  • Bengals' Josh Tupou: Missing Week 9

    Tupou (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. The 29-year-old likely suffered a shoulder injury during the Bengals' Week 8 win over the 49ers, and he was held out of practice all week, so it's no surprise that he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest. With Tupou missing time, Zachary Carter is expected to see an increased workload on Cincinnati's defensive line.

  • Bengals' Josh Tupou: Full participant at practice again

    Tupou (calf) participated fully at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game versus Kansas City, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. After missing the last five games with a calf injury, Tupou finally appears to be on track to play again in Week 13. With DJ Reader (ankle) still listed as questionable for Sunday, Tupou could be in line for a major role just as soon as he's back.

  • Bengals' Josh Tupou: Unable to suit up Sunday

    Tupou (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports. Tupou will now miss his fifth straight contest as a result of a calf injury he suffered back in Week 6 in New Orleans. Zachary Carter should continue handling more defensive tackle reps behind starters DJ Reader and B.J. Hill.

  • Bengals' Josh Tupou: Gets walking boot

    Tupou was seen wearing a protective boot on his left foot Monday after suffering a calf injury in Sunday's win over the Saints, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports. Tupou's potential absence in Week 7 against the Falcons would certainly be a blow to the Bengals' defensive line with D.J. Reader (knee) already on IR. If he were unable to play, B.J. Hill, Zachary Carter and Jay Tufele would make up the team's rotation at defensive tackle.

  • Bengals' Josh Tupou: Won't return Sunday

    Tupou (calf) was declared out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Saints. Tupou has played an increased role over the past two weeks after starting defensive tackle D.J. Reader (knee) was placed on IR, recording seven tackles and a sack while playing at least 63 percent of Cincinnati's defensive snaps in each of these contests. Therefore, the 28-year-old's potential absence moving forward would leave the Bengals significantly under-manned on the defensive interior. Tupou's next chance to play will come next Sunday versus the Falcons.

  • Bengals' Josh Tupou: Status uncertain

    Coach Zac Taylor said Sunday that Tupou (knee) will need to be monitored this week, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports. Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Tupou played only five snaps and was on the sideline wearing a hoodie in the second half of Saturday's win over the Titans. He's been dealing with an MCL issue, but he was cleared from the injury report ahead of the game. His participation at practice this week will provide more clarity on the situation.

  • Bengals' Josh Tupou: Part of DL rotation

    Tupou is back after sitting out the 2020 season and is likely to be part of the Bengals' interior defensive line rotation, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports. Tupou is a run-stopper and is projected to be behind D.J. Reader and Larry Ogunjobi, but could be the next man up. Ogunjobi just started practicing this week, allowing Tupou extra reps with the first-team defense.

  • Bengals' Josh Tupou: Tendered by Bengals

    Tupou received a contract tender from the Bengals on Monday. The 25-year-old performed admirably in a rotational role for the Bengals in 2019, producing 27 tackles (14 solo) and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games. He'll likely be retained by the Bengals for another season and once again fill a depth role along the defensive front.

  • Bengals' Josh Tupou: Injures ankle

    Tupou suffered a right ankle injury Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Tupou was reportedly carted off the practice field. The 2017 undrafted free agent played only one game with the Bengals last season and did not record a single tackle. Missing any amount of time due to injury would certainly impact Tupou's chances of securing a role with the team, as the 24-year-old faced an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster even when healthy.
