TrendWilson by season (regular + post)
| Season | Team | GP | Tackles | TFL | Sacks | PD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | CIN | 10 | 23 | 4 | 1 | 3 |
| 2021 | CIN | 17 | 72 | 9 | 1 | 7 |

| 2025 | CIN | 8 | 18 | 0 | 0 | 4 |
| 2025 | DAL | 7 | 15 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Wilson's arc in Cincinnati was the 2021 Super Bowl run (17 games, 72 tackles, 7 PDs) and the 2022 follow-up (career-high 85 tackles across 18 games including playoffs). Then a 2024 injury-shortened year and a midseason 2025 trade to Dallas — he was on the Bengals through Week 9, then on the Cowboys from Week 11 on.
Tackles per season
| Season | Tackles |
|---|---|
| 2020 | 23 |
| 2021 | 72 |
| 2022 | 85 |
| 2023 | 63 |
| 2024 | 48 |
| 2025 (CIN+DAL) | 33 |
2022 was the apex: 85 tackles, 8 QB hits, and an 18-game playoff slate as a Super Bowl-LVI runner-up follow-up.
MilestoneThe 2022 season was the busiest of his career: 85 total tackles, 8 QB hits, 2.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles across an 18-game span that included the AFC Championship run. He was the Bengals' green-dot LB, calling defensive signals as a 3rd-year player.
That year produced his career-high in both pressure metrics (8 QB hits) and forced fumbles tied for career-high (2 FFs).
After 5 seasons as Cincinnati's defensive QB, he was traded to Dallas mid-2025 — first non-Bengals snaps of his career.
Anomaly2025 split — Bengals vs Cowboys
| Stretch | GP | Tackles | PD | FF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CIN (W1-W9) | 8 | 18 | 4 | 0 |
| DAL (W11-W18) | 7 | 15 | 1 | 1 |
From 2020-2024 Wilson was a one-team player — 73 regular-season games for Cincinnati, all of his playoff snaps with them. The 2025 trade to Dallas (effective Week 10) is the first time he wore a different jersey.
The production has been comparable in both stints of 2025: 2.25 tackles per game in CIN, 2.14 per game in DAL. The Cowboys got a productive veteran ILB to plug into their defense for the second-half push.
Career: 324 tackles, 23 TFL, 5.5 sacks, 29 PDs across 88 games.
SplitAcross 6 seasons of regular-season + playoff work, Wilson has accumulated:
- 324 total tackles (3.7 per game) - 23 tackles for loss - 5.5 sacks - 29 pass defenses — strong for an off-ball LB; he's covered the middle as well as run-stopped - 9 forced fumbles
The PD rate (0.33 per game) is what separates him from a typical thumper — Wilson has been a coverage LB who can drop into the hook zones and bat down throws.
2024 was the down year (48 tackles in 11 games, 0 sacks) — a clear injury-tied dip before the 2025 reset.
ComparisonAfter 85, 63 tackles in 2022-23, the 2024 line (48 tackles, 0 sacks, 1 PD across 11 games) was a clear injury-affected dip. He missed time and was a shell of the 2022 version.
The 2025 split — even with the trade — settles at 33 total tackles, 5 PDs, 1 FF in 15 games. The drop in volume vs his 2022 peak suggests reduced snap counts after the trade, but the underlying coverage productivity (5 PDs in 15 games) is closer to his Cincinnati prime.
