Bengals Release Veteran RB Zack Moss, Browns Emerge as Potential Suitor
31 Jul
Summary
- Bengals released veteran RB Zack Moss last week
- Moss linked to Browns amid backfield questions
- Moss had 794 yards, 5 TDs with Colts in 2023

In a move that has caught the attention of the NFL, the Cincinnati Bengals released veteran running back Zack Moss last week. This development has now sparked speculation that Moss could be headed to the Cleveland Browns, as they continue to navigate uncertainty in their backfield.
Moss, who played for the Bengals last season, struggled with a neck injury that limited him to just eight games. However, his previous campaign with the Indianapolis Colts in 2023 was a standout one, as he rushed for 794 yards and five touchdowns in 14 games, including eight starts.
The Browns' backfield situation remains a work in progress, with rookie Quinshon Judkins' availability during training camp still a question mark. Meanwhile, fellow rookie Dylan Sampson has impressed the coaching staff with his burst, and the team recently got Jerome Ford back on the field.

If Moss is able to get fully healthy, he could be a valuable addition to the Browns' offense. His ability to both run the ball and catch it out of the backfield could make him a versatile weapon for the team. However, his injury history will be a concern that the Browns will need to weigh carefully as they consider adding him to their roster.
