Kendric Pryor - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Signed to Cincy's practice squad The Bengals signed Pryor to the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Pryor was cut by the Bengals at the end of training camp in late August but will get another shot with the team on the practice squad. He appeared in two regular-season games for Cincinnati in 2024, playing 24 snaps (19 on offense, five on special teams) and logging one catch for nine yards and 43 kick return yards. Pryor is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster if there is an injury to the Bengals' wide-receiver corps or return unit.

Waived by Bengals The Bengals waived Pryor on Tuesday.

Impact Pryor entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2022, and he finally made his NFL debut in 2022, suiting up in two games and catching one pass for nine yards. The Wisconsin product has experience as a returner, so he could be a fine option for the Bengals' practice squad.

The Bengals must win Saturday in order to have any chance of making the playoffs.

Out for divisional round Pryor (shoulder) is listed as inactive for Saturday's AFC divisional-round game against the Chiefs.

May remain out for divisional round Pryor (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact Pryor popped up with a shoulder injury ahead of last Saturday's wild-card win over the Chargers, ultimately leaving him sidelined for the contest. It's possible the undrafted rookie could now be ruled inactive for the second week in a row, as he was limited during each practice heading into this Saturday's playoff tilt. Pryor has yet to make his NFL debut since being claimed off waivers by Jacksonville on Aug. 31. However, with veteran Jaguars wideout Jamal Agnew (shoulder) also considered questionable to play, it's possible the team could be left with just four available receivers for the divisional round versus Kansas City.

Limited Tuesday Pryor (shoulder) was a limited participant during Tuesday's practice.

However, Pryor didn't see the field at all during the regular season, so even if he is healthy, it seems unlikely he'll be added to the mix in the playoffs.
