97 Geno Atkins DT

Atkins had 47 tackles (18 solo) and 4.5 sacks in 16 games this season.

The 31-year-old started all 16 games and played a career-high 836 defensive snaps, but he ended up posting his lowest sack total since 2014. Atkins remains under contract through 2022 and is set for another season as the anchor of the Bengals' defensive line.

Atkins logged five tackles (two solo) and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's loss to the Raiders.

Atkins came into the game under a questionable tag after nursing an ankle injury during the week, but there was nothing questionable about his performance. The 10-year vet sits at 4.5 sacks on the year and will need to pick up the pace to reach the nine he's had at least in each of the last four seasons.

Atkins (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

As expected, Atkins was able to shake off his injury in time. The veteran defensive tackle will keep his ironman streak alive, as he hasn't missed a game since 2013. The 31-year-old has 27 tackles (11 solo) and three sacks this year.

Atkins (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Raiders, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Zac Taylor said Friday that he expects Atkins to play Week 11, but his availability can't be considered a lock. If the veteran is indeed able to suit up, he'll draw his usual start at defensive tackle.

Atkins (knee) practiced Friday and will play Sunday at Oakland, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Atkins was limited as a limited practice participant Thursday due to the knee issue, but coach Zac Taylor said Friday he was just resting and will play Week 12. The veteran defensive tackle has 27 tackles (11 solo) and three sacks through nine games.

Atkins did not participate in practice Thursday due to a knee injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Atkins popped up on the injury report Thursday after logging a full practice Wednesday, suggesting he tweaked something then rather than in a game. His status Friday bears watching, and if the 31-year-old can't play Week 11, Renell Wren could see more playing time.

Atkins had six tackles (four solo) and two sacks during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars.

Atkins had only one sack through the first six games of the season, so Sunday's double-dip was certainly a welcome sight, especially since he went without a tackle in Week 6. The 31-year-old has 25 tackles (10 solo) and three sacks through seven games.

Atkins recorded five tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Bills.

Atkins posted at least nine sacks in each of the previous four seasons. He played 60 of 78 defensive snaps (77 percent) in this contest, and the takedown was his first sack of 2019. Atkins will look to keep on capitalizing in Week 4's game against the Steelers, although Mason Rudolph has been sacked just twice so far.

Atkins (undisclosed) played five defensive snaps during Thursday's preseason loss to the Giants.

Atkins was dealing with an undisclosed injury during minicamp and OTAs and now appears to have recovered. The veteran defensive tackle is locked in for his usual key role along Cincinnati's defensive front.

Atkins (undisclosed) is making progress in his recovery and is expected to be ready for training camp, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Atkins has appeared in 16 games in each of the last five seasons. It's unsure exactly how serious this undisclosed issue is, but it was at least severe enough to keep the 31-year-old out of the Pro Bowl in late January.

Atkins (undisclosed) did not play in Sunday's Pro Bowl due to an injury, WCPO 9 Cincinnati reports.

There's been no word Atkins is nursing a significant injury, but it's not guaranteed that he'll be available for the start of offseason workouts this spring.

Atkins recorded 45 tackles, including 10 sacks, in 16 games in 2018.

Atkins reached double-digit sacks for the third time in his career this past season, highlighted by a three-sack game Week 15. His 45 tackles were up there with many of his best years as well. Atkins will enter his age-31 season in 2019.

Atkins recorded six tackles (five solo), including three sacks, in Sunday's win over Oakland.

Atikins had seven sacks this season entering Sunday's contest, but he'd recorded just one in the last eight games. The performance marks his third multi-sack game of the season and the first three-sack outing of his career. He's now up to 10 sacks on the year. He'll look to maintain his strong play in Week 16 against the Browns.

Atkins had two more sacks in Sunday's win over the Dolphins, giving him six so far this season.

Overall Atkins had three QB hits, a category in which he leads the NFL. He took advantage of the Dolphins' injury-wracked offensive line, which lost its center last week and then LT Laremy Tunsil during the third quarter.

Atkins recorded five tackles (four solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 37-36 win over the Falcons.

Atkins' sack was his fourth of the season. He's one of the better defensive tackles in the NFL and is on pace for the most prolific season of his career in terms of sacks. He'll strive to stack success and keep up the strong play against the Dolphins in Week 5.

Atkins notched five total tackles and two sacks in the Bengals' 34-23 win over the Ravens.

Atkins looked dominant in Week 2, overpowering Baltimore's offensive line and sacking quarterback Joe Flacco twice for a total loss of six yards. The star defensive tackle will look to benefit from a long week of rest before suiting up against the Panthers next Sunday.

Atkins notched four tackles and a sack during Sunday's 34-23 victory over the Colts.

Fresh off signing a lucrative four-year extension, Atkins wasn't at his best Sunday, as the Bengals had trouble generating a consistent pass rush. While the 30-year-old still managed a respectable stat line, he'll now enter a much more difficult matchup in Week 2 against a Ravens offensive line led by six-time Pro-Bowl guard Marshal Yanda.

Atkins signed a four-year contract extension Tuesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

The Bengals now have Atkins under contract through his age-34 season in 2022. He's been the team's best defensive player for the majority of his career, piling up 290 tackles and 61 sacks in 121 regular-season games. The stud defensive tackle is working on a streak of three consecutive seasons with nine or more sacks -- a rare feat for an interior lineman.

Atkins finished the season with nine sacks and 46 total tackles.

Though he was quiet in Week 17 against the Ravens, this was another strong season for Atkins. He has 29 sacks over the last three seasons, which is pretty strong for a defensive tackle.

Atkins had four tackles (three solo) and a pair of sacks in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings.

Atkins played 29 of 67 snaps after logging only 12 in Week 14. The limited snap counts limit the 29-year-old's IDP value, but he was still able to put forth an efficient performance in Sunday's blowout.
