The Cincinnati Bengals placed cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt on injured reserve on Friday, and the former Park Crossing High School standout likely won’t be back in 2025.
Taylor-Britt sustained a foot injury in the Bengals’ 34-12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
“I would say surgery’s likely right now with a Lisfranc injury,” Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor said on Monday, “so obviously that will take him out.”
NFL rules require players placed on injured reserve to miss at least four games. The Bengals have seven games remaining on their regular-season schedule.
Taylor-Britt could be headed toward free agency in March. He is in the final season of his four-year, $5.953 million rookie contract as a second-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft.
After starting 38 regular-season games and three playoff contests in his first three seasons with the Bengals, Taylor-Britt had started two of his eight appearances in the 2025 season and played 61.3 percent of Cincinnati’s defensive snaps this season.
