Logan Wilson Injury News & Updates

Wilson is active for Monday's game against the Raiders.

Wilson is past a calf injury that caused him to miss one regular-season game with the Bengals before being traded to the Cowboys in early November. With an extra week of practices under his belt courtesy of the Cowboys' Week 10 bye, Wilson should play a prominent role on defense alongside Shemar James and Kenneth Murray. Wilson posted 46 tackles (19 solo), four pass defenses and one fumble recovery across eight regular-season games with the Bengals prior to his trade.

Wilson (calf) was not listed on the Cowboys' Week 11 injury report, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegramreports.

Prior to moving from Cincinnati to Dallas as part of a last minute trade, Wilson was inactive for the Bengals' Week 9 matchup with the Bears due to a calf injury. Now a Cowboy coming off a bye week, Wilson appears healthy and ready to be the starting weakside linebacker for Monday's matchup with the Raiders.

The Cowboys are slated to trade a seventh-round draft pick to the Bengals in exchange for Wilson, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Wilson, who requested to be dealt last month after his snaps had decreased, is thus in line to move from one struggling defense to another, but once he moves past the calf issue that sidelined him in Week 9, the 29-year-old will provided a needed boost to the Cowboys linebacker corps. Per ESPN.com, Wilson has two years remaining on a four-year, $36 million extension that he signed in July 2023. In eight games with the Bengals this season, the 2020 third-rounder (who logged 104 tackles in 11 games in 2024) has recorded 46 tackles. With Dallas on bye in Week 10, Wilson will have added time to recover from his injury, as well as acclimate himself to his new team's defensive system.

Wilson (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Wilson's absence comes as little surprise after he was unable to practice this week due to the calf injury before being listed as doubtful heading into Sunday. Before succumbing to the injury, the veteran linebacker has seen his playing time get scaled back in each of the past three weeks while the Bengals opened up more snaps for rookies Demetrius Knight and Barrett Carter. As a result of the drop in playing time, Wilson put in a request for a trade, and Dianna Russini of The Athletic relays that the Bengals have received inquiries from several teams regarding the 29-year-old's availability ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline.

Wilson (calf) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

The veteran linebacker from Wyoming didn't practice all week due to a calf injury and is now expected to miss his first game of the season Sunday. With both Wilson and Oren Burks (groin, questionable) dealing with injuries ahead of the Week 9 matchup, Joe Giles-Harris is expected to have a larger role in Cincinnati's inside-linebacker corps.

Wilson (calf) remained a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson hasn't missed a game this season, but he's in danger of being absent for Sunday's game against the Bears. His absence from practice could be linked to the linebacker's recent trade request, as the Nov. 4 trade deadline is fast approaching.

Wilson did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a calf injury, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Wilson may have picked up the injury during the Bengals' Week 8 loss against the Jets, when he logged five tackles (two solo). However, his omission from Wednesday's practice could also be due to the trade request he made this past Thursday after seeing his playing time on defense dip significantly in Weeks 6 and 7. Wilson's practice participation over the next two days will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.

Wilson requested a trade from the Bengals on Thursday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson has started all seven games to this point in the season, but he's been a starter in name only for Cincinnati, as he's logged just 19.7 and 45.6 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the past two contests. The Bengals have moved in the direction of rookies Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight at linebacker. With Wilson's playing time fading, he's looking for a new opportunity elsewhere. Wilson is signed through the 2027 season.

Wilson recorded four tackles (one solo) and one pass defensed in Thursday's 33-31 win over the Steelers.

Wilson has been usurped by rookie Barrett Carter, with Carter and Demetrius Knight forming the starting inside linebacker duo. Wilson did see the field for 26 of 57 defensive snaps (45.6 percent), but he's no longer a reliable IDP contributor.

Wilson was benched in favor of rookie Barrett Carter in Sunday's loss to the Packers, Charlie's Chalkboard reports. Wilson still managed four tackles in the snaps he did play.

Wilson struggled, especially in coverage, last week against the Lions, and the Bengals decided to turn to Carter full-time instead. Barring an injury to Carter or fellow rookie Demetrius Knight, this appears to be a full-time change.

Wilson recorded eight total tackles (three solo) and recovered a fumble in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.

Wilson matched his season high in tackles, finishing tied for the team lead with linebacker Demetrius Knight and defensive lineman Tedarrell Slaton. Additionally, Wilson jumped on a loose ball after Trey Hendrickson stripped Jared Goff in the first quarter, securing his first fumble recovery of the year. The linebacker has now compiled 33 total tackles (15 solo), three passes defensed and a fumble recovery over five games this year.

Wilson tallied five tackles (two solo) in Cincinnati's loss versus the Broncos on Monday.

Wilson had a relatively quiet outing in the loss, while playing on both defense and special teams. The 29-year-old is once again on pace to surpass 100 tackles this season, a mark he's reached in four of the last five campaigns.

Wilson finished Sunday's loss to the Vikings with five tackles (two solo).

It was a pretty quiet game for Wilson, who finished with a season-low mark in tackles. The good news is that he led Bengals linebackers with a 70 percent snap share after dealing with an ankle injury early in the week. Wilson has 20 tackles (10 solo) and three defensed passes through three contests this season.

Wilson (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Wilson was limited Wednesday, but his return to a full sessions puts Wilson on track to play Sunday against the Vikings. Wilson has recorded 15 tackles (eight solo) and three pass breakups on 92 percent of the Bengals' defensive snaps through two games.

Wilson (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Wilson played every defensive snap in Cincinnati's Week 2 win over Jacksonville, so it's unclear when this injury popped up. It's positive that he was able to practice in any fashion, but his status will be worth watching in the week's two remaining practices.

Wilson logged eight tackles (four solo) during the Bengals' 31-27 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Wilson was one of four Bengal defenders to play all 71 defensive snaps Sunday and finished tied with Dax Hill for the second most tackles on the team behind Geno Stone (nine). Wilson is up to 15 total tackles through the first two games of the 2025 campaign and is on track to record 100-plus tackles for a fifth consecutive season. Wilson and the Bengals will be facing a Vikings team on Sunday that will be starting veteran Carson Wentz in the absence of J.J. McCarthy (knee).

Wilson tallied seven total tackles (four solo) and two passes defended in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Browns.

Wilson had to leave Sunday's contest for a brief moment while being evaluated for a concussion, but he remained one of Cincinnati's most impactful defenders. The Wyoming product had his 2024 campaign cut short due to a knee injury, but across his 11 appearances, he still managed 104 total tackles, two forced fumbles and one pass defended. Wilson is likely to continue serving as one of the Bengals' defensive leaders ahead of a Week 2 matchup with the Jaguars.

Wilson (head) has returned to Sunday's game against the Browns, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Wilson has been cleared to return after he went to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion. Wilson will come back at middle linebacker while Barrett Carter slides back to a rotational role.

Wilson is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns.

Wilson appeared to suffer the injury in the the third quarter while tackling tight end Harold Fannin. Wilson is back in the locker room while undergoing an evaluation for a concussion, and Barrett Carter has seen more snaps with the first-team defense in the former's absence.

Wilson (knee) participated during OTAs on Tuesday, Ryan Meyer of the Bengals' official site reports.

Wilson finished the 2024 season on Cincinnati's injured reserve list after getting surgery on his knee back in December, missing all of the last six games of the year. Now though, he looks to be back in playing shape for the start of offseason workouts. He'll be going after a fifth straight year with 100-plus tackles in 2025.

Wilson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

Wilson's shift to IR comes as no surprise, as he underwent a cleanup procedure on his knee Thursday and is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season. The 28-year-old could return for the postseason if the 4-8 Bengals miraculously make the playoffs, though that appears to be a longshot. Wilson accumulated 104 total tackles, one pass defended and two forced fumbles in 11 appearances this season.

Wilson underwent a cleanup procedure on his knee Thursday and is expected to miss the rest of the regular season, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Cincinnati hasn't confirmed that Wilson underwent the procedure, but head coach Zac Taylor will likely touch on the matter when he speaks to the media following the Bengals' first official Week 14 practice later Thursday. According to Garafolo, the projected recovery timeline for Wilson would give the linebacker a chance at returning for the playoffs, but the 4-8 Bengals are shaping up as longshots for the postseason. Before sitting out this past Sunday's loss to the Steelers with the knee injury, Wilson had played in each of Cincinnati's first 11 games of the season, recording 104 tackles and two forced fumbles while also recovering two fumbles.

Wilson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Despite not practicing during Week 13 prep, Wilson drew a questionable tag. However, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Saturday night that the Bengals' leading tackler was unlikely to play versus Pittsburgh, so his inactive status isn't surprising. In Wilson's absence, Akeem Davis-Gaither will start.

Wilson, who is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh due to a knee injury, isn't expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Wilson didn't practice at all this week, but he was still deemed questionable heading into Sunday's matchup. If he misses the contest as expected, it will be a big loss for Cincinnati, as Wilson leads the team with 104 tackles while playing 100 percent of the squad's defensive snaps in nine of 11 games. Joe Bachie may be asked to step into a major defensive role in Wilson's likely absence.

Wilson (knee) is questionable to play Sunday versus Pittsburgh, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

A knee issue has prevented Wilson from practicing all week, but there's still a chance he could play Sunday. The veteran linebacker has been a consistent presence in the Bengals' defense this year, tallying at least eight tackles in all 11 of the team's games so far. If Wilson ends up missing Sunday, Joe Bachie could slide into a starting role.

Wilson (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson played every single defensive snap during the Bengals' Week 11 loss to the Chargers, finishing with eight tackles (four solo) and one forced fumble. However, coming out of the Week 12 bye, it appears the 2020 third-round pick is now working through a knee injury, which forced him to be sidelined during Wednesday's practice. Wilson will have two more chances this week to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's AFC North clash against the Steelers.

Wilson recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers.

The linebacker also played on every defensive snap for the ninth time in 11 games this season. Wilson is up to 104 tackles (55 solo) on the year, the fourth straight campaign in which he's made at least 100 stops. This year, he also has a pass breakup, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

Wilson recorded nine tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 41-24 Week 9 win over the Raiders. He added two fumble recoveries.

Trey Hendrickson was the defensive star for Cincinnati with 4.0 sacks, but Wilson performed well too by leading the team in tackles. He added a pair of second-half fumble recoveries that each led to the Bengals putting points on the scoreboard. Wilson has been a very steady IDP asset this season, logging at least eight tackles in each of his nine games. He ranks third in the NFL with 88 stops overall.

Wilson recorded seven tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 37-17 loss versus the Eagles.

Wilson's seven tackles in Week 8 were actually the fewest he's had in any game so far this season. It was a tough day for the Cincinnati defense as a whole, but especially for the run defense, which gave up 161 yards and three touchdowns on 39 carries Sunday. Wilson still projects as a solid IDP option for Week 9 versus the Raiders.

Wilson recorded 10 total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Browns.

Wilson was able to reach double-digit tackles for the fourth time in seven games this season, finishing with nine stops in each of the other three contests. In 2024, Wilson has now compiled 71 total tackles (40 solo) and a forced fumble.

Wilson recorded nine tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Giants.

The linebacker also played on every defensive snap for the fifth time in six games. Wilson is second in the NFL with 61 tackles so far this season. The fifth-year pro recorded at least 100 tackles in each of the last three campaigns.

Wilson recorded nine total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Ravens.

The fifth-year pro tied both Sam Hubbard and Germaine Pratt for the most stops on the Bengals' defense in Sunday's loss. Wilson has now accumulated 52 total tackles and one forced fumble through Cincinnati's first five games, which makes him tied for the NFL's fourth-leading tackler. Expect Wilson to remain a valuable IDP asset as the Bengals take on the Giants in Week 6.

Wilson recorded 10 tackles (five solo) in the Bengals' win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Wilson added one QB hit and now has double-digit tackles in three of the Bengals' four contests, logging 100 percent of the defensive snaps in all four. On the year, Wilson is up to 43 tackles (24 solo), including one TFL, four QB hits and one fumble recovery. His 43 tackles are fourth-most in the NFL through four weeks.

Wilson tallied nine tackles (six solo) in Monday's 38-33 loss to Washington.

Wilson, Germaine Pratt and Vonn Bell all co-led the Bengals with nine tackles each Monday. Wilson has played every single defensive snap through the first three games of the regular season, and his 33 tackles over that span ranks fourth in the NFL.

Wilson recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in the Bengals' 26-25 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Wilson has registered 12 tackles in back-to-back weeks, and he was the Bengals' second-leading tackler Sunday behind Germaine Pratt. Wilson and Pratt each have 24 tackles for the season, which is second-most in the NFL through the first two weeks of the year. Wilson has logged 100-plus tackles in each of the last three seasons, and he'll look to continue producing against the Commanders in Week 3. The 2020 third-round pick was dealing with a knee injury during practice leading up to Week 2, which will be worth monitoring when the Bengals release their injury report Thursday.

Wilson (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs.

The 28-year-old was able to practice in full Friday after logging a DNP to start Cincinnati's week of practice, so it appears he's moved past his knee issue. With Wilson returning to full health, he's expected to serve as the Bengals' top inside linebacker in Sunday's rivalry game.

Wilson (knee) logged a limited practice Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Wilson missed practice Wednesday, so it's good news he was able to get on the field Thursday. The Wyoming product played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 1, so it's unlikely he's dealing with any type of long-term injury and Wednesday's absence may have been more maintenance-related.

Wilson (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Wilson posted a strong 13-tackle performance in the Bengals' regular-season opener, but he now appears to be dealing with a knee injury. The 28-year-old linebacker's practice participation Thursday and Friday will be something to look out for, as these sessions will provide better indications of whether Wilson will be able to suit up in Week 2.

Wilson notched 13 tackles (seven solo) and forced a fumble during CIncinnati's 16-10 loss to New England on Sunday.

Wilson had a strong performance despite the loss, as he managed to lead the team in tackles. The 28-year-old, who was the team's leading tackler a season ago, will look to keep producing as the season goes on.

Wilson logged 135 total tackles, including five tackles for loss, while also forcing two fumbles and intercepting four passes in 17 games with the Bengals during the 2023 regular season.

Wilson had the most productive season of his career in 2023, posting his third consecutive season with 100-plus stops and beating his previous best's in total tackles, forced fumbles and pass deflections. The fourth-year pro inked an extension before the year that will keep him in Cincinnati through the 2027 season. Wilson has statistically improved every year since entering the NFL and he'll look to make his first Pro Bowl or All-Pro team in 2024.

Wilson had five tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chiefs.

Despite playing every single defensive snap for the third straight game -- and 13th time this season -- his five tackles Sunday was his lowest output since Week 10 against the Texans. He's up to 130 tackles on the season, which is a career high for the 2020 third-round pick out of Wyoming.

Wilson finished with 11 tackles (three solo), including a tackle for a loss, and a pass defensed in the Bengals' 34-11 loss to the Steelers on Saturday.

The linebacker also played on 100 percent of the defensive snaps for the 12th time in 15 games. Wilson has 125 tackles, eight passes defensed, three interceptions and three forced fumbles in 2023.

Wilson recorded 10 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 34-14 win over the Colts.

Wilson tied with Germaine Pratt for the most tackles on the team Sunday. It was the fifth time this season that Wilson reached the double-digit tackle mark and he's registered eight-plus tackles in four straight games. He's now up to 107 tackles on the season -- most on the Bengals' defense -- and it's the third straight time in his career that he has reached the century mark.

Wilson (ankle) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

His status for the Bengals' first practice of the new week suggests that the ankle issue he picked up during Sunday's loss versus the Steelers won't cause him to miss any more game action. He's on pace for the best season of his career and projects as a very good IDP option for Week 13 when Cincinnati travels to take on Jacksonville.

Wilson suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. He finished the game with 10 tackles (six solo).

Wilson led the Bengals in tackles in the tight contest, but he went down while assisting on a tackle late in the fourth quarter and didn't return. Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor said after the game that the injury is to Wilson's ankle and that the severity isn't yet known. Wilson's likelihood of playing next Monday against Jacksonville should become clearer during Week 13 prep.

Wilson totaled nine tackles (six solo) in Thursday's Week 11 loss to Baltimore.

Wilson played every one of Cincinnati's defensive snaps for the eighth straight week and finished second on the team with nine stops. He's had at least eight tackles in five of his past six games and is up to 79 stops on the campaign. That gives him a good chance of surpassing the career-best mark of 123 total tackles he registered last season.

Wilson had 11 tackles (nine solo) and a 16-yard interception in Sunday's 31-17 win over the 49ers.

Wilson picked off Brock Purdy on a pass intended for Brandon Aiyuk early in the fourth quarter, which the Bengals' offense took advantage of by scoring on a 17-yard passing touchdown from Joe Burrow to Ja'Marr Chase. Wilson registered 11 tackles for the second straight game, leads the team with 57 on the season played 100 percent of the defensive snaps for the fifth straight game.

Wilson recorded 11 tackles (nine solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 17-13 win over Seattle.

Wilson was able to register a season-high amount of takedowns while also snagging his first sack of the 2023 campaign in the victory. The linebacker is now up to 46 tackles, including the sack, while also intercepting two passes and deflecting three others over the team's first six games of the year.

Wilson accumulated nine tackles (four solo) and one pass deflected in the 34-20 win over the Cardinals in Week 5.

Wilson's tackle count marked his second highest of the season through five games, and the pass deflection was his third overall. It was his fourth game playing every defensive snap, so his reliability as a defender continues to impress. The 27-year-old will now set his sights on Cincinnati's Week 6 matchup with the Seahawks.

Wilson played all 55 defensive snaps and finished with four tackles and two sacks in the Bengals' 19-16 victory over the Rams on Monday.

The linebacker also contributed to a defensive effort in which the Bengals forced the Rams to punt six times. Wilson recorded 18 tackles over Cincinnati's first two games.

Wilson recorded 10 tackles in Sunday's 27-24 loss versus Baltimore.

Wilson did what he does best Sunday, posting a great tackle total despite his team's tough loss. He's still an obvious start in most IDP formats ahead of a Week 3 matchup versus the Rams.

Wilson (ankle) was a full participant at practice Thursday ahead of Sunday's game versus Baltimore, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

In an unsurprising development, it looks like Wilson should be good to go for Week 2 after tallying eight tackles in Week 1. Baltimore ran the ball 32 times against just 22 pass attempts Sunday, so at least on paper it appears Wilson should have ample opportunity to defend the run versus the Ravens.

Wilson recorded eight tackles in Sunday's 24-3 loss at the Browns.

Wilson had a solid day in his first game after signing a four-year $37.25 million extension back in August. He's well on pace to record his third consecutive 100-tackle season and should have plenty more opportunities to tackle ball carriers when Cincinnati hosts Baltimore in Week 2.

Wilson and the Bengals agreed to a four-year extension worth up to $37.25 million Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Wilson has steadily improved in his tackling numbers since being drafted by the Bengals in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He led the Bengals last season with 123 tackles to go along with 2.5 sacks, four pass deflections, one interception and one forced fumble in 15 games. With this extension, Wilson is set to remain as a key piece of a Bengals' defense that finished sixth in rushing yards per game (106.6) and fifth in points allowed per game (20.1) last season.

Wilson recorded nine tackles (seven solo), including one sack, and a forced fumble during Sunday's 22-18 win over the Patriots.

Wilson posted at least half a sack for the third game in a row, bringing down Mac Jones for a nine-yard loss to end New England's first offensive series of the game. The third-year linebacker also forced his first fumble of the season, though this near-turnover on the first play of the second half ultimately stayed with the Patriots after rolling out of bounds. Wilson has now posted 41 tackles and 2.5 sacks over the last three games, and he'll look to keep up this hot stretch of production Week 17 versus Buffalo on Monday Night Football.

Wilson posted 15 tackles (nine solo), including one sack, in Sunday's 34-23 victory versus the Buccaneers.

Wilson has been a very consistent tackler for Cincinnati this season, though his production has exploded over the past two weeks with 32 combined tackles. The third-year linebacker has also taken on a larger pass-rushing role, logging all 1.5 of his sacks this season during this span as well. Wilson has now set new career highs in tackles (106) and sacks this season, and he should continue to split the Bengals' top-tackling duties with fellow linebacker Germaine Pratt in Week 16 versus New England.

Wilson logged 17 tackles in Sunday's win over the Browns. He got credited with half a sack on one of those tackles.

In some weeks, the Bengals' tackles have been funneled to Germaine Pratt or Cam Taylor-Britt, but in Week 14 Wilson got the lion's share. He's been a consistent source all season, netting seven or more tackles in all but three of the games that he's played.

Wilson recorded seven tackles (four solo) and a tackle for loss Sunday during the 27-24 win against the Chiefs.

Wilson turned in another solid performance despite being questionable heading into the game with an illness. The 25-year-old linebacker has now recorded at least seven tackles over the past three weeks while playing 100 percent of the team's snaps over that span. Wilson will look to maintain this level of play versus the Browns next week.

Wilson (illness) will be active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Wilson was deemed questionable to play after missing practice Friday with an illness. However, the starting linebacker was still expected to play according to Bengals coach Zac Taylor, and he should play an important role in defending the middle of the field against Kansas City's high-powered passing offense.

Wilson (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Kansas City, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Despite the technical designation, Coach Zac Taylor expects Wilson to play in Week 13 after missing practice Friday with an illness. He notched nine tackles in Week 12 at Tennessee, but he'll probably have to drop back into coverage more often against Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.

Wilson recorded nine tackles (five solo) and one pass defensed during Sunday's 20-16 win over the Titans.

Wilson was one of four Cincinnati defenders to play every defensive snap in the Week 12 matchup versus Tennessee, and he ultimately benefitted by posting a game-high nine tackles. The 26-year-old will look to retain his every-down role this weekend in the AFC Championship Game rematch against the Chiefs.

Wilson logged eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 37-30 win against the Steelers.

Wilson tied middle linebacker Germaine Pratt for the Bengals' second-most tackles behind cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt in Week 11. The 26-year-old weakside linebacker has now recorded at least seven tackles in six of his nine games played this season. Wilson figures to play a major role in slowing down bell-cow running back Derrick Henry in Week 12 against Tennessee.

Wilson collected eight tackles (six solo) in Monday's 32-13 defeat versus the Browns.

Wilson played all but one of the Bengals' defensive snaps and logged his second-highest number of tackles in a game this season, as he returned from a shoulder injury that kept him sidelined Week 7. The linebacker has never managed to play more than 13 regular-season games in the first two seasons of his career, though he could stand to finish with a new career high in tackles if he remains healthy moving forward in 2022. Wilson will look to notch another productive outing this coming Sunday against Carolina.

Wilson (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Andrew Gillis of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wilson missed Sunday's win over the Falcons due to the injury, but it appears he should be ready to go Monday against the Browns. The return of the third-year linebacker would definitely be a boost to the Bengals' defense, especially against league-leading rusher, Nick Chubb.

Bengals' coach Zac Taylor is confident that Wilson (shoulder) could return Monday night against the Browns, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports.

The Bengals' first practice won't be until Thursday, with them playing at Cleveland on Monday night. Given Wilson's previous shoulder issues, the team will have to be vigilant about any sort of setback.

Wilson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Falcons, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Wilson will miss his first contest of the season after suffering a shoulder injury in Week 6 versus the Saints. The linebacker was initially considered week-to-week and head coach Zack Taylor said Friday that the team will "protect him from himself" in Week 7. His status is worth monitoring moving forward as he could potentially return for Monday Night Football in Week 8 against the Browns. In Wilson's absence Sunday, Clay Johnston will likely see an uptick in usage on Cincinnati's defensive unit.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that Wilson (shoulder) is day-to-day and hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Wilson was initially considered week-to-week after being forced out of the Bengals' Week 6 win over the Saints due to a shoulder injury, so Taylor's comments are certainly encouraging. The third-year linebacker presumably won't practice Wednesday, but he'll have two more opportunities to do so before Cincinnati needs to make a decision on his status for Week 7.

Coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday's he's "hopeful it's week-to-week" for Wilson (shoulder), Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Wilson was forced out of Sunday's win due to a shoulder injury, and it looks like he could potentially miss time. It remains to be seen whether the Bengals will consider placing Wilson on IR, which would mandate he misses a minimum of four games, but in any case it's encouraging that the team has cleared Joe Bachie (knee) to resume practicing.

Wilson (shoulder) was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Wilson recorded four tackles before picking up a shoulder injury at some point against New Orleans, though the exact nature and severity of this issue are still unclear. The starting linebacker's earliest chance to return will come during next Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Wilson made seven tackles (four solo) in Thursday's 27-15 victory over the Dolphins.

Wilson once again played every defensive snap Thursday, registering seven tackles. The effort raises his season total to 26 tackles while he's also intercepted a pass and deflected two others over four games. The linebacker will attempt to keep up his strong play when the Bengals take on the Ravens on Sunday Night Football in Week 5.

Wilson collected seven tackles (three solo), one interception and one pass defensed during Sunday's 27-12 victory over the Jets.

Wilson recorded his seventh career interception during Sunday's win over the Jets, as he also played 100 percent of the Bengals' defensive snaps in Week 3. Through Cincinnati's first three contests, the 245-pound linebacker has totaled 19 tackles, one pick and two defensed passes. Wilson will look to continue his strong efforts when the team hosts Miami on Thursday night.

Wilson had eight tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Steelers.

Wilson was one of three Bengals to tie for the team lead with eight tackles alongside Mike Hilton and Germaine Pratt. After a 100-tackle season in 2021, Wilson's locked into a starting linebacker role for the reigning AFC champs.

Wilson (shoulder) was not a member of the Bengals' injury report Wednesday.

Wilson returned to team practice in a limited fashion in mid-August, but he now appears to be a full go again after undergoing shoulder surgery in February. The 25-year-old recorded 100 tackles and four interceptions over 13 games for Cincinnati last year, and he should slot in alongside fellow starting linebackers Germaine Pratt and Akeem Davis-Gaither during Sunday's Week 1 matchup against Pittsburgh.

Wilson (shoulder) did some 11-on-11 work Sunday and will continue to be eased back to full strength, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Wilson's 11-on-11 work was his first team action of training camp, which is definitely a positive sign, but the linebacker still isn't full go yet. The 2020 third-round pick played through the issue during the Bengals' run to the Super Bowl but underwent offseason surgery in February. Wilson still expects to be fully cleared in time for the Bengals' final preseason game.

Wilson (shoulder) expected to participate in some full team activity in practice on Sunday for the first time since training camp started, Bengals radio announcer Dan Hoard reports.

Wilson was able to play through the shoulder injury throughout the playoffs, but then had surgery in February. He's been mostly limited to individual drills so far. He expects to be fully cleared in time for the Bengals' final preseason game.

Wilson (shoulder) said Wednesday that he plans to work his way into training camp slowly as he continues to recover from his injury, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Wilson seemed optimistic about the situation, saying, "it's good." It's likely the Bengals are just playing it safe with last season's team leader in tackles, and it's still realistic to expect he returns in full before training camp is over. Cincinnati's star on-ball linebacker should be a high-quality IDP option this season.

Wilson (undisclosed) is working on the rehab field, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson missed OTAs due to a shoulder injury, but was practicing in full with the team a week ago. Whether the Bengals are just being cautious, or if Wilson's shoulder is still an issue is unknown.

Wilson has recovered from his shoulder injury and practiced with the first team defense Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Wilson had missed most of the offseason activities while recovering from shoulder surgery, but he appears to be ready to go for the upcoming season. The linebacker will look to build upon his strong 2021 campaign where he made 100 tackles including a sack while intercepting four passes, deflecting four others and forcing a fumble.

Wilson (shoulder) will not take part in OTAs but anticipates being healthy for training camp, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Wilson underwent a shoulder procedure in late February to clean up a torn labrum suffered in Week 13 of the 2021 campaign and he appears to be progressing as planned. Assuming he continues on that track, Wilson should resume his duties as the starting weakside linebacker in 2022.

Wilson recently underwent successful surgery to address a torn labrum in his shoulder, ESPN's Ben Baby reports.

Last week's procedure took care of an injury that the starting linebacker sustained in Week 13 of the 2021 campaign. Though Wilson -- who is signed by Cincinnati through 2023 -- was able to return to action in Week 17 and was a key cog in the team's extended playoff run, his labrum issue ultimately required a procedure. With that in mind, a full recovery is expected for the 25-year-old, who racked up fantasy-worthy totals of 100 tackles and four picks over the course of 13 games this past season.

Wilson notched 100 tackles (57 solo), one sack, four pass breakups, four interceptions and one forced fumble across 13 appearances in 2021.

Wilson made a notable jump in his sophomore season, despite missing four contests due to a combination of injuries and rest after clinching a postseason berth. The 2020 third-round pick could be a breakout candidate worth monitoring in IDP formats ahead of the 2022 season.

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Browns, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Wilson will get the day off, as the Bengals have a playoff spot locked up and don't have much wiggle room to move seeding wise. In his absence, Clay Johnston will likely see extra opportunity against the Browns.

Wilson had eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 34-31 win over the Chiefs.

Wilson has now reached the 100-tackle mark for the first time in his young career, while also having racked up one sack, four pass breakups and four interceptions through 13 appearances. Despite coming off a three-game absence streak due to a shoulder injury, Wilson played 100 percent of defensive snaps Week 17.

Wilson (shoulder) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Coach Zac Taylor said early in the week that it was "very doubtful" that Wilson would be able to play in Week 17, but the linebacker was a full participant in practice all week. As a result, the 25-year-old will be able to suit up Sunday following his three-game absence.

Wilson (shoulder) was a full practice participant Wednesday, and coach Zac Taylor said he's "a little more optimistic" regarding Wilson's outlook for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, WKRC 2 News reports.

Taylor said Monday it was "very doubtful" Wilson is able to play this weekend, but the linebacker's shoulder injury has apparently showed significant improvement over the past couple days. It's good news for the Bengals, who will likely be without middle linebacker Germaine Pratt (undisclosed) after he was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Coach Zac Taylor said Monday it's "very doubtful" Wilson (shoulder) plays Sunday against the Chiefs, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Wilson has missed the past two games after suffering a dislocated shoulder Week 13, and he's expected to sit out his third straight contest this weekend. Germaine Pratt and Markus Bailey should continue to see most of the reps at linebacker for Cincinnati.

Wilson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Coach Zac Taylor said earlier in the week it was unlikely Wilson would play this weekend, and the linebacker has now been officially ruled out. Keandre Jones is likely the next man up for the Bengals, as previous replacement Joe Bachie is also out with a torn ACL.

Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Wilson (shoulder) is not expected to play Sunday against the Ravens, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson has missed back-to-back games after dislocating his right shoulder during the team's Week 12 loss to the Chargers. Joe Bachie, who has replaced Wilson during his injury, suffered a torn ACL in Week 15. So, with both Wilson and Bachie expected to be sidelined, Keandre Jones will likely be the next man up for the Bengals' defense.

Wilson (shoulder) won't play Sunday against the Broncos, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Wilson is expected to miss his second straight game after dislocating his right shoulder during the team's Week 12 loss to the Chargers. In his absence, Joe Bachie is expected to continue seeing increased snaps.

Wilson sustained a dislocated shoulder in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Wilson was removed from Sunday's matchup in the first half, and he's expected to miss additional time due to the injury. While the linebacker will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of the issue, Joe Bachie could step into a starting role if Wilson is ultimately sidelined.

Wilson (shoulder) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Wilson suffered the shoulder injury on punt coverage in the first half. He's been a key member of Cincinnati's defense this season, and his absence will force Joe Bachie into a bigger role.

Wilson (shoulder) will not return Sunday against the Chargers.

Wilson suffered the injury on punt coverage filling in for Markus Bailey, who left early with a shoulder injury of his own. With Wilson out the Bengals' linebacker unit takes a big hit that Joe Bachie will look to soften, as he takes on a larger role.

Wilson is doubtful to return after suffering a right shoulder injury in Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Wilson suffered the injury on punt coverage after being forced into special teams duty due to an injury that Markus Bailey (shoulder) suffered earlier in the game. His absence will leave the Bengals without a key member of their defense, as Wilson has recorded at least six tackles in all but one game on the campaign.

Wilson recorded six tackles, all solo, in the Bengals' 41-10 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

Wilson's tackle total matched his second lowest output of the season. That probably speaks more to the game then Wilson's effort, as the Steelers' offense had trouble staying on the field and in the game. Wilson only played 37 defensive snaps, which was his lowest on the season. He'll look to get back to stuffing the box score Sunday against the Chargers.

Wilson registered 12 tackles (10 solo) during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Jets.

Wilson registered his third double-digit tackle outing of the season Sunday. The 25-year-old linebacker now has 72 tackles, four pass deflections and four interceptions through the Bengals' first eight games of the season. As long as he continues to play the majority of Cincinnati's defensie snaps, Wilson will likely remain a very solid IDP option moving forward.

Wilson notched seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's win over the Ravens.

Wilson tied Jessie Bates with a team-high seven tackles Sunday, and he now has 60 total tackles through the first seven games of the season. The second-year linebacker is having a career year and will likely remain a viable option in IDP leagues as long as he continues to play the majority of the Bengals' defensive snaps.

Wilson notched six tackles (five solo), one pass deflection and one interception during Sunday's win over the Lions.

Wilson now has 53 tackles, four interceptions and one sack through the first six weeks of the season. The 25-year-old linebacker has been a solid IDP producer this season and will likely have a good shot at another double-digit tackle outing against the Ravens' run-heavy offense in Week 7.

Wilson totaled 10 tackles (four solo), a sack and a tackle for loss in Thursday's 24-21 win over the Jaguars.

Wilson hit his season average in tackles on the nose and now has 40 through four games to go with three interceptions and a sack. The second-year linebacker has been among the league's top defensive performers so far, and he played all 56 of Cincinnati's defensive snaps in this one, so the Bengals certainly realize how important Wilson is to their defense.

Wilson produced 14 tackles (six solo), two pass breakups and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Steelers.

Wilson is breaking out in the IDP world, as he has accrued 30 tackles (12 solo), three pass breakups and three interceptions through three games. The 2020 third-round pick is handling a significant snap share -- more than 82 percent each week -- so he's capable of keeping his tackling numbers up in the long term.

Wilson totaled nine tackles (three solo), one interception and one pass deflection during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bears.

Wilson appears to be ready for a bigger role in his second season in the NFL. He has already accumulated 16 tackles through the first two games after registering 33 total tackles during his rookie season. The 25-year-old linebacker should have a stiffer test Sunday as the Bengals take on the Steelers.

Wilson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

The rookie third-round pick will be sidelined for the third straight game to end the season as he continues to deal with the ankle injury. Wilson appeared in 12 games and totaled 33 tackles (23 solo), one sack and two interceptions for the Bengals in 2020.

Wilson (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson will miss a second consecutive contest as he continues to deal with an ankle issue. With the rookie unavailable, Markus Bailey could handle an increased role for Cincinnati.

Coach Zac Taylor said Saturday that Wilson (foot) won't play against the Steelers on Monday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Wilson's foot injury will force him to miss his second game of the season. The rookie third-round pick usually plays about half of the snaps on defense, and his absence could allow fellow rookie Markus Bailey to handle a larger role.

Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Wilson is battling a foot injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson typically plays about half of the snaps on defense, but it appears Wilson tried playing through the injury in Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Cowboys, as he logged a season-low 16 percent snap share. He'll likely handle limited practice reps during the week leading up to next Monday's matchup against Pittsburgh.

Wilson (concussion) returned to full practice participation Thursday after being limited the preceding session, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

The rookie from Wyoming had received between 24 and 32 percent of the defensive snaps Weeks 1, 2 and 3, but he was ruled out for Cincinnati's latest game against the Jaguars. Now clear of the NFL's concussion protocol, Wilson is trending towards his fourth NFL appearance in a Sunday afternoon matchup against Baltimore's No. 7 scoring offense.

Wilson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Wilson was unable to clear the concussion protocol, paving the way for an increased role for Akeem Davis-Gaither against the Jaguars. The linebacker's next chance to play will come against Baltimore in Week 5, but Wilson will need to clear concussion protocol before he can think about suiting up.

Wilson had three tackles on 22 defensive snaps in his debut, playing mostly on third down, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Wilson and fellow rookie Akeem Davis-Gaither were asked to do a lot of work in pass coverage, with mixed results. Hunter Harvey had five catches on eight targets for 73 yards, but Austin Ekeler had just one catch for three yards. That could also be a function of new Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor choosing to pull it down and run instead of dumping it off to Ekeler, but in the past the Bengals linebackers were carved up by opposing running backs and tight ends in the passing game.
