The Cincinnati Bengals have released veteran running back Zack Moss just one year into his time with the team. Moss signed with Cincinnati ahead of the 2024 season but saw his campaign cut short due to a neck injury sustained midway through the year. In eight appearances, he recorded 242 rushing yards and three total touchdowns before being sidelined.
Moss began training camp on the non-football injury list, and the Bengals opted to part ways as they reshape their backfield heading into the 2025 season. The move clears over $1 million in cap space while signaling a shift toward younger talent. With Moss gone, second-year back Chase Brown is expected to lead the ground game, with support from Samaje Perine and rookie Tahj Brooks. Cincinnati continues to evaluate its roster as preseason approaches.
