Entering the league as a 20-year-old rookie made Igbinoghene the youngest player in the NFL, furthermore, his offseason was limited and the preseason games were canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the second game of the season against the Buffalo Bills, starter Byron Jones left after the opening drive with a groin injury, forcing Igbinoghene to cover Stefon Diggs the rest of the game and allowing 8 receptions for 153 yards and one touchdown.
A rash of injuries at the cornerback position, allowed him the opportunity to play in a stretch of 5 games.
In Week 8, he was named the starter and secured a game-sealing interception (first in his career) in the waning seconds of a 16–10 victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers, to go along with 4 tackles and one pass defensed.
He also faced increased competition during the preseason, with the signing of All-Pro Jalen Ramsey, Eli Apple and the selection of rookie second-round draft choice Cam Smith.

[24] He appeared in 5 games as a backup cornerback and played mainly on special teams, only seeing late-game action on defense in a few contests.
After starting cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr. suffered an injury in Week 1, requiring surgery, Igbinoghene took over the starting nickelback role in place of Mike Sainristil, who moved from nickelback to cornerback to replace Forbes.
