Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt<\/a> is serving a five-day sentence after being taken from court on Tuesday to the Hamilton County Jail.<\/p>\n

Hamilton County Justice Center records<\/a> indicate the former Park Crossing High School star was admitted to the Cincinnati facility at 11:23 a.m. CST Tuesday and is scheduled to be released on Sunday. <\/p>\n

Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Bernie Bouchard sentenced the Cincinnati cornerback after Taylor-Britt pleaded guilty to charges of reckless driving and driving without a valid license. <\/p>\n

Taylor-Britt\u2019s attorney sought a community-service sentence for his client, then a delay in the implementation of the sentence. Taylor-Britt appeared in court on crutches on Tuesday. He sustained a foot injury in the Bengals\u2019 34-12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Nov. 16 and spent the final seven games of the season on injured reserve<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Bouchard did not impose a fine with the five-day sentence, which the judge termed \u201cgenerous<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a gift,\u201d Bouchard said<\/a>. \u201cFive days instead of 30. He\u2019s got to do them now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor-Britt\u2019s charges stemmed from traffic stops on June 18 and Sept. 14.<\/p>\n

In his final season at Park Crossing in Montgomery, Taylor-Britt passed for 1,466 yards and 16 touchdowns and ran for 1,030 yards and 14 touchdowns to earn All-State recognition as the Thunderbirds quarterback.<\/p>\n

Taylor-Britt made the transition to the secondary at Nebraska, where he earned All-Big Ten honorable-mention recognition as a sophomore and all-conference second-team selection as a junior and a senior.<\/p>\n

A second-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft, Taylor-Britt started 38 regular-season games and three playoff contests in his first three seasons with the Bengals, Taylor-Britt had started two of his eight appearances and played 61.3 percent of Cincinnati\u2019s defensive snaps in 2025 when he got hurt.<\/p>\n

Taylor-Britt is headed toward free agency in March after completing the final season of his four-year, $5.953 million<\/a> rookie contract. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not opposed to it at all,\u201d Taylor-Britt said<\/a> on Monday about leaving the Bengals, \u201cand I\u2019m not opposed to either being here as well. At the end of the day, I think I\u2019m just, you know, move where they want me to move and go succeed wherever.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt is serving a five-day sentence after being taken from court on Tuesday to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":661963,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2053],"tags":[228,227,256,2296,7,6,31185],"class_list":{"0":"post-661962","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cincinnati-bengals","8":"tag-bengals","9":"tag-cincinnati","10":"tag-cincinnati-bengals","11":"tag-cincinnatibengals","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-nflraw25"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115855636862031312","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=661962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661962\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/661963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=661962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=661962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=661962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
