Bentley registered 12 tackles (nine solo) in Saturday's 22-18 defeat against the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Bentley posted at least 10 tackles for the sixth game this season and the third time in the last three weeks. The 26-year-old has seen prominent playing time in all but one game this season, though he played every defensive snap for the first time in Week 16. The linebacker also notched one of his season-high 12 tackles while playing on special teams Saturday, and his 109 tackles this season is 42 more than New England's next closest defender, Kyle Dugger. Expect Bentley to continue serving as the team's top tackler versus Miami this coming Sunday.

Bentley racked up 10 tackles, including a sack, in Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Raiders.

Bentley led the Patriots in tackles in the contest, finishing with 10 for the second straight week. He's hit that exact mark on five different occasions this season and leads New England with 97 total stops in 14 games. Bentley is well on pace to surpass the career-best mark of 109 tackles that he recorded last year. He's already collected a career-high three sacks in 2022.

EDGE Analysis

The 255-pound linebacker also notched five stops against Arizona's running backs, even though the team would up with just 22 total rushes to 41 combined passing attempts. Bentley now has now accumulated 87 tackles while also playing at least 70 percent of defensive snaps in all but three of New England's games this season. He should take on a big role Week 15 against a Las Vegas offense that ranks 10th in rushing yards per game (128.5).

EDGE Analysis

Bentley finished as the Patriots leading tackler and accounted for one of the team's nine sacks against Indianapolis. The inside linebacker now leads New England with 54 stops (22 solo) through the first nine games of the season, and he should have a chance to set a new career high in this category if remains healthy moving forward.

EDGE Analysis

Bentley collected double-digit tackles for the second time this season, while playing a season high 95 percent of the team's defensive snaps.

Bentley (back) was able to return to the field during Sunday's game against the Steelers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bentley's ability to get back on the field appears to indicate that he sustained nothing more than a minor back issue earlier Sunday. Nevertheless, his status will be worth monitoring on New England's first injury report of Week 3 this coming Wednesday.

Bentley (back) was ruled questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Bentley ultimately was able to suit up versus Pittsburgh after he suffered a toe injury Week 1, but he now appears to have sustained a new unspecified back injury Sunday. The 26-year-old finished as New England's leading tackler (109) in 2021, so Jahlani Tavai and Mack Wilson likely will have to fill prominent roles at inside linebacker for the time being.
