News

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Unable to suit up Sunday

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Questionable for Week 12

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

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: Tupou will be unavailable for a fourth game in row Sunday as he continues to deal with a calf injury. He'll now shift his focus to being ready for Week 12 against the Titans.

  • Out again

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

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Tupou (calf) was declared out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Forced out Sunday

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Lands two-year deal

    Tupou agreed to terms on a two-yer contract with the Bengals on Thursday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Tupou has appeared in every game for Cincinnati across the last two seasons, and he'll remain with the team on a two-year pact. The 27-year-old logged 12 tackles (three solo) last year.

  • Full participant

    Tupou (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tupou was held out of Cincinnati's victory over Kansas City in the AFC Championship Game as a result of his knee injury, but he's now back to full health. The reserve defensive tackle can thus be considered fully on track for Sunday's matchup against the Rams in Super Bowl LVI.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Tupou (knee) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tupou played just five snaps during the Bengals' divisional-round win over the Titans before being sidelined with a knee injury. He was limited at each practice this week, but it ultimately wasn't enough to be cleared for the AFC Championship Game. In Tupou's absence, Zach Kerr and Tyler Shelvin are candidates for increased snaps.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Tupou (knee) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Tupou played just five snaps during the Bengals' divisional-round win over the Titans before being sidelined for the rest of the game. He was limited in each practice this week, so his status is still up in the air. If he's unable to suit up, Zach Kerr and Tyler Shelvin would be candidates for increased snaps.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • No injury designation Saturday

    Tupou doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Titans, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Tupou was limited in practice Tuesday and Wednesday after sitting out Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Raiders. However, he was able to put in a full practice session Thursday and will be available for Saturday's divisional-round matchup as a result.

  • Inactive Saturday

    Tupou (knee) will not play in Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Raiders, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: No surprise here, as Tupou was deemed doubtful heading into the game. He injured his knee in the team's regular-season finale versus the the Browns. Thus, B.J. Hill and Tyler Shelvin could see a slight uptick in playing time.

  • Unlikely to play Saturday

    Tupou (knee) is doubtful for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Tupou exited Sunday's Week 18 loss to the Browns with a knee injury and was unable to practice ahead of the postseason opener. B.J. Hill and Tyler Shelvin could see a slight uptick in playing time if Tupou is held out Saturday.

  • Considered week-to-week

    Tupou (knee) is considered week-to-week according to head coach Zac Taylor, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Tupou left the Bengals' loss to the Browns in Week 18 early with the injury and was unable to return. With a short week ahead, Tupou has one less day to recover than usual. If he is unable to play against the Raiders on Saturday, B.J. Hill and Tyler Shelvin will likely see extra opportunity.

  • Leaves with injury

    Tupou (knee) was injured in the Bengals' 21-16 loss to the Browns on Sunday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Tupou was officially ruled out before the game concluded. He'll now work to get healthy, so he can provide depth on the Bengals' defensive line as they head into the playoffs.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Published: Tue, Aug 10 at 10:08pm by Rotowire.com

  • Won't play this year

    Tupou is opting out of the 2020 season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 345-pound defensive tackle made seven starts in his 16 appearances for Cincinnati last season, recording 27 tackles, three TFLs and one forced fumble. The Bengals spent big money to bring in D.J. Reader next to Geno Atkins at defensive tackle, but they could still use a pure run-stuffing specialist like Tupou on the roster. Free-agent options include Damon "Snacks" Harrison and long-time Bengal Domata Peko.

  • Officially rejoining Bengals

    Tupou signed a one-year contract with the Bengals on Friday.

    Analysis: The Bengals tendered Tupou in March and he's now officially returning to Cincinnati. Tupou worked his way into the Bengals' defensive line rotation in 2019, playing the third-most snaps among their defensive tackles behind only Geno Atkins and Andrew Billings.

    Analysis: 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.
