EDGE Analysis

Knight was one of the few bright spots in a tough season for Cincinnati's defense. The 2025 second-round draft pick appeared in every game of his rookie regular season and started 14 while showcasing a promising mix of run stopping and coverage ability. He'll likely reprise his role as the starting weakside linebacker in 2026, as the Bengals have plenty of other holes to fill on defense.

Knight notched five tackles (one solo) in a 37-14 victory against the Bengals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Knight's five stops were good for third-most on Cincinnati. The rookie linebacker has been quite consistent of late with between four and six tackles in each of his past five contests. With his tackle tally Sunday, Knight surpassed the triple-digit mark for the campaign, as he's up to 103 stops (including 2.0 sacks) along with six defensed passes (including two pickoffs) over 16 games.
