CINCINNATI — Bengals running back Zack Moss was placed on injured reserve Tuesday and will likely be out for the rest of the season, coach Zac Taylor said.
Moss missed the team’s most recent game, a 41-24 win over the Las Vegas Raiders , with a neck injury that was reported late last week. Upon further evaluation, the issue was deemed serious enough to hold him out longer.
“Still gathering more information but it doesn’t look like he’ll back,” Taylor said ahead of practice Tuesday night.
Taylor said early indications show that Moss’ injury will not be career-ending, but more testing is being done. It’s also unclear when exactly the issue occurred.
“I just know late in the week he didn’t feel right,” Taylor said. “So that’s where it ended up.”
In the offseason, the former Colts running back signed a two-year deal worth $8 million. When Cincinnati landed Moss, it finalized the decision to move on from Joe Mixon , who had been with the team from 2017 to 2023 and reached the Pro Bowl in 2021. Mixon was eventually traded to the Houston Texans .
