Cincinnati Bengals starting safety Geno Stone is week-to-week as he deals with a soft tissue issue, head coach Zac Taylor announced on Saturday.

Stone appeared to injure his hamstring on his third play of Cincinnati's eventual 34-27 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in a preseason game. He stayed in the game for one more snap before calling it a night.

Tycen Anderson and Daijahn Anthony serve as the backup safeties behind starters Jordan Battle and Stone for the Bengals, who open the regular season at the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 7.

Stone, 26, recorded a career-high 81 tackles to go along with four interceptions while starting all 17 games last season.

He has totaled 208 tackles and 12 picks in 68 career games (36 starts) with the Baltimore Ravens (2020-23) and Bengals. He was selected by the Ravens in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
