The Cincinnati Bengals today have placed defensive end Khalid Kareem on the Reserve/Injured list. In a corresponding move, they’ve re-signed wide receiver Mike Thomas.
Kareem, a second-year player out of Notre Dame, was originally a fifth-round pick by the Bengals in the 2020 NFL Draft and played in all 16 games as a rookie. He suffered a shoulder injury earlier in the offseason and missed a few weeks of training camp and the first two weeks of the preseason because of his ailment. He did end up playing in the preseason finale, but re-aggravated his injury after just 11 snaps.
