Bengals' Cedric Johnson: Improves in Year 2
Johnson tallied 20 total tackles (11 solo), including 2.0 sacks, across nine regular-season games in 2025.
Johnson, a 2024 sixth-round pick from Ole Miss, set career highs in total tackles and sacks while logging 207 defensive snaps during his second NFL season. He missed the first eight games of Cincinnati's 2025 campaign but came on strong late in the year, with all of his sacks coming over the final two weeks of the regular season. Under contract through 2027, Johnson is expected to remain one of the Bengals' top reserve defensive ends next season.

Bengals' Cedric Johnson: Won't return Week 8
Johnson (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Johnson was a full participant in practice all week, but he's not quite ready for game action.

Bengals' Cedric Johnson: Moves to IR
Johnson (calf) was placed on injured reserve by the Bengals on Tuesday, though he was designated to return.
The defensive end appeared in a protective boot at practice in early August and had to use a scooter to get around the locker room, per Ben Baby of ESPN.com. A sixth-round pick of the Bengals in 2024, Johnson made seven tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in nine regular-season games during his rookie campaign. He'll look to solidify a depth role once he's eligible to return after four games this year.

Bengals' Cedric Johnson: Headed to Cincinnati
The Bengals selected Johnson in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 214th overall.
Johnson was a pass-rush specialist throughout his time at Ole Miss. Of his 112 tackles in college, 22 went for a loss and 19.0 were sacks. He's an explosive athlete (91st percentile vertical jump, 81st percentile board jump), so with professional coaching, some of his raw skills could translate to more on-field production.
