The Cincinnati Bengals have acquired running back Khalil Herbert from the Chicago Bears in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round draft pick. This trade comes as a strategic move following the indefinite sidelining of Bengals' running back Zack Moss due to a neck injury. Herbert has struggled for playing time this season with the Bears, being overshadowed by D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson, but brings a track record of over 2,000 yards from scrimmage in his career. The trade provides the Bengals with depth in their backfield and suggests a lengthy absence for Moss. Herbert will support Chase Brown, who recently rushed for 120 yards in the Bengals' victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. This move reflects the Bengals' efforts to bolster their offense as they remain competitive in the AFC playoff race.
