Wilcox played 15 of the Bengals' 50 snaps on offense in Monday's 32-13 loss to the Browns, hauling in his lone target for a three-yard gain.
Analysis: Wilcox has suited up for all eight of the Bengals' games this season, but his role on offense has been muted while he's served as the No. 2 tight end behind starter Hayden Hurst. The 25-year-old has cleared 50 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps on just two occasions and has cobbled together a modest 6-47-0 receiving line on the campaign.

Wilcox (ankle) is active for Sunday's season opener against the Steelers, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
Analysis: Wilcox suffered a left ankle injury during the team's exhibition opener and was sidelined for the remainder of the preseason. He was limited at practices all week, but he'll still suit up for Week 1. Wilcox will compete for Drew Sample for backup snaps behind Hayden Hurst, but the majority of Wilcox's snaps will likely come on special teams.

Wilcox (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Steelers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Wilcox suffered a left ankle injury during the team's first preseason game and was sidelined until he returned to practice in a limited fashion Monday. He was limited throughout the week but was listed as a full participant Friday, giving him a chance to suit up Sunday. If available, Wilcox will compete with Drew Sample for backup snaps behind Hayden Hurst.

Wilcox (ankle) practiced Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Wilcox suffered a left ankle injury during the team's first preseason game and has been rehabbing since. The extent of his participation in practice remains to be seen, but even if it was in a limited fashion, it's still an upgrade from the rehab field. Drew Sample (shoulder) also returned to padded practices recently, so both tight ends could be available for a backup role behind newcomer Hayden Hurst during Sunday's season-opening matchup against the Steelers.

Wilcox (ankle) was running on the side rehab field during Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner and Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Wilcox suffered an ankle injury during the Bengals' preseason opener and has remained sidelined since. While his return to running is a great sign, it's unclear when he'll be ready for game action. Drew Sample (shoulder) returned to padded practice Wednesday, so he appears to be a step ahead of Wilcox in his rehab. If healthy, both tight ends are expected to operate as backups to newcomer Hayden Hurst.

Wilcox was ruled out for the remainder of Friday's preseason matchup against Arizona after suffering a left ankle injury.
Analysis: Wilcox figured to see heavy usage before having his left ankle rolled up on in Friday's game as fellow backup Drew Sample was already sidelined due to a knee injury. With the second-year tight end now out as well, Thaddeus Moss and Scotty Washington should see increased snaps against the Cardinals.

Wilcox signed a one-year deal with the Bengals on Friday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Wilcox appeared in 15 games for the Bengals last year, but the majority of his snaps came on special teams. Across 81 offensive snaps, the 25-year-old tight end caught three of five targets for 16 yards. He figures to garner a similar role in 2022, as Cincinnati's tight end room remains essentially the same after swapping C.J. Uzomah -- who signed with the Jets this offseason -- for Hayden Hurst.
Apr 8, 2022 11:26 AM EST
Wilcox secured three of five targets for 16 yards across 15 appearances in 2021.
Analysis: Wilcox appeared in this first NFL action of his career for Cincinnati in 2021, and he's scheduled to become an exclusive rights free agent this offseason. The Bengals could opt to keep Wilcox around and allow him to continue developing in the same system.
Jan 17, 2022 9:43 AM EST
Wilcox was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
Analysis: Wilcox spent the minimum 10 days on the list. He should be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Nov 25, 2021 11:10 AM EST
Wilcox (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Analysis: It's unclear whether or not Wilcox tested positive for the virus, but he'll need to clear the health and safety protocols regardless. C.J. Uzomah and Drew Sample are the remaining tight ends on Cincinnati's active roster.
Nov 15, 2021 2:39 PM EST
Wilcox was signed to the Bengals' active roster Friday.
Analysis: Wilcox, who scored at least two touchdown in all four of his collegiate seasons at South Florida, will provide depth at tight end behind Drew Sample in Week 17 against the Ravens.
