Bynes reverted to Baltimore's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Bynes was elevated from the practice squad as a COVID-19 replacement and totaled four tackles while playing 14 defensive snaps. The 32-year-old could be promoted again for Week 4 depending how long the Ravens are missing players due to the COVID protocols.

Bynes will join the Ravens' active roster for Sunday's matchup with the Lions as a COVID-19 replacement, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Ravens currently have four players dealing with COVID-19 protocols, so Bynes will join the active roster as one of four replacement players. The 32-year-old linebacker played in all 16 games for the Bengals last year and notched 99 total tackles. It's unclear how big his role will be in Sunday's contest against the Lions.

The Panthers released Bynes (foot) on Tuesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
After signing a one-year deal with the Panthers early in August, the 32-year-old linebacker was let go of before even playing a snap in Carolina. Last season, the veteran proved he still has more left in his tank, as he started all 16 games for the Bengals and he recorded 99 tackles and one sack.

Bynes (foot) left Tuesday's practice on a cart, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bynes signed a one-year deal with the Panthers this offseason after registering a career-high 99 tackles with Cincinnati in 2020. It is unclear how much time he may miss. When healthy, the 31-year-old will provide depth to a revamped linebacker group in Carolina.

Bynes signed a one-year deal with the Panthers on Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bynes started all 16 games for the Bengals last season, racking up 99 tackles and one sack. The 31-year old should add much needed depth to a fairly weak linebacking core.

Bynes had nine tackles (four solo) and one fumble recovery during Monday's 27-17 win over the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
The nine tackles set a season high for the 31-year-old, and the fumble recovery is also his first involvement in a turnover this year. Bynes has 86 tackles (44 solo), one sack and two passes defensed through 14 games this season.

Bynes posted seven tackles -- one for a loss -- in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Bynes doesn't handle a full workload on the Bengals defense. In fact, he's only played more than 73 percent of the defensive snaps once this season. However, he's recorded at least seven tackles in five of seven outings. The veteran carries a solid floor for IDP purposes, but he hasn't proved that he has a week-winning performance in his arsenal.

Bynes had eight tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old tied his season high with eight tackles, the third time he's done so, and led the defense in the process. Bynes has 35 tackles (14 solo) and one sack through five games.

Bynes recorded eight tackles (three solo) in Thursday's 35-30 loss to the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Bynes racked up eight tackles for a second consecutive game to open his season. The linebacker's solid effort wasn't enough to slow down Cleveland's running game, however, as Nick Chubb rumbled for two touchdowns on the ground while Kareem Hunt scored once as a runner and once as a receiver. With teams likely to keep attacking Cincinnati on the ground, Bynes should continue to post high tackle totals moving forward.

Bynes had eight tackles in Sunday's loss to the Chargers and also was responsible for many of the defensive calls in early downs, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bynes and Germaine Pratt logged most of the linebacker snaps and had more of the tackles against the run on Sunday, as the Bengals typically rolled with a 4-2-5 formation rather than a traditional 4-3. Bynes frequently came out on passing downs, however.
