Former Wisconsin football wide receiver Kendric Pryor signed a one-year deal with Cincinnati Bengals on Wednesday.
Pryor will make his return to Cincinnati following a 2025 stint on the team’s practice squad. He’s spent a bulk of the previous three seasons on the Bengals’ practice unit, and he was elevated for a pair of regular-season games during the 2024 campaign. In those contests, he recorded one reception for nine yards and two kickoff returns for 43 yards.

During the 2025 preseason, Pryor signed with the Bengals’ practice squad on Aug. 28 after being released from the 53-man roster on Aug. 27. The former Badger snagged one catch for 11 yards during the window.
Before his stint with the Bengals, Pryor entered the 2022 season with Jacksonville’s practice squad.
Pryor will now join a wide receiver room featuring All-Pro wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, Pro Bowl pass-catcher Tee Higgins and Andre Iosivas. Cincinnati will look to return to the postseason for the first time since 2022.
During his tenure in Madison, Pryor played in 53 games with 37 starts at wide receiver. He caught 99 balls for 1,265 yards and 7 touchdowns from 2017-20.
