Bengals' Akeem Davis-Gaither: Leads team in tackles again
Davis-Gaither recorded eight tackles (five solo) and a pass breakup in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.
Davis-Gaither, who continues to start in place of the injured Logan Wilson (knee), also led the Bengals in tackles, with 13 (five solo), in the team's Week 13 loss to the Steelers. The linebacker played on 98 percent and 88 percent of the defensive snaps, respectively, in those two games, by far his highest snap counts of the season. Wilson is on injured reserve and likely out for the season, so Davis-Gaither should get to continue his opportunity over the campaign's final month.

Bengals' Akeem Davis-Gaither: Starting sans Wilson
Davis-Gaither will start Sunday's game against the Steelers, NFL reporter Charlie Goldsmith reports.
With the Bengals' leading tackler, Logan Wilson (knee), sidelined, Davis-Gaither will make his first start of the season. He's played a consistent, limited role thus far and logged a season-high 22 defensive snaps against the Panthers in Week 4. In 2022, Davis-Gaither posted a career-high 13 tackles across 53 defensive snaps against the Jets and had another double-digit tackle tally that same season, so he's proven worthy of IDP consideration with extended action before.
