Gets another good tackle total
Pratt recorded nine tackles in Sunday's 27-24 loss versus the Ravens.
In a game where Baltimore ran the ball 37 times, Pratt made good on his opportunities to tackle the ball carrier, improving his season-long tackle total to 20 after just two games. He's easily on track to post 100-plus tackles for the first time in his career ahead of Week 3 versus the Rams.

Productive in blowout loss
Pratt recorded 11 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble in Sunday's 24-3 loss at Cleveland.
He was also heavily involved in terms of snap count (64), second only to Logan Wilson among Cincinnati linebackers. His forced fumble came in his team's own red zone when the game was still tied 0-0 in the first quarter, but nothing Pratt could have done would have saved the Bengals in Week 1. He'll continue his quest for his first 100-tackle season versus Baltimore in Week 2.
Staying in Cincinnati
Pratt and the Bengals came to terms Monday on a three-year, $21 million contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
One of the Bengals' key free agents, Pratt is a great keep for the defense. He's started 54 games since being taken in the third round of the 2019 Draft. Pratt registered 99 tackles and a pair of interceptions across 15 starts last season.
Notches career-high 99 stops in '22
Pratt finished the regular season with 99 tackles, two interceptions, a sack and 10 passes defended over 15 appearances. He added 20 tackles and three pass breakups across the Bengals' three postseason games.
According to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, Pratt expressed his frustration with getting subbed out for some third downs during this past Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game, but the fourth-year linebacker still acknowledged that he hopes to return to Cincinnati in 2023. Pratt will become an unrestricted free agent in the spring.
