EDGE Analysis

Atkins missed Sunday's loss to the Steelers because of personal reasons, but now the eight-time Pro Bowler is back in the mix for Cincinnati's defensive line. He was sidelined for the first quarter of the regular season because of a shoulder injury, and thus far he has only received 17 defensive snaps per game over his four appearances. Atkins remains without a sack or a start, after registering 4.5 sacks in 16 appearances (with 14 starts) in 2019.
