CINCINNATI — The Bengals are specifically searching for one spot with an hour to go until the NFL trade deadline. The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported the team is focused on defensive tackle. "The Cincinnati Bengals are searching specifically for a DT," Russini posted on X . "There’s a group of teams also hunting for the same position."

The Cincinnati Bengals acquired running back Khalil Herbert from the Chicago Bears on Tuesday in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Chicago Bears have made waves at the trading deadline the last two years as a buyer. This time they’re selling, sending running back Khalil Herbert to the Cincinnati Bengals. Herbert was seldom used in the first eight games and was hopeful to get a chance to play — somewhere — and that happened as general manager Ryan Poles completed a deal with the Bengals.
