News around former Cincinnati Bengals players has started to slow down now that the season has started.
Besides our checking in on Trey Hendrickson , now with the Baltimore Ravens , of course.
Other than that, perhaps the most notable former Bengals player news centers on recent draft pick McKinnley Jackson .
Back at the start of September, word broke that the 49ers hosted Jackson on a workout . It was only this week, though, that Jackson actually signed on board with the 49ers' practice squad .
Jackson is a pretty notable former Bengals player at this point. The third-round pick from 2024 never broke through, then asked for a trade last season .
Now, Jackson gets a fresh start and chance to develop elsewhere, while the Bengals move forward with Dexter Lawrence , Jonathan Allen , BJ Hill and TJ Slaton, with Kris Jenkins and Landon Robinson as their own developmental depth.
