The Cincinnati Bengals just gave Joe Burrow everything he needs to succeed after their latest acquisition.
In the hours before the NFL trade deadline comes to a close, the Cincinnati Bengals have brought some help in the backfield after the team traded for Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports the Bengals are sending a seventh-round pick to Chicago in the deal.
This is a good trade for Joe Burrow and company since Bengals running back Zack Moss is dealing with a neck injury and will be out indefinitely. This has left Cincinnati’s running back room thin behind Chase Brown.

Herbert will love this move since he fell out of Chicago’s RB rotation, playing behind free agent signing D’Andre Swift and 2023 draftee Roschon Johnson.

On the year, Herbert only has eight carries for 16 rushing yards and one touchdown.
The Cincinnati Bengals beat the Las Vegas Raiders 41-24 on Sunday, and Joe Burrow dominated the game.
Burrow threw for 251 yards and five touchdowns as the Bengals won their fourth game in the last six weeks to get back in the playoff chase.
Adding A Rushing Attack Just Made Joe Burrow Even More Dangerous
With a healthy Joe Burrow, the Cincinnati Bengals were expected to be contenders in the AFC North.
That hasn’t been the case, as the team is 4-5 at the halfway point. Their four victories have all come against sub-.500 teams.
With the most recent trade for Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert, the running game should be much better, and it will free Burrow up to be even more dangerous as he continues to heat up.
