3 causes for concern for Bears against Bengals in Week 9
Digest more
Bengals’ 2024 third-round pick has requested a trade ahead of the trade deadline, becoming the latest defender seeking to leave Cincinnati.
Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson has requested a trade ahead of the team's NFL Week 9 game against the Chicago Bears at Paycor Stadium, according to a report from ESPN. Jackson was inactive for the Bengals' Week 8 loss to the New York Jets and the team's Week 7 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jackson's time on the field has been limited to one game this season in the Bengals' loss to the Detroit Lions.
The Bengals have drafted 10 rookies in the top-three rounds of the draft since 2022. Out of that group, DJ Turner is a part of that solution. Dax Hill is a starting-caliber player but is a fourth-year defensive back who hasn’t reached his potential yet. Is anyone else a lock to be a long-term starter on the Bengals’ defense?
