Bengals were interested in signing Geno Atkins, but he’s still recovering from injury

When the Cincinnati Bengals kicked off their Super Bowl run by beating the Las Vegas Raiders, it came at a cost.

By the time that game ended, Cincinnati had lost Larry Ogunjobi to a season-ending foot injury, and Mike Daniels went down with a groin injury, all while Josh Tupou was still out with an MCL sprain.

Thankfully, the Bengals were able to keep their playoff run going, but not before they had interest in former All-Pro defensive tackle Geno Atkins.

According to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com, the Bengals were interested in signing Atkins amid the injuries at that position, but he still has lingering shoulder issues that could keep him from fully returning to 100% health until later this spring.
