Stone (undisclosed) is participating in Friday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Stone had already been ruled out for Cincinnati's second preseason game, against the Commanders on Monday, and it wouldn't be surprising if he were still held out as a precaution. As he enters the final season of his two-year, $14 million contract, Stone remains positioned to reprise a starting role at safety, making it the Bengals' priority that he enters Week 1 at 100 percent health.

Stone is considered week-to-week due to a soft tissue injury and has been ruled out for the Bengals' second preseason game against the Commanders on Monday, Aug. 18, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Stone played just four defensive snaps during the Bengals' preseason loss to the Eagles on Thursday, and that may have been due to his injury. Given that it's training camp, Stone could also miss the Bengals' preseason finale against the Colts on Saturday, Aug. 23 in order to avoid aggravating the injury. If that were to be the case, Stone will aim to be fully healthy for Week 1 against the Colts. In the meantime, Tycen Anderson and Daijahn Anthony are the top candidates to work with the first-team defense at safety alongside Jordan Battle.

However, Stone helped turn the Bengals' defense around late in the season, managing four passes defended, including three interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), from Weeks 14 through 16. He's expected to remain one of the Bengals' starting safeties in 2025, aiming to build on his late-season success in 2024.

Stone recorded one solo tackle and two passes defended, including one interception, in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Browns.

Stone, a first-year Bengal, appears to be finding his groove in Cincinnati over the team's last three games, recording 11 total tackles and four passes defended, including three interceptions, during that span.

Stone recorded five tackles (one solo) and an interception returned for a touchdown during Sunday's 37-27 win at Tennessee.

Stone ran in front of an ill-advised Will Levis pass deep over the middle in the third quarter, and he kept his forward momentum to quickly return it 39 yards for a touchdown and put the Bengals up 31-14.

He's expected to start alongside Vonn Bell as part of the Bengals' top safety duo in Week 10.

Stone (shin) was listed as a limited practice participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Stone has been playing through a shin injury since Week 7, and he finished Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders with four tackles (two solo) while playing 58 snaps on defense.

Through the first nine games of the regular season, Stone has logged 46 tackles (25 solo), two pass breakups and one interception.

Stone (shin) is not among Cincinnati's inactives for Sunday's battle against Las Vegas.

Stone has been battling a shin injury since Week 7, but he was able to suit up last Sunday against the Eagles and logged 98 percent of the Bengals' defensive snaps. The safety will similarly be able to take the field this Sunday against the Raiders and shouldn't be restricted in his playing time. Stone has tallied 42 tackles (23 solo) and an interception in eight contests on the campaign.

Stone (shin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Stone popped up on the Bengals' injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a shin issue.

Stone (leg) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Stone upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to a full session Friday, indicating that he's already moved past the leg injury sustained in the Bengals' Week 7 win over the Browns. Expect the first-year Bengal to start alongside Vonn Bell as part of Cincinnati's top safety duo in Week 8.

Stone (leg) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Stone opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday due to a leg injury he sustained during the Bengals' Week 7 win over the Browns. Despite being carted off the field during the game, he was able to avoid serious injury, and his ability to practice Thursday indicates that the 2020 seventh-round pick could be available for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, though Friday's injury report will provide clarity on that front. Stone has logged 37 tackles (21 solo), two pass breakups and one interception through the first seven games of the regular season.

Stone (leg) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Stone was carted off the field during Sunday's 21-14 win over the Browns due to a leg injury. Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reported Monday that Stone is considered week-to-week with the injury, and the 2020 seventh-round pick would have to practice in at least a limited capacity Thursday or Friday in order to have a shot at suiting up against the Eagles on Sunday. If Stone were to miss time, 2023 third-round pick Jordan Battle would figure to have the upper hand over Tycen Anderson for the starting free safety job alongside strong safety Vonn Bell.

Stone is considered week-to-week as he deals with the injury he sustained to his left leg during Sunday's game at Cleveland, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

After Stone was carted off the field in Week 7, it was feared that he'd suffered a broken bone, so Monday's update should be relieving for Cincinnati. He may still have to miss some game action though, in which case 2023 third-rounder Jordan Battle would figure to see an expanded role.

Stone will not return to Sunday's game against the Browns due to a left leg injury.

Stone recorded seven tackles (three solo) and one pass defended prior to exiting the game. In his absence, Tycen Anderson is the top candidate to fill in at free safety.

Stone led the Ravens in tackles after being inserted into the starting free safety role for the injured Kyle Hamilton (knee). Stone made the most of it as he played 100 percent of defensive snaps and picked off Tua Tagovailoa in the third quarter on a pass intended for Tyreek Hill. Stone is now up to seven interceptions on the year, which is second-most in the NFL behind DaRon Bland. With the Ravens already locked into the top seed of the AFC, Stone could see extended playing time in Week 18 against the Steelers if Baltimore elects to sit Hamilton for a second-straight week.

Stone (ribs) did not appear on the Ravens' injury report Wednesday.

Stone suffered a ribs injury in the team's 22-19 loss to the Colts in Week 3, but he appears to be ready to go for Sunday's matchup with the Browns. He could draw the start at free safety with Marcus Williams (pectoral) uncertain again in Week 4.

With Marcus Williams (pectoral) forced to sit out in Week 2, Stone drew the start at safety Sunday. He made the most of his opportunity, leading Baltimore in tackles and intercepting Joe Burrow in the red zone to preserve a three-point lead in the second half. It seems likely at this point that Williams will be out again in Week 3, so Stone should be expected to start again versus Anthony Richardson and Indianapolis.

Stone was one-of-two Ravens' players to be on the field for every defensive snap during Thursday's win in Tampa Bay, and he also led Baltimore in stops in the contest.

Stone was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.

Stone tested positive for the virus and was sidelined for the Ravens' Week 16 loss to the Bengals. However, he will likely reclaim his usual backup safety role during Week 17.

The Ravens placed Stone on their reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
