Matt Lee - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Let go by Cincy The Bengals waived Lee (knee) on Tuesday.

Impact Lee finished the 2025 campaign on IR due to a knee injury but had his 21-day practice window opened down the stretch, so he now appears back to full health. The 2024 seventh-round pick will search for a depth opportunity at center elsewhere in the league.

Ruled out for Week 18 Lee (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact Lee remains on injured reserve and will finish the season there despite having his 21-day practice window opened last week. The 24-year-old offensive lineman hasn't played since Week 6.

Won't return for Week 17 Lee (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Impact Lee's 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, but the center is not quite ready to return to the field yet. The 24-year-old was able to log limited practice sessions throughout the week, but with the Bengals already eliminated from playoff contention, they are likely taking Lee's return slowly and safely. Ted Karras is set to once again start at center for Sunday's game.

Has 21-day practice window opened The Bengals designated Lee (knee) for return from IR on Wednesday.

Impact Lee landed on injured reserve Oct. 28 due to a knee injury. He's now eligible to practice and can be activated any time within a 21-day window, though with the Bengals eliminated from playoff contention, there is only 12 days left until their season ends. Lee had logged all of his snaps on special teams prior to getting hurt.

Moved to injured reserve The Bengals placed Lee (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Lee was inactive for Week 8 against the Jets after a knee injury prevented him from practicing Friday. After undergoing further tests, it's been determined that the injury is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve, which means he will be required to miss at least the next four games. The earliest Lee could return from IR is Week 14 against the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Impact Lee did not practice Friday and will be unable to provide depth at center for Week 8. The 2024 seventh round pick has yet to play this season and has served in an emergency capacity behind starter Ted Karras.
