Cincinnati Bengals implement roster changes and manage injuries

The Cincinnati Bengals are undergoing significant roster changes and managing injuries ahead of Week 4. Head coach Zac Taylor confirmed that rookie wide receiver Colbie Young is expected to miss the upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to an injury sustained during the Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In a roster shake-up, the Bengals have added Super Bowl champion tight end Tanner Hudson and former Baltimore Ravens safety Beau Brade to the practice squad. The team also signed rookie safety Isaiah Nwokobia and placed cornerback Jalen Davis on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.

On the defensive side, Taylor addressed the usage of first-round pick Shemar Stewart, noting that while the defensive end did not play snaps against the Steelers, the team possesses significant depth in the pass-rushing unit. Taylor highlighted the contributions of players like Cashius Howell and Stewart as the team continues to develop its defensive rotation.
