Wilson was claimed off waivers by the Bengals on Tuesday.
Wilson will head to Cincinnati after being waived by the Patriots on Monday. With DJ Turner (collarbone) and Dax Hill (knee) both on injured reserve, Wilson will likely operate in a significant role in the Bengals' secondary. Over 10 games with the Patriots this season, Wilson compiled 15 total tackles (eight solo) and a pass defensed.

Bengals' DJ Turner: Broken collarbone confirmed
Rotowire
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor confirmed Tuesday that Turner sustained a fractured clavicle during Sunday's loss to the Chargers and will be placed on injured reserve, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
Just as the Bengals had feared, Turner suffered a significant injury in the Week 11 loss, and there's a good chance he'll miss the remainder of the season as a result. The loss of Turner will likely open up a starting spot in the secondary for rookie fifth-rounder Josh Newton. Expect the Bengals to formally place Turner on IR later this week.

Bengals' DJ Turner: Likely out for season
Rotowire
Turner is feared to have sustained a fractured clavicle in Sunday's game against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The 2023 second-rounder was settling into a starting role at cornerback, but now it looks like his second season is probably going to get cut short. If that ends up being the case, rookie fifth-rounder Josh Newton would figure to step up as a starter.

Bengals' Sheldon Rankins: No go for SNF
Rotowire
Rankins (illness) is inactive for Sunday Night Football versus the Chargers.
Rankins popped up on the injury report Sunday with an illness and he'll ultimately be forced to miss the contest as a result. In his absence, B.J. Hill and McKinnley Jackson will likely handle the bulk of snaps at defensive tackle against Los Angeles.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: All set for SNF

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Ready to go for SNF
Rotowire
Hendrickson (neck/personal) is active for Sunday night's matchup with the Chargers.
Hendrickson was questionable for the contest due to a neck injury as well as a personal matter that he was dealing with this week. The defensive end leads the NFL with 11.0 sacks this season and he'll look to add to his total against Los Angeles.

Bengals' Sheldon Rankins: Added to injury report with illness
Rotowire
Rankins is questionable to suit up Sunday night versus the Chargers due to an illness.
Rankins appears to have picked up an illness during the weekend, as he wasn't on the Bengals' injury report following the team's final practice Friday. The timing doesn't bode well for the defensive tackle's chance of suiting up Sunday, though it's not clear how under the weather Rankins is feeling. If he's unable to suit up against the Chargers, rookie McKinnley Jackson could see more than his usual allotment of defensive snaps.

Bengals' Joe Bachie: Won't suit up in Week 11
Rotowire
Bachie (hip) was downgraded to out for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.
Bachie was initially deemed doubtful heading into the weekend, but he has since been ruled out for Sunday's contest. He's played a rotational role on defense throughout the campaign, topping out at seven defense snaps Week 9. As such, Bachie's absence Sunday will primarily impact the Bengals' special-teams unit.

Bengals' Joe Bachie: Doubtful for Sunday
Rotowire
Bachie (hip) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Bachie appears to have sustained a hip injury in Cincinnati's Week 10 loss to the Ravens, and he's likely a longshot to play Sunday after logging three consecutive DNPs during the Bengals' week of practice. Undrafted rookie Maema Njongmeta could see increased work on Cincinnati's defense as a rotational linebacker if Bachie is sidelined in Week 11 as expected.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Expected to play Sunday night
Rotowire
Hendrickson (neck/personal) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Chargers, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
While Hendrickson will not travel with the team to Los Angeles, he's expected to fly out on his own and meet the team, as he's dealing with a personal matter. The NFL's sack leader with 11, Hendrickson's expected availability will be a boost for Cincinnati as it tries to get on track and enter the playoff mix.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: Draws questionable tag
Rotowire
Hill (knee) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Chargers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Hill returned to practice Thursday after logging a DNP on Wednesday. He closed the week with a pair of limited sessions, putting Hill on track to potentially give it a go versus Los Angeles. On the season, Hill has 27 tackles (13 solo), including two TFLs, and four pass deflections.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Questionable for Week 11
Rotowire
Hendrickson (neck) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Chargers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Hendrickson has been dealing with the neck injury for parts of most of the season, but he still leads the league with 11.0 sacks. He was limited in Wednesday's practice this week before logging back-to-back DNPs on Thursday and Friday ahead of his questionable tag. The veteran edge rusher has yet to miss a game this season.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: Logs limited practice in return
Rotowire
Hill (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Hill was unable to practice Wednesday due to a knee issue that he may have sustained during the Bengals' Week 10 loss to the Ravens. The veteran defensive tackle has managed to play through multiple injuries this season, so if he's able to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday, he'll likely be able to suit up against the Chargers on Sunday.

Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt: Getting torched
Rotowire
Taylor-Britt was targeted eight times against the Ravens in Week 10, giving up seven catches for 116 yards and three touchdowns, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
One of those three scores was Tylan Wallace's long touchdown that started as a five-yard out where Taylor-Britt missed the tackle. Taylor-Britt's failures against the Ravens are emblematic of both his struggles this season and the Bengals' overall shortcomings defensively. He was supposed to be their best corner but has regressed instead. At least some small portion of his struggles can be attributed to the Bengals' poor pass rush that is forcing him to maintain coverage longer, but by almost any metric, he's also played worse on his own.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: Misses practice with knee injury
Rotowire
Hill didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
The knee issue is a new one for the veteran defensive tackle, who was tending to a rib injury ahead of last Thursday's loss to the Ravens. Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson would be next up for snaps if Hill needs to sit out Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: Good to go vs. Baltimore
Rotowire
Hill (ribs) is not on the Bengals' inactive list for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.
Hill injured his ribs during Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders. He was able to log a limited practice Wednesday, and despite operating on a short week, Hill will suit up for Thursday's AFC North showdown. The 2018 third-round pick has logged 23 tackles (10 solo) and four pass breakups over seven regular-season games.
