Akeem Davis-Gaither Latest News
Staying in Cincinnati
Davis-Gaither and the Bengals agreed on a one-year, $3 million contract Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Davis-Gaither had a down year in 2023, recording a career-low 17 tackles while appearing in 13 games. The linebacker will now look to increase his production in 2024, sticking with the team that selected him in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Active against Buffalo
Davis-Gaither was questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup but has been cleared to return to action after missing the last four games due to his knee injury. He had a limited role on defense earlier this year, playing just 13 defensive snaps over the first three games of the season.
Won't play at San Francisco
Despite the benefit of a Week 7 bye, Davis-Gaither will miss his fourth consecutive game as he recovers from a nagging knee injury. Markus Bailey should continue to see limited work in Davis-Gaither's absence.
