Taylor-Britt appeared in court on crutches on Tuesday. He sustained a foot injury in the Bengals\u2019 34-12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Nov. 16 and spent the final seven games of the season on injured reserve.<\/p>\n<p id=\"H44OWNKYBJEWJBZ32U36LE6D6I\">Bouchard did not impose a fine with the five-day sentence, which the judge termed \u201cgenerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"VV2EUKMHWFA3NFQDKIX3W2PNJU\">\u201cThat\u2019s a gift,\u201d Bouchard said. \u201cFive days instead of 30. He\u2019s got to do them now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"WMG5Q2T2M5GKLGSEFKU6HB3Z7U\">Taylor-Britt\u2019s charges stemmed from traffic stops on June 18 and Sept. 14.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7PIWCQWCARAIVK2CYJGHMR2SDU\">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.<\/p>\n<p id=\"WDOMSIICZ5FG3F2LJJWOKKKZMY\">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.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4Q7N55DWOFGLHKRCDRTHQ3MV2A\">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\u2019s defensive snaps in 2025 when he got hurt.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6IFHT6TSJZEYFHVYYIHTMH7DYE\">Taylor-Britt is headed toward free agency in March after completing the final season of his four-year, $5.953 million rookie contract.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2UANSY6EXRCLZPCTFRXD4I2CFM\">\u201cI\u2019m not opposed to it at all,\u201d Taylor-Britt said on Monday about leaving the Bengals, \u201cand I\u2019m not opposed to either being here as well. At the end of the day, I think I\u2019m just, you know, move where they want me to move and go succeed wherever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charges from traffic stops lead to a five-day sentence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cincinnati-bengals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
