On Wednesday, the team used the waived/injured designation on Tra Carson and signed free agent running back Thomas Rawls.
Carson was injured Monday, which led to Rawls being signed ahead of the team’s Week 3 clash with the Panthers. It’s a bad break for Carson, and hopefully he gets placed on injured reserve if it’s bad enough so the Bengals can keep him. If he’s healthy enough to return soon, he’ll hopefully get signed to the practice squad.
As for Rawls, he was once a rising star in the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Seahawks in 2015.
