The Cincinnati Bengals have officially released running back Zack Moss following his one-season tenure with the team, as announced on Wednesday. The decision marks the end of Moss’s time with the franchise, which signed him in 2023 after he was cut by the New England Patriots. Moss, who played in 13 games for the Bengals in 2023, contributed 614 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns, but the team opted to move in a different direction for the 2024 season.
General Manager Joe Burrow will now focus on strengthening the backfield with new signings or draft picks. Moss, who had previously been with the Patriots, was part of a group of players who sought a change of scenery after being released. The Bengals’ decision reflects ongoing adjustments within the NFL, where teams frequently re-evaluate their rosters based on performance and future goals.
