Report: Bengals LB Shaka Heyward has fractured fibula
Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Shaka Heyward (50) runs throw an exercise during the second day of preseason training camp in downtown Cincinnati on Thursday, July 24, 2025. Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Shaka Heyward sustained a hairline fracture to his left fibula in Sunday's loss to the New York Jets, NFL Network reported Monday.
Heyward, 25, will be sidelined at least four weeks and could be headed to injured reserve, per the report.
Primarily a special teams player, Heyward sustained the injury during the first half of the Bengals' 39-38 home loss against the previously winless Jets.
Heyward has recorded 10 tackles in eight games this season. Undrafted out of Duke in 2023, he made his NFL debut with the Bengals last season and tallied six tackles and one forced fumble in six games.
Heyward is a cousin of defensive tackle Cameron Heyward and tight end Connor Heyward of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
