Anderson (knee) is healthy again, John Sheeran of AZ Sports reports.
Anderson has fully recovered from a torn ACL he suffered during Week 8 of last season. The 2022 fifth-round pick will now spend the remainder of the summer competing for a roster spot, where he can add value both as a reserve defender and as a special teamer.

Anderson, who suffered a left knee injury in this past Sunday's win over San Francisco, will miss at least four games, meaning the soonest that he can be activated for game action is Dec. 4 against the Jaguars. In seven contests to date, the reserve safety has recorded eight tackles.

Bengals' Tycen Anderson: Cincy bound
Rotowire
The Bengals selected Anderson in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 166th overall.
Cincinnati moved up in a deal with Chicago in order to secure Anderson out of Toledo. Anderson is one of the most athletic safeties in this class. He ran a 4.36 in the 40-yard dash and a 6.64 in the three-cone drill, both of which rate above the 90th percentile at his position. He's not just an athlete, though. Anderson racked up 84 tackles as a junior in 2019 and broke up 21 passes in his college career. This is a good landing spot for him as he'll get to learn behind Jessie Bates and Vonn Bell.
