Questionable for Sunday
Pratt (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Pratt popped up on Cincinnati's injury report late in the week with an illness, and he was unable to practice Friday. The veteran linebacker has started all 10 of the Bengals' games thus far, logging 71 total tackles, including five tackles for loss and one sack.

Pratt tallied a team-high 11 tackles (three solo) and an interception in the 34-20 victory over the Cardinals in Week 5.
Analysis: Pratt's tackle total marked his second highest of the season through five games, and the pick was his first of the year. He had just three interceptions total through four seasons and is halfway to the career-high he set in 2022. The 27-year-old remains a reliable defender, as he saw the field for 53 snaps (93 percent). His lowest percentage this season was 88 in Week 2.

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.

Pratt will become an unrestricted free agent in the spring.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
