JOSH TUPOU NEWS

Joins Ravens' practice squad Tupou (undisclosed) signed with the Ravens' practice squad Monday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.

Impact Tupou sustained an undisclosed injury while playing with the Ravens this past preseason, but Monday's signing likely indicates he's since moved past the issue. The Colorado product could be elevated to Baltimore's active roster at some point this season if the team's interior defensive linemen face injuries.

Reaches injury settlement Tupou (undisclosed) and the Ravens reached an injury settlement Tuesday.

Impact Tupou suffered an undisclosed injury with Baltimore in the preseason and instead of spending the 2024 season on the team's injured reserve, he'll test the open market. The defensive tackle appeared in 14 games with the Bengals in 2023, compiling 19 total tackles (eight solo).

Upgraded to full Tuesday Tupou (shoulder) practiced fully Tuesday, Jay Morrison of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Tupou was limited Monday after missing the previous two games against the Texans and Bills. Tupou plays roughly a third of the defensive snaps on the interior of the Bengals' line and has recorded five tackles (two solo) this season.

Won't play Sunday Topou (shoulder) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 29-year-old defensive tackle was listed as doubtful after recording limited practice sessions both Thursday and Friday, and he won't be able to suit up for Sunday's contest. Jay Tufele and Zachary Carter should see more work on the Bengals' defensive line with Topou missing time.

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.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unable to suit up Sunday Tupou (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 12 Tupou (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Impact Tupou has missed Cincinnati's last four games but logged two limited practices this week prior to Friday's full session. That was his first full participation in a month and a positive sign for his Week 12 availability against Tennessee. Prior to the injury, Tupou played a rotational role along Cincinnati's defensive line and had recorded 12 tackles and one sack across six contests.

Ruled out for Week 11 Tupou (calf) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Steelers, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

NOVEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Tupou (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact Tupou will miss a third consecutive game with a left calf issue. The fifth-year defensive tackle has yet to practice since suffering the injury, but he'll have an extra week to rest during Cincinnati's bye before the Bengals return to action Nov. 20 against the Steelers.

Unavailable Sunday Tupou (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Tupou was seen in a walking boot Monday and was unable to practice this week due to his calf injury. D.J. Reader (knee) is on injured reserve, so B.J. Hill, Zachary Carter and Jay Tufele are candidates to see additional playing time Sunday.

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.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Sunday Tupou (calf) was declared out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Forced out Sunday Tupou (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Tupou recorded one tackle before sustaining a calf injury during the first half. With usual starter D.J. Reader (knee) out on IR, second-year defensive tackle Jay Tufele has stepped in for his first game of the season, per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer.
