When a report broke that the Cincinnati Bengals could be buyers at the NFL trade deadline, the focus was on the pass-rush and cornerback positions.
But let’s add an offensive position to the list, too.
After Cincinnati’s Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that the Bengals have either been in touch with other teams about running backs, or discussed how to add another.
That’s actually a pretty bad sign about the new injury to starter Zack Moss, who suffered a neck issue on Friday before the win over the Raiders and was inactive.
The Bengals could look to simply add a running back via free agency or the waiver wire, too. But with it seeming like Moss needs to miss notable time, the team understands that Chase Brown can’t take 27 carries and five catches like he did on Sunday and remain healthy for the entire season.
