Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt is serving a five-day sentence after being taken from court on Tuesday to the Hamilton County Jail.
Hamilton County Justice Center records indicate the former Park Crossing High School star was admitted to the Cincinnati facility at 11:23 a.m. CST Tuesday and is scheduled to be released on Sunday.
Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Bernie Bouchard sentenced the Cincinnati cornerback after Taylor-Britt pleaded guilty to charges of reckless driving and driving without a valid license.
Taylor-Britt’s attorney sought a community-service sentence for his client, then a delay in the implementation of the sentence. Taylor-Britt appeared in court on crutches on Tuesday. He sustained a foot injury in the Bengals’ 34-12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Nov. 16 and spent the final seven games of the season on injured reserve.
Bouchard did not impose a fine with the five-day sentence, which the judge termed “generous.”
“That’s a gift,” Bouchard said. “Five days instead of 30. He’s got to do them now.”
Taylor-Britt’s charges stemmed from traffic stops on June 18 and Sept. 14.
In his final season at Park Crossing in Montgomery, Taylor-Britt passed for 1,466 yards and 16 touchdowns and ran for 1,030 yards and 14 touchdowns to earn All-State recognition as the Thunderbirds quarterback.
Taylor-Britt made the transition to the secondary at Nebraska, where he earned All-Big Ten honorable-mention recognition as a sophomore and all-conference second-team selection as a junior and a senior.
A second-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft, Taylor-Britt started 38 regular-season games and three playoff contests in his first three seasons with the Bengals, Taylor-Britt had started two of his eight appearances and played 61.3 percent of Cincinnati’s defensive snaps in 2025 when he got hurt.
Taylor-Britt is headed toward free agency in March after completing the final season of his four-year, $5.953 million rookie contract.
“I’m not opposed to it at all,” Taylor-Britt said on Monday about leaving the Bengals, “and I’m not opposed to either being here as well. At the end of the day, I think I’m just, you know, move where they want me to move and go succeed wherever.”
