Keep up with the latest injuries from the Patriots vs Bengals game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Oct 20, 2024
Set for 2024 debut
Ivey (knee) is active Week 7 against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
It's been 11 days since Ivey was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list, and he's now in the clear for his 2024 season debut. Look for the second-year player to take on a depth role in the Cincinnati secondary and potentially a role on special teams.

Activated off PUP list
The Bengals activated Ivey (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Ivey opened the regular season on the reserve/PUP list while recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in December of 2023. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 9, and given that he was a full participant in all three practices this week, he should be available to make his 2024 regular-season debut against the Browns on Sunday. The 2023 seventh-round pick appeared in eight regular-season games for Cincinnati in his rookie year, and he finished with three solo tackles, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery.

Gets back to practice
Ivey (knee) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Ivey opened camp on the PUP list as he continued to recover from a torn ACL suffered in Week 15 last season. The 24-year-old now has a 21-day window to practice with the team before needing to be placed on the 53-man roster. Considering the amount of time he has missed, it's likely the Bengals may make use of most of that time, getting Ivey back up to speed.

Begins season on PUP list
The Bengals placed Ivey on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Ivey continues to recover from a torn ACL injury he suffered in Week 15 against the Vikings. The 2023 seventh-round pick will be forced to miss the first four games of the regular season, and the earliest he would be able to return is Week 5 against the Ravens.

Sent to PUP list
The Bengals placed Ivey (knee) on the active/PUP list Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Ivey ended last season on IR due to an ACL injury he suffered Week 15 versus Minnesota, and the cornerback isn't yet fully recovered. He can be activated off the PUP list at any time during the preseason, at which point he'd be eligible to practice and play in exhibition contests.

Done for season
Ivey (knee) was placed on IR on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Ivey suffered an ACL injury in Saturday's win over the Vikings, which will end his rookie campaign early. The 23-year-old had mostly worked on special teams thus far in his career, so his absence in the final weeks of the Bengals' season shouldn't impact the secondary. Ivey will now turn his focus to being ready for the 2024 campaign.

Injures left knee
Ivey injured his left knee while on punt coverage and will not return to Saturday's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Ivey, a seventh-round rookie pick out of Miami had started to play more as of late on defense while also being the "gunner" on punt coverage. He had to be carted off the field with what looked to be a significant injury.

Cincy bound
The Bengals selected Ivey in the seventh round of the NFL Draft, 246th overall.
ANALYSIS
Ivey is a lanky corner out of Miami (Fla.) who boasts five career collegiate interceptions to his resume, but the 23-year-old was an inconsistent tackler and too often gave up big plays against lesser competition. Expect Ivey to compete for a role on special teams to begin his NFL career.
