Bears trade Khalil Herbert to the Bengals

Running back Khalil Herbert is on to Cincinnati.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Bengals have agreed to a trade with the Bears that will add Herbert to their backfield for the rest of the season. A seventh-round pick in 2025 will go back to the Bears as compensation.

Herbert bolsters Bengals backfield in wake of Zack Moss’ neck injury. Moss missed Sunday’s win over the Raiders and head coach Zac Taylor said he is out indefinitely, leaving the team thin behind Chase Brown.

Herbert has rushed just eight times for 16 yards this season, but had 364 carries for 1,775 yards and eight touchdowns over his first three seasons in Chicago.
