Kwamie Lassiter II honors his late father with first NFL catch

Who says you can’t go home?

For the second time in his two seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, wide receiver Kwamie Lassiter II was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster.

The first time it happened, on November 26, 2022, Lassiter was called up as star receiver Ja’Marr Chase recovered from a hip injury.

It happened again this past week when Tee Higgins was ruled out because of a broken rib. But, what made this call-up particularly meaningful to the undrafted free agent out of Kansas was the team the Bengals would face today - the Arizona Cardinals.
