional steps forward to clear the league's concussion protocol prior to Sunday. If he can't play, rookie second-rounder DJ Turner would be in line for additional boundary reps in Week 5.

Taylor-Britt (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

It's a step in the right direction for Taylor-Britt after he was knocked out of Sunday's game at Tennessee. He still needs to fully clear the league's concussion protocol before he's allowed to play again, but his presence on the practice field indicates he might have a chance to do so before Cincinnati's trip to Arizona in Week 5.

Taylor-Britt (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Titans.

Taylor-Britt left the game to be evaluated for a concussion, so he's presumably landed in protocols after being ruled out. He recorded six tackles (five solo) before suffering the injury. In his absence, Mike Hilton and DJ Turner are candidates for increased snaps.

Taylor-Britt exited Sunday's contest with a potential head injury.

Taylor-Britt is being evaluated for a potential concussion and he's considered questionable to return. The cornerback seems unlikely to be able to make it back.

Taylor-Britt (shoulder) has been ruled active for Saturday's game against the Patriots.

Taylor-Britt was forced out with a shoulder injury during Cincinnati's Week 15 win over the Buccaneers, and he started Week 16 prep with back-to-back limited practices. He was able to ramp back up to full participation in Thursday's sessions, so he should retain a starting role alongside Eli Apple and Mike Hilton on Saturday.

Taylor-Britt has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a left shoulder injury.

It's unclear when or how this injury occurred, but it will keep Taylor-Britt will out for the waning minutes of this contest. As a result, the Bengals will be down to just three available cornerbacks with Mike Hilton (knee) and Jalen Davis (thumb) both already inactive. Taylor-Britt will now have a slightly shorter time to recover before Saturday's Week 16 matchup against New England.

Taylor-Britt had eight tackles in Sunday's win over the Titans. He also forced a fumble on Derrick Henry's long reception, only to have the Titans' Treylon Burks recover it in the end zone.

Taylor-Britt has proven to be a sure tackler and is improving weekly in his coverage, with Chidobe Awuzie out for the season. It's noteworthy that he's the one getting all the snaps, rather than first-round teammate Dax Hill.

Taylor-Britt lead the Bengals in tackles in Sunday's win over the Steelers, logging 12 tackles.

It's not always a good sign when your corner leads the team in tackles, as it could either mean that he was getting successfully targeted frequently, or that the front seven was struggling against the run. Both of those factors were present, but Taylor-Britt was also very sure-handed when given a chance to make a tackle.

Taylor-Britt will be stepping into a starting role with Chidobe Awuzie now out for the season, after he suffered a torn ACL in Monday's loss to the Browns, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Taylor-Britt was the team's second round selection in the 2022 Draft, but he didn't make his debut until Week 7 against the falcons, as he started the season on IR due to an abdomen issue. He's played a significant role in the Bengals secondary since being activated to the 53-man roster, seeing 60 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 7, then 100 percent of the defensive snaps Monday against the Browns, with Eli Apple (hamstring) out, and recorded five tackles (four solo).

Taylor-Britt made his NFL debut Sunday against the Falcons, and recorded three tackles while playing 27 defensive snaps.

It's noteworthy that Taylor-Britt, the Bengals' second-round pick in the 2022 draft, played more snaps than veteran teammate Eli Apple. Taylor-Britt had missed the first six games of the season with an abdominal injury.

The Bengals activated Taylor-Britt from injured reserve Saturday.

Taylor-Britt was forced to miss the first four games of the campaign while on injured reserve due to an abdomen issue, but he's in line to make his NFL debut in Week 5. However, it's unclear what the rookie second-round pick's role will be in Cincinnati's secondary.

Taylor-Britt (abdomen) was designated to return from injured reserve and practiced Wednesday.

Taylor-Britt underwent core surgery in mid-August and started the season on injured reserve, sidelining him for the first four games of the season. His return to practice starts a 21-day window for him to be added to the active roster, but if he isn't he'll revert back to IR for the remainder of the season.

The Bengals placed Taylor-Britt (abdomen) on injured reserve Thursday.

Taylor-Britt underwent surgery on his core in mid-August, so the move to IR isn't surprising. He'll be forced to miss at least the first four games of the regular season, but when he returns, the rookie second-round pick figures to provide depth behind the starting duo of Chidobe Awuzie and Eli Apple.

Taylor-Britt (abdomen) underwent core surgery this week and will be out for the rest of training camp, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Taylor-Britt will likely be unavailable for the remainder of the preseason after undergoing corrective surgery for the injury he suffered in last week's game against the Cardinals. The cornerback will now shift his focus to being ready for the Bengals' regular season opener Sept. 11 versus the Steelers. Taylor-Britt is expected to operate as a depth option behind Chidobe Awuzie and Eli Apple in the team's secondary this year.

Taylor-Britt suffered a core muscle injury which forced him to miss Friday's preseason game and that could sideline him for multiple weeks. Dave Clark of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

These are critical reps that Taylor-Britt is missing, and could impact his ability to be ready for the Week 1 regular season opener against the Steelers.

The Bengals selected Taylor-Britt in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 60th overall.

Taylor-Britt (5-foot-11, 196 pounds) might be a multi-purpose defensive back for the Bengals after a standout career at Nebraska, potentially competing for reps at either corner or safety. While both positions are settled for the moment in Cincinnati, Taylor-Britt could emerge as a swing backup at both spots and essentially function as a starter despite playing off the bench. The one issue with his projection is the fact that nearly all these traits also apply to first-round Cincinnati selection Dax Hill, a cornerback/safety tweener out of Michigan. The Bengals have a lot of options to consider between the two versatile defenders.
