Tupou was elevated from the practice squad for Monday's game against the Chargers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. Tupou's bump up to the active roster could signal that Travis Jones (ankle) is unlikely to play, or at least isn't healthy enough to log a usual workload. The former suited up for the Ravens in Week 10 and 11, totaling 45 snaps on defense and two solo tackles.

Tupou signed a contract with the Ravens on Tuesday. Tupou has spent the last six seasons with the Bengals, but the team didn't re-sign the veteran, opening up the opportunity for him to sign with the AFC North rival. The 30-year-old will likely compete for a depth role on the interior of the defensive line in Baltimore.
-
Tupou (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. The 29-year-old likely suffered a shoulder injury during the Bengals' Week 8 win over the 49ers, and he was held out of practice all week, so it's no surprise that he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest. With Tupou missing time, Zachary Carter is expected to see an increased workload on Cincinnati's defensive line.
-
Tupou (calf) participated fully at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game versus Kansas City, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. After missing the last five games with a calf injury, Tupou finally appears to be on track to play again in Week 13. With DJ Reader (ankle) still listed as questionable for Sunday, Tupou could be in line for a major role just as soon as he's back.
-
Tupou (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports. Tupou will now miss his fifth straight contest as a result of a calf injury he suffered back in Week 6 in New Orleans. Zachary Carter should continue handling more defensive tackle reps behind starters DJ Reader and B.J. Hill.
