Stone tallied 81 total tackles and six passes defended, including four interceptions, across 17 games in 2024. Stone signed a two-year, $14 million deal with the Bengals last offseason after recording 68 total tackles and nine passes defended, including seven interceptions (the second-most in the NFL), with the Ravens in 2023. The Iowa product had an underwhelming start to the season, posting just 58 total tackles and two passes defended over Cincinnati's first 11 games. However, Stone helped turn the Bengals' defense around late in the season, managing four passes defended, including three interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), from Weeks 14 through 16. He's expected to remain one of the Bengals' starting safeties in 2025, aiming to build on his late-season success in 2024.

Stone recorded one solo tackle and two passes defended, including one interception, in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Browns. Stone, a first-year Bengal, appears to be finding his groove in Cincinnati over the team's last three games, recording 11 total tackles and four passes defended, including three interceptions, during that span. Look for the Iowa product to try and stay hot, likely starting alongside Jordan Battle in the Bengals' secondary in the Week 17 matchup against the Broncos.
Stone recorded five tackles (one solo) and an interception returned for a touchdown during Sunday's 37-27 win at Tennessee. Stone ran in front of an ill-advised Will Levis pass deep over the middle in the third quarter, and he kept his forward momentum to quickly return it 39 yards for a touchdown and put the Bengals up 31-14. He'll be looking to extend his interception streak to three games in Week 16 versus the Browns.
Stone recorded five tackles (three solo) and an interception in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys. The safety now has a career-high 70 tackles (42 solo) to go along with three passes defensed, including two interceptions, in 2024. Stone has also played on at least 90 percent of the defensive snaps in all 13 of Cincinnati's games this season.
Stone finished Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers with seven tackles (four solo). Stone has played at least 57 defensive snaps in all 12 regular-season games and has logged at least five combined tackles in eight of those contests. The 2020 seventh-round pick is up to 65 combined tackles on the year, which is three shy from matching his career-best output in 2023 across 17 regular-season games with the Ravens.
Stone finished with nine tackles (eight solo) and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers. The starting free safety also played on more than 90 percent of the defensive snaps for the 11th time in 11 games this season. Stone now has 58 total tackles (35 solo) as well as two passes defensed and an interception on the year.
Stone (shin) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Ravens. The first-year Bengal played through his shin injury in the team's Week 9 win over the Raiders, and it now appears he'll do the same Thursday night. Stone has recorded 46 total tackles and two passes defended, including one interception, across nine games this season. He's expected to start alongside Vonn Bell as part of the Bengals' top safety duo in Week 10.
Stone (shin) was listed as a limited practice participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports. Stone has been playing through a shin injury since Week 7, and he finished Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders with four tackles (two solo) while playing 58 snaps on defense. Unless he downgrades to a DNP on Wednesday, Stone should be able to play Thursday against the Ravens. Through the first nine games of the regular season, Stone has logged 46 tackles (25 solo), two pass breakups and one interception.
Stone (shin) is not among Cincinnati's inactives for Sunday's battle against Las Vegas. Stone has been battling a shin injury since Week 7, but he was able to suit up last Sunday against the Eagles and logged 98 percent of the Bengals' defensive snaps. The safety will similarly be able to take the field this Sunday against the Raiders and shouldn't be restricted in his playing time. Stone has tallied 42 tackles (23 solo) and an interception in eight contests on the campaign.
