US EditionBengals Assessing Options at Safety with Starter Geno Stone Sidelined because of Injury
The Bengals are testing backups and may sign a free agent after Geno Stone's soft tissue injury sidelines him week-to-week, challenging the team's safety depth.
- Starting safety Geno Stone suffered a soft tissue injury during the preseason opener in Philadelphia on Thursday, Aug. 7, 2025, and is sidelined week-to-week.
- Amid Geno Stone's sidelining, head coach Zac Taylor said, `Taylor didn’t rule out adding a free-agent option`, as Anderson, Anthony, and Jules compete for safety depth.
- Tycen Anderson has played one career defensive snap and recorded 18 special teams tackles in 24 games, and Taylor said, `I think that's a group that we're looking to make sure we're deep enough there.`
- With Geno Stone's status in flux, backups now contend for a starting role, and Taylor said he likely won't play against the Commanders after full pads practice.
- Heading into Monday night, Zac Taylor wants penalties cleaned up after they made a big difference last week.
