News

  • Another strong performance Sunday

    Pratt recorded nine tackles in Sunday's 27-24 loss versus the Ravens.

    Analysis: In a game where Baltimore ran the ball 37 times, Pratt made good on his opportunities, improving his season-long tackle total to 20 after just two games. He's easily on track to post 100-plus tackles for the first time in his career ahead of Week 3 versus the Rams.

  • Productive in blowout loss

    Pratt recorded 11 tackles, including a sack, and a forced fumble in Sunday's 24-3 loss at Cleveland.

    Analysis: He was also heavily involved in terms of snap count (64), second only to Logan Wilson among Cincinnati linebackers. His forced fumble came in his team's own red zone when the game was still scoreless in the first quarter, but nothing Pratt could have done would have saved the Bengals in Week 1. He'll continue his quest for his first 100-tackle season versus Baltimore in Week 2.

  • Staying in Cincinnati

    Pratt and the Bengals came to terms Monday on a three-year, $21 million contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: One of the Bengals' key free agents, Pratt is a great keep for the defense. He's started 54 games since being taken in the third round of the 2019 Draft. Pratt registered 99 tackles and a pair of interceptions across 15 starts last season.

  • Notches career-high 99 stops in '22

    Pratt finished the regular season with 99 tackles, two interceptions, a sack and 10 passes defended over 15 appearances. He added 20 tackles and three pass breakups across the Bengals' three postseason games.

    Analysis: According to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, Pratt expressed his frustration with getting subbed out for some third downs during this past Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game, but the fourth-year linebacker still acknowledged that he hopes to return to Cincinnati in 2023. Pratt will become an unrestricted free agent in the spring.

  • Nabs late INT

    Pratt recorded nine tackles (two solo) and two passes defended, including one interception, in Sunday's 34-23 win over Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Pratt notched his second interception of the season, plucking a deflected pass out of the air just before it hit the turf early in the fourth quarter. The 250-pound linebacker also continued to play an important role in run defense alongside Cincinnati's leading tackler Logan Wilson, who paced the team with 15 tackles Sunday. Pratt has now recorded a career-high 92 tackles and seven passes defended this season, and he's actually tied with defensive backs Vonn Bell, Jessie Bates and Eli Apple…read more

  • Forces key fumble

    Pratt forced and recovered a fumble from the Chiefs' Travis Kelce in the Bengals' win on Sunday for the only turnover of the game.

    Analysis: Overall, Pratt had just four tackles for his second-lowest output of the season, but he seems to have a knack for coming up big at the right time. The Bengals trailed by four at the time, and they drove for the eventual game-winning touchdown following the turnover.

  • Eights stops in win

    Pratt recorded eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 37-30 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Pratt tied weakside linebacker Logan Wilson for the Bengals' second-most tackles against Pittsburgh, as he logged his sixth outing with at least eight stops in 2022. Over nine games, the middle linebacker has recorded 68 stops (35 solo), one sack, four passes defended and one interception, and he should have a chance to set a new career high in stops if he can remain healthy moving forward this season.

  • Nine tackles in MNF

    Pratt recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Monday's 32-13 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old tied defensive end Sam Hubbard (finger) for the team's second-most tackles despite the return of starting linebacker Logan Wilson, who was sidelined with a shoulder injury Week 7. Pratt has recorded 59 tackles (29 solo), one sack and three passes defended over seven games in 2022, and he should set a new career high in tackles barring any injuries moving forward. He'll look to continue this consistent play against the Panthers on Sunday.

  • Six tackles in victory

    Pratt recorded six tackles (two solo) in the Bengals' 35-17 Week 8 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Operating without Logan Wilson (shoulder) at starting interior linebacker, Pratt was able to register six tackles in Sunday's victory. The 26-year-old played a season-high 98 percent of the defensive snaps in the contest, something that could be replicated in Week 8 against Cleveland if Wilson is unable to go again.

  • Game-high 14 stops in win

    Pratt recorded 14 tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 30-26 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: In 58 out of a possible 72 defensive snaps (81 percent), Pratt was able to lead both sides in tackling in Week 6 with 14. He now has 44 stops, one sack and three passes defensed though five games played in 2022, and he'll look to replicate a similar performance in Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

  • Team-high nine stops in win

    Pratt recorded nine tackles (six solo) during Thursday's 27-15 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Pratt missed the team's Week 3 win over the Jets and, despite logging two full practices, was still listed as questionable for Thursday night's matchup. The linebacker was eventually deemed available and logged a team-high nine stops while playing just 65 percent of the team's defensive snaps. Through three appearances, the 2019 third-round pick has totaled 22 stops and one pass defense.

  • Active for TNF

    Pratt (knee) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Pratt missed the Week 3 contest against the Jets with a knee injury, but he's now expected to suit up Thursday against Miami. Expect the 250-pound linebacker to reclaim his usual starting role in the middle of Cincinnati's defense in Week 4.

  • Questionable for TNF

    Pratt (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Pratt was listed as limited Monday but upgraded to a full participant Tuesday and Wednesday, but he's still iffy for Thursday night's matchup. The 2019 third-round pick missed the team's Week 3 win over the Jets with the same injury, so it appears like Cincinnati is merely being cautious with its starting linebacker. If available, it's possible Pratt operates on a snap count on account of the knee injury.

  • Cleared from injury report

    Pratt (knee) was a full participant in practice Tuesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Pratt missed the team's Week 3 win over the Jets with the injury, then was a limited participant in Monday's practice estimate. The move to full participation Tuesday should put Pratt on the field Thursday against the Dolphins, where he'll likely resume his role at middle linebacker.

  • Question mark for Thursday

    Pratt (knee) was limited on the Bengals' estimated practice report Monday.

    Analysis: Pratt was inactive for the team's 27-12 win over the Jets on Sunday. If he's still not ready to return Thursday against the Dolphins, it'll be a blow to the Bengals' linebacker corps and will likely lead to extra opportunity for Akeem Davis-Gaither.

  • Out Sunday

    Pratt (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Jets, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pratt was considered doubtful heading into Sunday, so his inability to suit up is not a surprise. In his absence, Markus Baily should step into a larger role. Pratt will work to return in time for Thursday's contest against the Dolphins.

  • Doubtful to play in Week 3

    Pratt (knee) is doubtful to play in Sunday's Week 3 matchup with the Jets, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pratt is nursing a knee injury and isn't expected to be ready to go Sunday at New York. If he's unavailable, Akeem Davis-Gaither and Markus Bailey are likely to fill in for Pratt at interior linebacker in Week 3.

  • Officially clears protocols

    Pratt (illness) officially cleared the NFL's COVID-19 protocols Monday and is good to go for Week 18, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pratt was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday in anticipation he'd play in Week 17, but he still tested positive Sunday morning and was ultimately downgraded to out. However, he has now cleared protocols after being sidelined for five days and will be available for the team's Week 18 showdown with the Browns. In his last four appearances, Pratt has totaled 39 tackles, one forced fumble and half a sack.

  • Not available Sunday

    The Bengals downgraded Pratt (COVID-19 protocols) to out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: According to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, Pratt tested negative for the virus Saturday and was reinstated from the reserve/COVID-19 list later that day in anticipation that he would clear the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol Sunday morning. However, Dehner relays that Pratt's second test didn't return negative, leaving him unavailable to play Sunday. Logan Wilson and Markus Bailey are expected to serve as Cincinnati's primary linebackers while the team typically keeps four defensive…read more

  • Off reserve/COVID-19 list

    Pratt (undisclosed) was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pratt has developed into an integral part of the emerging Bengals defense and Saturday's designation should afford him the chance to build upon his recent streak of positive play. The middle linebacker leads the team with 39 tackles combined over the last four weeks.

  • Placed on COVID-19 list

    Pratt (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Pratt has played every single defensive snap over the last three games, so his potential absence would be a huge blow to the Bengals' defense. If he's unable to clear protocols ahead of the team's Week 17 contest against the Chiefs, then Keandre Jones and Austin Calitro would be likely candidates to fill the potential void at middle linebacker.

  • Another nine-tackle outing

    Pratt had nine tackles (four solo) and one pass breakup during Sunday's overtime loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Pratt has racked up 70 total tackles through 13 appearances this season, to go with two pass breakups, an interception and two forced fumbles. He also has two fumble recoveries. Next on deck, the starting linebacker will travel to Denver for Week 15. He's played 95-plus percent of defensive snaps in back-to-back contests.

  • Strong impact in loss

    Pratt had nine tackles (three solo), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery during Sunday's 41-22 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Pratt played all but two defensive snaps and had his most productive game of the season Sunday. The 2019 third-round pick averages just over five tackles per contest and has limited IDP appeal.

  • Eight tackles in Thursday's win

    Pratt had eight tackles (five solo) and a tackle for loss in Thursday's 24-21 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Pratt picked up just one tackle against the Bears in Week 2, but he has produced either seven or eight tackles in each of the Bengals' other three games. The 2019 third-round pick played a season-high 79 percent of Cincinnati's defensive snaps in this one after hovering between 43 and 60 percent in each of the team's first three games. That extra usage can be attributed to facing a run-heavy Jaguars offense, and Pratt's workload will likely decrease against more pass-heavy teams.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Pratt tallied 12 tackles to lead the team in Week 1 against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Pratt vacuumed up plenty of tackles from his linebacker role. While none were particularly explosive, he logged 54 snaps on defense in addition to 16 on special teams. He'll continue to play a key role in multiple facets of the game in Week 2 against Cleveland.

    Published: Mon, Sep 14 at 5:50pm by Rotowire.com

  • Added competition

    The Bengals drafted three linebackers (Logan Wilson, Akeem Davis-Gaither, and Markus Bailey) in the 2020 NFL Draft, meaning that Pratt will face competition for playing time despite finishing strong at the end of 2019.

    Analysis: Pratt didn't start playing on every down until Week 11, but from that point on he notched 53 of his 76 tackles on the season. He's more likely to retain a starting spot than fellow holdovers Jordan Evans and Hardy Nickerson, but he's on notice to produce right away.

  • Manages 76 stops as a rookie

    Pratt notched 76 tackles (50 solo) across 16 regular-season contests in 2019.

    Analysis: Pratt began the 2019 season in a depth role, but he began regularly handling 60-plus percent of defensive snaps following Cincinnati's Week 9 bye. Given his strong play down the stretch, the 2019 third-round pick stands a fair chance of opening the 2020 season with IDP value.

  • Makes two tackles for loss

    Pratt was credited with 11 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 38-35 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: Pratt has now logged double-digit stops in back-to-back games after not having done so prior to Week 15. He'll look to close out the season strong at home Week 17 against the Browns.

  • Paces squad in stops

    Pratt made nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Pratt led the team in stops while posting a career high in the process. The rookie third-round pick also logged 49 defensive snaps -- his highest mark of the season. Despite his limited workload this year, Pratt has accrued 58 tackles. He's worth keeping in mind for IDP formats in 2020.

  • Makes career-high eight tackles

    Pratt notched a career-high eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Pratt, who has assumed starting middle linebacker duties, has racked up 14 total tackles over the past two weeks. The rookie will look to maintain his recent momentum in Week 13 against the Jets.

  • Set for starting role

    Pratt will draw the start at middle linebacker for Sunday's tilt against the Raiders, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pratt's opportunity to slot into the starting lineup comes following Cincinnati's decision to part ways with Preston Brown. The rookie third-round pick played 23 snaps on defense (50 percent) in Week 10's loss to the Ravens, during which he notched four tackles (three solo). The winless Bengals will likely opt to take the final seven games of the regular season to evaluate what they have in Pratt and weigh his potential as a starter for 2020 and beyond.
