Bengals acquire RB Khalil Herbert from Bears in exchange for Zack Moss for an indefinite period

The trade adds some clarity to the situation for Moss, who coach Zac Taylor said Monday was out indefinitely with a neck injury. The running back is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season, Pelissero and NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo reported Tuesday. The fact that the Bengals traded for a running back further suggests that Moss’ injury is a long-term issue that should at least put him on injured reserve.

Brown remains the Bengals’ top player after setting career highs with 27 carries for 120 rush yards while adding 37 receiving yards and a touchdown in the Week 9 win over Las Vegas. Brown showed he has three-down ability. However, adding a complement like Herbert gives Cincy strength in short-yardage and goal-line situations.

The Bengals will take on division rival Baltimore on Thursday night as Joe Burrow and Co. trying to get back to .500 and push for a playoff spot.
