Oct 30, 2025
Eight tackles in win
Pratt recorded eight tackles (three solo), including one for a loss, in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Pratt led the team in tackles despite seeing his snap rate decrease for the third straight game, this time likely due to game script. He has 23 total tackles in three contests since joining the Colts and should continue to work alongside Zaire Franklin in the middle of the team's defense.
Oct 21, 2025
Solid outing in win
Pratt registered four tackles (two solo) in Indianapolis' win over the Chargers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Pratt had a solid outing in the victory despite playing just 63 percent of the team's defensive snaps. The 29-year-old has gotten off to a hot start since signing with the Colts on Oct. 8, racking up 15 tackles (10 solo) across his first appearances with the team.

Oct 8, 2025
Finds work in Indy
Pratt signed a one-year deal with the Colts on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Pratt signed a one-year deal with the Raiders this past offseason but played just four games before being released Monday. He's since found a new home in Indianapolis, reuniting with Lou Anarumo, who served as the Bengals' defensive coordinator during Pratt's time in Cincinnati. Over those four contests this season, the veteran linebacker tallied 25 total tackles and two passes defended. Now with the Colts, Pratt is likely to play a reserve role in the team's inside-linebacker corps during the Week 6 matchup against the Cardinals.

However, he was a surprise inactive for Las Vegas' Week 5 loss to the Colts and has since been released. Pratt tallied 143 total tackles and six passes defended, including two interceptions, and two forced fumbles over 17 regular-season games with the Bengals in 2024. Now a free agent, he's expected to draw interest from teams in need of inside linebacker depth.
Oct 5, 2025
Surprise inactive for Week 5
Pratt (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Pratt's absence comes as a surprise, given that he started in the first four games of the regular season and did not show up on the Raiders' injury report heading into Sunday's contest. Tommy Eichenberg and Cody Lindenberg are slated to see more snaps at linebacker in Pratt's absence, but Jamal Adams could also see some work at the position.

ANALYSIS
Pratt saw a dip in his workload, playing just 44 of the team's 58 defensive snaps after he saw action on 91 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 1 versus New England. The linebacker remained productive though, and he dropped an easy interception in the fourth quarter, otherwise he would've had an even better night. Through two contests in 2025, Pratt has registered 15 total tackles (six solo) and two passes defensed.
Sep 9, 2025

Jul 30, 2025
Back at practice
Pratt (hamstring) returned to training camp practices this week.
ANALYSIS
Pratt was held out of practices last week while tending to hamstring tightness, but the veteran linebacker appears to be past the issue. The 2019 third-rounder logged a career-high 143 tackles (80 solo) along with six pass defenses (two interceptions), two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over 17 regular-season games with the Bengals in 2024. Pratt signed a one-year deal with the Raiders in March and is expected to lead the Raiders' linebacker corps alongside Elandon Roberts and Tommy Eichenberg.
Jul 25, 2025
Working through tight hamstring
Pratt did not practice Friday due to hamstring tightness, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Pratt was held out of individual and team drills in order to work on his hamstring, but there's no indication that the injury is a long-term concern.

He logged a career-high 143 tackles (80 solo) across 17 regular-season games in 2024 along with six pass defenses (two interceptions), two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
Jun 11, 2025
Donning silver and black
Las Vegas signed Pratt to a one-year, $4.25 million contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Pratt was cut loose by Cincinnati on Monday, but it didn't take long for him to find another suitor. After all, he is coming off a season in which he recorded a career-high 143 tackles (80 solo), good for 10th in the NFL in 2024. He projects to start for the Raiders in 2025 and could be one of their leading tacklers if he stays healthy.
Jun 9, 2025
Being released by Bengals
Pratt is being released by Cincinnati on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Pratt officially requested a trade in February but the Bengals weren't able to find any suitable partners during either free agency or the 2025 NFL Draft, leading to the longtime starter now being released. Still heading into just his age-29 season, Pratt led Cincinnati with a career-high 143 tackles (80 solo) in 2024 across 17 regular-season appearances, while also logging two interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He'll likely be looking for a long-term contract with his next team.
Feb 12, 2025
Makes trade request
Pratt informed the Bengals on Wednesday of his request to be traded, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Pratt, a longtime lynchpin of Cincinnati's linebacker corps, led the team with a career-high 143 tackles (80 solo) across 17 regular-season appearances in 2024, in addition to six passes defensed, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. The Bengals' decision to shift from Lou Anarumo to Al Golden at defensive coordinator foreshadowed a potential parting of ways with Pratt, who ought to have a fair trade market heading into his age-29 season. If Pratt is able to achieve a favorable landing spot, he boasts the experience and skillset to remain a notable fantasy contributor in IDP formats.
Jan 9, 2025
Career-best 143 tackles in 2024
Pratt racked up 143 tackles (80 solo), six passes defensed, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 2024.
ANALYSIS
Pratt led Cincinnati's defense in tackles by a notable margin, with Logan Wilson (104 stops) coming in second place. The 28-year-old linebacker is now heading into the final year of his contract with the Bengals, setting him up to reprise a valuable starting role. For IDP purposes, Pratt's lack of upside as a pass rusher lowers his fantasy ceiling, but he could once again provide a notable floor as a run-stopper during the 2025 campaign.
Dec 30, 2024
Grabs second pick of season
Pratt recorded seven tackles (five solo) and an interception during Sunday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Broncos.
ANALYSIS

Dec 23, 2024
Five solo tackles against Cleveland
Pratt finished Sunday's 24-6 win over the Browns with five solo tackles.

Pratt will look to add to his total in a pivotal contest against the Broncos on Saturday.
Dec 10, 2024
Continues to make tackles

Pratt's 51 tackles are good enough for eighth in the NFL through five weeks, and he's expected to continue making plays for a depleted Bengals defense in the team's Week 6 matchup against the Giants.
Oct 1, 2024
Another nine tackles in win
Pratt recorded nine tackles (six solo) and one pass deflection in the Bengals' win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Sep 17, 2024
Tackling machine vs. Chiefs
Pratt registered 16 tackles (seven solo) and recovered a fumble he forced in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Pratt doubled his tackling output from Week 1 on Sunday, and he was joined by teammate Logan Wilson as the only two players to reach double-digit tackles. Pratt recovered a fumble that he forced out of running back Carson Steele in the second quarter, which led to an 48-yard field goal from Evan McPherson six plays later. Pratt's 24 tackles ranks second in the NFL through the first two weeks of the regular season, and the 2019 third-round pick should stay busy against Jayden Daniels and the Commanders in Week 3.

Solid outing versus Patriots
Pratt logged eight tackles (three solo) in Cincinnati's 16-10 loss versus New England on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Pratt finished tied with Dax Hill for second the team in tackles during Sunday's losing effort. The 28-year-old will look to improve upon this solid performance next week versus the Chiefs and help lead the Bengals to victory.
Jan 14, 2024
Career-year in 2023
Pratt logged 118 total tackles, including seven tackles for loss, while also intercepting two passes in 17 games with the Bengals during the 2023 regular season.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old linebacker has statistically improved in each of his five NFL seasons thus far, setting career-highs in total tackles, tackles for loss and sacks (2.0) in 2023. Pratt agreed to a three-year, $21 million contract with the Bengals this past offseason, which will keep him in Cincinnati through the 2025 season. The Bengals seem to have found a nice linebacker tandem, as Logan Wilson and Pratt combined for 253 total tackles this season. Expect Pratt to continue producing at a high-level for Cincinnati's defense in 2024.
Jan 2, 2024
Just one stop in loss
Pratt had one tackle in Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
It was Pratt's lowest tackling output of the season despite playing 48 defensive snaps. He has a career-high 116 tackles over 16 games this season and ranks second on the team in stops behind fellow linebacker Logan Wilson.
Dec 18, 2023
Leading tackler vs. Vikings
Pratt recorded 12 tackles (five solo) including 0.5 sacks in Saturday's 27-24 overtime win versus the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Pratt posted a double-digit tackle total for the third straight game in Week 15, and he eclipsed 100 tackles on the season for the first time in his career. He projects as a great IDP play in Week 16 when the Bengals travel to take on a run-heavy Pittsburgh offense.
Dec 11, 2023
Double-digit tackles again
Pratt registered 10 tackles (four solo), including half a sack, in Sunday's 34-14 win over the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Pratt reached double-digit tackles for the second straight game and tied with Logan Wilson for the team lead in that category. Pratt played just 49 defensive snaps -- his lowest usage since Week 3 against the Rams -- though he was still as effective as he's been all season. He's tied his career-high 99 tackles from last season and will likely hit the century mark for the first time in his career Saturday against the Vikings.
Dec 6, 2023

Nov 26, 2023
Suiting up Week 12
Pratt (illness) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Pratt missed Friday's practice with an illness, but it now seems as if that won't stop him from playing in Sunday's divisional matchup. The veteran linebacker has started all 10 of Cincinnati's games thus far, recording 71 total tackles, including five tackles for loss, while also nabbing two interceptions.
Nov 24, 2023
Questionable for Sunday
Pratt (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Pratt popped up on Cincinnati's injury report late in the week with an illness, and he was unable to practice Friday. The veteran linebacker has started all 10 of the Bengals' games thus far, logging 71 total tackles, including five tackles for loss and one sack. If Pratt were to miss Sunday's contest, Markus Bailey and Joe Bachie would likely see increased work on Cincinnati's defense.
Nov 13, 2023
Racks up nine tackles
Pratt tallied nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Pratt had a solid performance in the loss as his nine tackles were tied with Cameron Taylor-Britt for the most on the team. Pratt has now compiled 69 tackles (42 solo), including a sack, through nine games this season and will look to add to his totals versus the Ravens on Thursday.
Nov 7, 2023
Leads team in tackles Sunday
Pratt compiled 11 tackles (six solo) and forced a fumble during the Bengals' 24-18 win against the Bills on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Pratt logged double-digit tackles for the third time this campaign and also forced one of two turnovers for Cincinnati on Sunday. The 27-year-old has 60 tackles (38 solo), including a sack, and an interception in eight games and is currently on pace to set new career highs in all three categories.
Oct 31, 2023
Picks off Purdy in Week 8 win
Pratt registers five tackles (three solo) and a nine-yard interception return in Sunday's 31-17 win over the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Pratt's interception came late in the third quarter when the 49ers were in the redzone, with the linebacker picking off Brock Purdy on a pass intended for Elijah Mitchell in the endzone. It was the second interception of the season for Pratt, who has already tied a career-high he set in 2022. He's up to 49 tackles on the year and ranks third on the team in that category behind Logan Wilson (57) and Dax Hill (51).
Oct 10, 2023
Leads team in tackles
Pratt tallied a team-high 11 tackles (three solo) and an interception in the 34-20 victory over the Cardinals in Week 5.
ANALYSIS
Pratt's tackle total marked his second highest of the season through five games, and the pick was his first of the year. He had just three interceptions total through four seasons and is half-way to the career-high he set in 2022. The 27-year-old remains a reliable defender, as he saw the field for 53 snaps (93 percent). His lowest percentage this season was 88 in Week 2. The linebacker will attempt to carry his momentum into Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks.
Sep 18, 2023
Gets another good tackle total
Pratt recorded nine tackles in Sunday's 27-24 loss versus the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
In a game where Baltimore ran the ball 37 times, Pratt made good on his opportunities to tackle the ball carrier, improving his season-long tackle total to 20 after just two games. He's easily on track to post 100-plus tackles for the first time in his career ahead of Week 3 versus the Rams.
Sep 11, 2023
Productive in blowout loss
Pratt recorded 11 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble in Sunday's 24-3 loss at Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
He was also heavily involved in terms of snap count (64), second only to Logan Wilson among Cincinnati linebackers. His forced fumble came in his team's own red zone when the game was still tied 0-0 in the first quarter, but nothing Pratt could have done would have saved the Bengals in Week 1. He'll continue his quest for his first 100-tackle season versus Baltimore in Week 2.
Mar 13, 2023
Signs back on with Bengals
The Bengals re-signed Pratt to a three-year, $21 million contract, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.
ANALYSIS
One of the Bengals' key free agents, Pratt is a great keep for the defense. He's started 54 games since being taken in the third round of the 2019 draft. Pratt registered 99 tackles and a pair of interceptions across 15 starts last season.
Feb 1, 2023
Seven tackles in loss
Pratt had seven tackles in Sunday's AFC Championship Game loss to the Chiefs. He finished the regular season with 99 tackles, two interceptions, a sack and 10 passes defended. He'll be a free agent this offseason, and whether he'll return to the Bengals remains uncertain, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Pratt ranted after Joseph Ossai's crucial penalty in the AFC Championship Game, and later expressed his frustration with getting removed on third downs on occasion. But he also later apologized for the rant and expressed his desire to return. To his credit, Pratt has improved his pass coverage skills, making him more valuable on third downs.
Dec 20, 2022
Nabs late INT
Pratt recorded nine tackles (two solo) and two passes defended, including one interception, in Sunday's 34-23 win over Tampa Bay.
ANALYSIS
Pratt notched his second interception of the season, plucking a deflected pass out of the air just before it hit the turf early in the fourth quarter. The 250-pound linebacker also continued to play an important role in run defense alongside Cincinnati's leading tackler Logan Wilson, who paced the team with 15 tackles Sunday. Pratt has now recorded a career-high 92 tackles and seven passes defended this season, and he's actually tied with defensive backs Vonn Bell, Jessie Bates and Eli Apple for the team's most passes defended this season. Pratt will continue to play a prominent role against New England's limited offense Week 16.
Dec 6, 2022
Forces key fumble
Pratt forced and recovered a fumble from the Chiefs' Travis Kelce in the Bengals' win on Sunday for the only turnover of the game.
ANALYSIS
Overall Pratt had just four tackles for his second-lowest output of the season, but he seems to have a knack for coming up big at the right time. The Bengals trailed by four at the time, and they drove for the eventual game-winning touchdown following the turnover.
Nov 22, 2022
Eights stops in win
Pratt recorded eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 37-30 win over the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Pratt tied weakside linebacker Logan Wilson for the Bengals' second-most tackles against Pittsburgh, as he logged his sixth outing with at least eight stops in 2022. Over nine games, the middle linebacker has recorded 68 stops (35 solo), one sack, four passes defended and one interception, and he should have a chance to set a new career high in stops if he can remain healthy moving forward this season.
Nov 2, 2022
Nine tackles in MNF
Pratt recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Monday's 32-13 loss to the Browns.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old tied defensive end Sam Hubbard (finger) for the team's second-most tackles despite the return of starting linebacker Logan Wilson, who was sidelined with a shoulder injury Week 7. Pratt has recorded 59 tackles (29 solo), one sack and three passes defended over seven games in 2022, and he should set a new career high in tackles barring any injuries moving forward. He'll look to continue this consistent play against the Panthers this coming Sunday.
Oct 24, 2022
Six tackles in victory
Pratt recorded six tackles (two solo) in the Bengals' 35-17 Week 8 win over the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Operating without Logan Wilson (shoulder) at starting interior linebacker, Pratt was able to register six tackles in Sunday's victory. The 26-year-old played a season-high 98 percent of the defensive snaps in the contest, something that could be replicated in Week 8 against Cleveland if Wilson is unable to go again.
Oct 18, 2022
Game-high 14 stops in win
Pratt recorded 14 tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 30-26 win over the Saints.
ANALYSIS
In 58 out of a possible 72 defensive snaps (81 percent), Pratt was able to lead both sides in tackling in Week 6 with 14. He now has 44 stops, one sack and three passes defensed though five games played in 2022, and he'll look to replicate a similar performance in Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.
Sep 30, 2022
Team-high nine stops in win
Pratt recorded nine tackles (six solo) during Thursday's 27-15 win over the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Pratt missed the team's Week 3 win over the Jets and, despite logging two full practices, was still listed as questionable for Thursday night's matchup. Regardless, the linebacker was eventually deemed available and logged a team-high nine stops while playing just 65 percent of the team's defensive snaps. Through three appearances, the 2019 third-round pick has totaled 22 stops and one pass defense.
Sep 29, 2022
Active for TNF
Pratt (knee) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Pratt missed last Sunday's contest against the Jets with a knee injury, but he's now expected to suit up Thursday against Miami. Expect the 250-pound linebacker to reclaim his usual starting role in the middle of Cincinnati's defense in Week 4.
Sep 28, 2022
Questionable for TNF
Pratt (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Pratt was listed as limited Monday but upgraded to a full participant Tuesday and Wednesday, but he's still iffy for Thursday night's matchup. The 2019 third-round pick missed the team's Week 3 win over the Jets with the same injury, so it appears like Cincinnati is merely being cautious with its starting linebacker. If available, it's possible Pratt operates on a snap count on account of the knee injury.
Sep 27, 2022
Cleared from injury report
Pratt (knee) was a full participant in practice Tuesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Pratt missed the team's Week 3 win over the Jets with the injury, then was a limited participant in Monday's practice estimate. The move to full participation Tuesday should put Pratt on the field Thursday against the Dolphins, where he'll likely resume his role at middle linebacker.
Sep 26, 2022
Questionable for Thursday
Pratt (knee) was limited in the Bengals' estimated practice report Monday.
ANALYSIS
Pratt was inactive for the team's 27-12 win over the Jets on Sunday. If he's still not ready to return Thursday against the Dolphins, it'll be a blow to Bengals' linebacker corps, and likely lead to extra opportunity for Akeem Davis-Gaither.
Sep 25, 2022
Out Sunday
Pratt (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Jets, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Pratt was considered doubtful heading into Sunday, so his inability to suit up is not a surprise. In his absence, Markus Baily should step into a larger role. Pratt will work to return in time for Thursday's contest against the Dolphins.
Sep 23, 2022
Doubtful to play in Week 3
Pratt (knee) is doubtful to play in Sunday's Week 3 matchup with the Jets, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Pratt is nursing a knee injury and isn't expected to be ready to go Sunday at New York. If he's unavailable, Akeem Davis-Gaither and Markus Bailey are likely to fill in for Pratt at interior linebacker in Week 3.
Jan 3, 2022
Officially clears protocols
Pratt (illness) officially cleared the NFL's COVID-19 protocols Monday and is good to go for Week 18, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Pratt was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday in anticipation he'd play in Week 17, but he still tested positive Sunday morning and was ultimately downgraded to out. However, he has now cleared protocols after being sidelined for five days and will be available for the team's Week 18 showdown with the Browns. In his last four appearances, Pratt has totaled 39 tackles, one forced fumble and half a sack.
Jan 2, 2022
Not available Sudnay
The Bengals downgraded Pratt (conditioning) to out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Though Pratt tested out of the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol and was reinstated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, he apparently needs more time to regain conditioning following his bout with the virus. Logan Wilson and Markus Bailey are expected to serve as Cincinnati's primary linebackers while the team typically keeps four defensive lineman and five defensive backs on the field.
Jan 1, 2022
Off reserve/COVID-19 list
Pratt (undisclosed) was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Pratt has developed into an integral part of the emerging Bengals defense and Saturday's designation should afford him the chance to build upon his recent streak of positive play. The middle linebacker leads the team with 39 tackles combined over the last four weeks.

Placed on COVID-19 list
Pratt (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Pratt has played every single defensive snap over the last three games, so his potential absence would be a huge blow to the Bengals' defense. If he's unable to clear protocols ahead of the team's Week 17 contest against the Chiefs, then Keandre Jones and Austin Calitro would be likely candidates to fill the potential void at middle linebacker.

Another nine-tackle outing
Pratt had nine tackles (four solo) and one pass breakup during Sunday's overtime loss to the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Pratt has racked up 70 total tackles through 13 appearances this season, to go with two pass breakups, an interception, and two forced fumbles. He also has two fumble recoveries. Next on deck, the starting linebacker will travel to Denver for Week 15. He's played 95-plus percent of defensive snaps in back-to-back contests.

Strong impact in loss
Pratt had nine tackles (three solo), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery during Sunday's 41-22 loss to the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Pratt played all but two defensive snaps and had his most productive game of the season Sunday. The 2019 third-round pick averages just over five tackles per contest and has limited IDP appeal.

Eight tackles in Thursday's win
Pratt had eight tackles (five solo) and a tackle for loss in Thursday's 24-21 win over the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Pratt picked up just one tackle against the Bears in Week 2, but he has produced either seven or eight tackles in each of the Bengals' other three games. The 2019 third-round pick played a season-high 79 percent of Cincinnati's defensive snaps in this one after hovering between 43 and 60 percent in each of the team's first three games. That extra usage can be attributed to facing a run-heavy Jaguars offense, and Pratt's workload will likely decrease against more pass-heavy teams.

Leads team in tackles
Pratt tallied 12 tackles to lead the team in Week 1 against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Pratt vacuumed up plenty of tackles from his linebacker role. While none were particularly explosive, he logged 54 snaps on defense in addition to 16 on special teams. He'll continue to play a key role in multiple facets of the game in Week 2 against Cleveland.
Apr 25, 2020
Added competition
The Bengals drafted three linebackers (Logan Wilson, Akeem Davis-Gaither, and Markus Bailey) in the 2020 NFL Draft, meaning that Pratt will face competition for playing time despite finishing strong at the end of 2019.
ANALYSIS
Pratt didn't start playing on every down until Week 11, but from that point on he notched 53 of his 76 tackles on the season. He's more likely to retain a starting spot than fellow holdovers Jordan Evans and Hardy Nickerson, but he's on notice to produce right away.
Jan 24, 2020
Manages 76 stops as a rookie
Pratt notched 76 tackles (50 solo) across 16 regular-season contests in 2019.
ANALYSIS
Pratt began the 2019 season in a depth role, but he began regularly handling 60-plus percent of defensive snaps following Cincinnati's Week 9 bye. Given his strong play down the stretch, the 2019 third-round pick stands a fair chance of opening the 2020 season with IDP value.
