The Bengals signed linebacker Joe Bachie to a one-year contract extension on Friday.
The 24-year-old had 30 tackles and made two starts in nine games last season before suffering a torn left ACL.
He's one of the many young linebackers the Bengals are hoping can make an impact in 2022.
Bachie would've become an unsigned exclusive rights player on March 16.
