The Cincinnati Bengals are bolstering their running back room.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the Bears are trading running back Khalil Herbert to the Cincinnati Bengals for a 2025 seventh-round pick.
Bengals running back Zack Moss missed Sunday’s game against the Raiders with a. neck injury and it’s being reported that Moss is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
The trade marks only the second time the Cincinnati Bengals have acquired a player during the season since 1973.
Herbert, 26, was a sixth-round pick by the Bears in the 2021 NFL draft, and is in the final year of his contract before becoming a free agent.
He was a fairly significant part of the Chicago offense over his first three seasons, registering over 100 carries each year and compiling a total of 1,775 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns to go along with 43 receptions for 287 yards and two more scores.
