Markus Bailey
LB - Arizona Cardinals
This Week Outlook
Availability
The NFL suspended Markus Bailey six games for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.
Fantasy Impact
Bailey has held a special teams role for the Cardinals this season. He will miss the next six games for Arizona.
Bengals seventh-round pick LB Markus Bailey told Charles Davis on SiriusXM that he is 7 1/2 months removed from ACL surgery and that he should be ready to go in time for live training camp later this summer.
Fantasy Impact
Bailey played five seasons at Purdue, recording 301 tackles, 13.5 sacks, and six interceptions. His 2019 ended abruptly after suffering a torn ACL. He had surgery late in 2019 and seems to be recovering well. Bailey is a much needed upgrade to Cincinnati’s weak linebacker corps. He’ll have a great chance to make the team this season even as a seventh-round draft pick.
