Bengals add new QB to practice squad after losing Will Grier

Cincinnati had signed Sinnett when Joe Burrow injured his calf muscle in training camp, but they cut the former XFL quarterback and did not immediately sign him to their practice squad. A few weeks later, they are bringing him back.

The Bengals are trying to figure out their depth at quarterback.

Burrow in Week 2 tweaked the calf muscle that caused him to miss time in training camp. The Bengals are unsure if Burrow will be available for their Monday night game against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3. On Thursday, they also lost practice squad quarterback Will Grier, who was signed to the New England Patriots’ roster.

Cincinnati currently has Jake Browning behind Burrow on their depth chart, and now Sinnett as their QB3 on the practice squad. If Burrow cannot play in Week 3, Cincinnati would likely need to add Sinnett to the active roster, otherwise their only backup to Browning might be running back Joe Mixon.
