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

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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 for 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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
