Bengals' Brandon Wilson: Won't return in 2022
Wilson (knee) has reverted to the Bengals' reserve/PUP list for the remainder of the 2022 season, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Wilson opened the regular season on the reserve/PUP list while recovering from a torn ACL suffered in Week 9 of the 2021 season, and he was designated to return to practice Nov. 14. However, he was not restored to the active roster within his 21-day return window, so he will now remain on the PUP list for the remainder of the 2022 campaign. Wilson will now shift his focus toward recovering before he hits free agency this coming offseason. The strong safety recorded 291 kick return yards before tearing his ACL last season, and his absence should leave Chris Evans and Trent Taylor to continue handling kick returns for Cincinnati moving forward.

Bengals' Brandon Wilson: Sticks with Bengals
Wilson agreed Tuesday with the Bengals on a two-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

He made two starts at safety in 2019, but he's played far more snaps on special teams (895) than defense (300) through 51 regular-season appearances.

Bengals' Brandon Wilson: Sitting down Week 14
Wilson (groin) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
Wilson was able to power through a hamstring issue to make his 12th appearance of the season last Sunday in Miami, though Alex Erickson brought back the team's lone kick-return attempt. A groin injury kept Wilson as a DNP all throughout the practice week, however, and now he'll be forced to miss his first game of 2020. Down one of the NFL's most explosive returners for Week 14, Cincinnati will lean on the veteran Erickson.
