As Joe Burrow continues to work his way back from the strained right calf that has sidelined him for more than a month, the Bengals have bolstered their quarterback room days before the start of the regular season.
The team is set to sign Will Grier, a 28-year-old journeyman who was originally drafted by the Panthers in the third round back in 2019 out of West Virginia, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He will join Cincinnati’s practice squad.
Grier last appeared in an NFL regular-season game as a rookie in ’19. That year, he started two games for Carolina, completing 53.8% of his passes for 228 yards and four interceptions. He has not thrown a regular-season touchdown pass.
