The Bengals announced four moves on Saturday, including placing CB Chidobe Awuzie on injured reserve. The team is also signing DT Domenique Davis to the active roster and elevating CB Allan George and WR Trenton Irwin.
Awuzie, 26, is a former second-round pick by the Cowboys in the 2017 NFL Draft out of Colorado. He played out the final year of his four-year, $4.3 million rookie contract and tested the market as an unrestricted free agent in 2021.
Awuzie signed a three-year, $21.75 million deal with the Bengals.
He will miss the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL he sustained in Week 8.
In 2022, Awuzie appeared in eight games for the Bengals and recorded 35 total tackles, one forced fumble, and five pass deflections. Pro Football Focus rated him as the No. 25 cornerback out of 111 qualifying players.
