Bengals' Josh Newton: Competing for starting role
Newton (hamstring) is expected to compete for the Bengals' starting cornerback role, Chris Roling of USA Today reports.
Newton is seemingly past the hamstring injury that forced him to miss the final two regular-season games of the 2025 campaign. The 25-year-old is competing with Jalen Davis, Ja'Sir Taylor and Bralyn Lux for the starting job.

Bengals' Josh Newton: Sitting for regular-season finale
Newton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Newton will end up missing the final two games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury, and the second-year pro will end the 2025 season with 15 tackles (12 solo) and three pass defenses across 14 games. DJ Ivey will serve as the top reserve cornerback behind Dax Hill and DJ Turner for Sunday's regular-season finale in Newton's absence.

Bengals' Josh Newton: Won't play Week 17
Newton (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Newton popped up on Friday's practice report as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury, which is severe enough for him to miss Sunday's game. He's worked in a rotational role in the secondary, so his absence opens up more defensive snaps for DJ Ivey and Bralyn Lux. With the Bengals eliminated from postseason contention, Newton's last opportunity to play this season is Week 18 against the Browns.

Bengals' Josh Newton: Six starts in rookie season
Newton finished the 2024 regular season with 31 tackles (27 solo) and seven pass defenses (including one interception) across 17 games.
The rookie fifth-round pick mostly contributed on special teams in the first half of the regular season, but he was inserted into the first-team defense following the Bengals' Week 12 bye after DJ Turner broke his collarbone against the Chargers in Week 11. Newton logged 23 tackles (21 solo) and five pass defenses across his six starts, also registering his first career interception in Week 14 against the Titans. Newton should have the opportunity to compete against Turner, Dax Hill (knee) and Cam Taylor-Britt for a starting spot at outside corner during training camp in the summer.
