One team’s loss is another team’s gain, and Cincinnati Bengals running back Jacques Patrick was poached by the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday.
San Francisco needed Patrick much more than Cincinnati did, and though the Bengals will be sorry to see him go, he’ll be much more valued on the 49ers roster.
So far in 2021, San Francisco lost starting RB Raheem Mostert to a season-ending injury, and their alternates are either recently injured or recovering from injury.
Taking Patrick from the Bengals’ practice squad was just too good to pass up.
