Bengals Still Seeking Another Running Back, per Report
The Bengals’ backfield will see changes next season after trading veteran Joe Mixon to the Houston Texans. He will be replaced by Zack Moss and second-year back Chase Brown, with Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans also on the roster.
Bengals’ Interest in Adding a Third-Down Back
According to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, the Bengals are still looking for another running back, particularly a third-down specialist like Samaje Perine, who left for the Denver Broncos last offseason. The Bengals have yet to find a suitable replacement.
From Dehner:
“The shift from Joe Mixon to Zack Moss and Chase Brown aims to enhance explosiveness and versatility. However, the Bengals feel they need one more player for third-down situations. Moss could fill the role, but Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans need competition. Perine excelled in 2022 (and could return if Denver releases him), but the Bengals haven’t replaced him.”
