Bengals' Tyler Shelvin: Appears in preseason opener
Rotowire
Shelvin (wrist) played one defensive snap and one special-teams snap during Friday's preseason game against the Cardinals.
Shelvin had been dealing with a nagging wrist injury, so he elected to undergo surgery to correct the issue at the beginning of June. The 2021 fourth-round pick was unavailable for a couple of weeks, but he's since returned to game action and should be good to go for the regular season. In three appearances as a rookie, Shelvin totaled four tackles across 49 defensive snaps.

Shelvin (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Although Shelvin returned to practice in a full capacity Friday, he'll be unable to suit up in Week 11. The defensive tackle has played just four defensive snaps to begin the season, so his absence shouldn't impact the Bengals' defensive rotation.
