The Cincinnati Bengals project to get active adding to the roster and practice squad with outside names right after final cuts.
Might Terrace Marshall Jr. be a target?
Marshall, notably a second-round pick out of LSU in 2021, will catch the eyes of fans for those reasons. He scored 13 touchdowns as Joe Burrow’s third option after Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson in 2019. The fact he’s still just 24 years old doesn’t hurt, either.
But Marshall is on the outs with Carolina for a reason, too. He’s never caught more than 28 passes in a season and scored just one touchdown, with the fact he can’t make a mid-looking Panthers depth chart something of a red flag.
Tack on the fact the Bengals have at least six wideouts who are roster locks on the 53 and a few more who are worthy of the practice squad.
So yes, the Bengals should probably do their due diligence with Marshall, but other teams will have an interest in him as a 53 member, while the Bengals don’t appear to have the room right now.
Here’s our Bengals final cuts roster tracker.
