After the Cincinnati Bengals unveiled their first 53-man roster of 2025, Wednesday marked all their practice squad signings. They can carry up to 16 players on the taxi squad, and only two spots remain open as of now.
Only one player who wasn't with the team throughout training camp and preseason has joined the fold. It's a quarterback, and it isn't local ex-Cincinnati Bearcats star Desmond Ridder.
Check out the first wave of 14 practice squad signings the Bengals just announced.
