The AFC North is rather busy on trade deadline day in the NFL.
Just a few minutes after the Cleveland Browns traded DE Za’Darius Smith to the Detroit Lions, another AFC North-NFC North trade was struck, this time between the Cincinnati Bengals and Chicago Bears.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Bengals are acquiring running back Khalil Herbert from the Bears, giving the Bengals another option at running back following Zack Moss’ injury.

Agents Samantha Sankovich and Chris Cabott of @EquitySports facilitated the trade, which bolsters Cincinnati’s backfield after Zack Moss’ neck injury.
