Bengals' Barrett Carter: Season-high 11 stops in Week 4 loss
Carter posted 11 tackles (five solo) and one pass defense during Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Jaguars.
Carter logged double-digit tackles for the first time this season, and his 11 stops were his most in a game since Week 12 of the 2025 campaign (16). The second-year linebacker is up to 30 tackles (14 solo), including 0.5 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble through four regular-season games and has played every single defensive snap in that span.

Bengals' Barrett Carter: Five takedowns in win
Carter registered five total tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 20-6 win over the Texans.
Carter was able to finish tied for fourth on the team in takedowns with cornerback DJ Turner, and one of the former's tackles was for a loss. The linebacker has played every defensive snap with the Bengals this season, and he figures to be on track for a big year if his workload remains that high.

Bengals' Barrett Carter: Surpasses 100 tackles in 2025
Carter notched 106 tackles (53 solo) and four passes defensed, including one interception, across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025.
Carter compiled impressive production for a rookie fourth-round pick, though the actual quality of his play left something to be desired. Though Carter earned an every-down role in defense as a rookie, it won't be surprising if he has to compete this offseason to retain a starting gig, unless he manages to take a substantial step forward in his development.

Carter notched five tackles (one solo) and two defensed passes, including an interception, Sunday in a 45-21 victory over the Dolphins.
Carter tied for second on Cincinnati in tackles in the victory. He was responsible for Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers' first career interception, picking off the fellow rookie in the third quarter. That interception was also Carter's first as a pro.

Bengals' Barrett Carter: Has dud game vs. Ravens
Carter recorded three tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 24-0 loss versus Baltimore.
Carter's tackle total in Week 15 was his lowest since Week 2, when he played zero defensive snaps versus Jacksonville. Granted, his 40 defensive snaps Sunday were the fewest he played since Week 5 versus the Lions (33). He'll look to bounce back in a Week 16 matchup at Miami.
