  • Bengals' Akeem Davis-Gaither: Team-high 13 tackles vs. Steelers

    Davis-Gaither tallied 13 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers.

    Davis-Gaither got the start at linebacker Sunday due to Bengals' leading tackler Logan Wilson being sidelined with a knee injury. Davis-Gaither took advantage of the opportunity, tying Germaine Pratt for most tackles on the team while playing a season-high 65 defensive snaps. Davis-Gaither would be in line to start at linebacker in Week 14 against the Cowboys on Monday, Dec. 9 if Wilson was unable to progress through his recovery.

  • Bengals' Akeem Davis-Gaither: Starting sans Wilson

    Davis-Gaither will start Sunday's game against the Steelers, NFL reporter Charlie Goldsmith reports.

    With the Bengals' leading tackler, Logan Wilson (knee), sidelined, Davis-Gaither will make his first start of the season. He's played a consistent, limited role thus far and logged a season-high 22 defensive snaps against the Panthers in Week 4. In 2022, Davis-Gaither posted a career-high 13 tackles across 53 defensive snaps against the Jets and had another double-digit tackle tally that same season, so he's proven worthy of IDP consideration with extended action before.
