- Bengals acquire Kiser on waivers
Jack Kiser is reuniting with his former defensive coordinator at Notre Dame, Al Golden.
The Cincinnati Bengals claimed Kiser on waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday.
Kiser originally was a fourth-round draft pick of the Jaguars in 2025. He was waived by the Jaguars ahead of Sunday's Week 5 game against Philadelphia in London.
Kiser didn't make the Jaguars' initial 53-man roster this year after suffering a knee injury which cost him to miss most of training camp. He signed with the active roster following Week 1 but was inactive the next three weeks before being waived ahead of the London game. The former Pioneer and Notre Dame star has yet to play a snap on defense or special teams this season.
The Bengals needed help at linebacker with Swayze Bozeman heading to IR and no linebackers on the practice squad.
The Bengals (3-2) have a bye week before they travel to Baltimore on Oct. 25.
