THE Cincinnati Bengals have released a veteran running back early into camp.
The $9 million dollar man struggled with injuries in the 2024 season and didn’t make it out of this year’s NFL training camp.

On Wednesday, the Bengals announced the team was releasing running back Zack Moss.
Moss started training camp on the non-football injury list this season stemming from an injury in the last campaign.
The 27-year-old played just eight games before missing the remainder of the season due to a neck injury.
He ended his season rushing for just 242 yards with two touchdowns.
Moss signed with the Bengals in 2024 on a two-year deal worth $8 million.
However, that deal was restructured to owe Moss just $1.7 million this season.
Releasing Moss leaves the Bengals with $1.88 million in dead cap, but will save the team $1.2 million.
Moss started his career with the Buffalo Bills after being picked in the third-round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
He was with the Bills until he was traded to the Indianapolis Colts in 2022.
Moss spent the next season with the Colts before signing with the Bengals.
NFL fans believe Moss will get another chance on a new team and shared their thoughts on social media.
“Browns might as well pick him up,” one fan said.
“Feel like he’ll definitely end up on another team,” another fan said.
“He will get picked up,” a third fan said.
