Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt: Will be available Saturday
Rotowire
Taylor-Britt (shoulder) has been ruled active for Saturday's game against the Patriots.
Taylor-Britt was forced out with a shoulder injury during Cincinnati's Week 15 win over the Buccaneers, and he started Week 16 prep with back-to-back limited practices. He was able to ramp back up to full participation in Thursday's sessions, so he should retain a starting role alongside Eli Apple and Mike Hilton on Saturday.

Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt: Leads Bengals in tackles
Rotowire
Taylor-Britt led the Bengals with 12 tackles in Sunday's win over the Steelers.
It's not always a good sign when your corner leads the team in tackles, as it could either mean that he was getting successfully targeted frequently, or that the front seven was struggling against the run. Both of those factors were present, but Taylor-Britt was also very effective when given a chance to make a stop.

Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt: Enters starting role
Rotowire
Taylor-Britt will be stepping into a starting role with Chidobe Awuzie now out for the season, after he suffered a torn ACL in Monday's loss to the Browns, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Taylor-Britt was the team's second round selection in the 2022 Draft, but he didn't make his debut until Week 7 against the falcons, as he started the season on IR due to an abdomen issue. He's played a significant role in the Bengals secondary since being activated to the 53-man roster, seeing 60 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 7, then 100 percent of the defensive snaps Monday against the Browns, with Eli Apple (hamstring) out, and recorded five tackles (four solo).
