Bengals Release RB Zack Moss After Injury

The Cincinnati Bengals have released running back Zack Moss following his recovery from a broken neck suffered in November 2024, which ended his season and raised questions about his football future. Moss, 27, spent months in a neck brace and was ultimately cleared from injury in the spring, but lingering conditioning issues led to his placement on the non-football injury list during training camp. After restructuring his contract, Moss was unable to regain a role on the team, with Chase Brown now set as the Bengals’ primary running back and Samaje Perine and rookie Tahj Brooks competing for backup spots. Moss had rushed for 242 yards and two touchdowns over eight games last year. He is now a free agent and could receive interest from teams such as the Dallas Cowboys. Moss's experience highlights the personal and professional challenges faced by players recovering from major injuries.
