Bengals Elevate Sean Clifford to Active Roster Amidst Quarterback Injury Concerns

The Cincinnati Bengals have signed quarterback Sean Clifford from their practice squad to the active roster, a move made on Friday to provide depth at the position. This elevation comes as starting quarterback Joe Flacco is battling an AC joint sprain, leaving his availability questionable for the upcoming game against the Bears after limited practice this week. Clifford is expected to serve as either the backup or the emergency third quarterback. He initially joined the Bengals' practice squad on September 16 following Joe Burrow's injury and previously played two NFL games with the Packers in 2023.
