CINCINNATI (WKRC) — The Bengals added linebacker Jack Kiser off waivers from Jacksonville on Monday and placed linebacker Swayze Bozeman on injured reserve after he suffered a forearm injury against Miami.
Kiser, a second-year player from Notre Dame, was selected by the Jaguars in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL draft. He appeared in 14 games as a rookie, recording 10 defensive tackles and four special teams tackles.
Kiser spent one game on Jacksonville’s practice squad this season and was inactive for three games before the Jaguars waived him Saturday.
Kiser played for Cincinnati defensive coordinator Al Golden at Notre Dame.
Bozeman was hurt during Cincinnati’s 31-24 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Bozeman broke his forearm and is not believed to be facing a season-ending injury.
The moves come as the Bengals begin their bye week before their next AFC North game at Baltimore.
