The Cincinnati Bengals shook up the running back room Wednesday but cutting last year's Week 1 starter Zack Moss. Moss, who signed with Cincy in free agency ahead of his fifth NFL season, played just eight games (six starts) before eventually having his job taken by explosive second-year ball-carrier Chase Brown.

On Nov. 1 of last year, two days before the Bengals were set to play the Las Vegas Raiders, Moss learned his neck was broken in three places. He spent the next two months in a neck brace. Doctor’s orders demanded minimal movement.

The Bengals officially released veteran running back Zack Moss, clearing a path for rookie Tahj Brooks to fight for RB2.
