Bengals HC Zac Taylor told reporters Monday that RB Zack Moss will be out "indefinitely" with the neck injury that cost him Sunday's game, according to multiple reports. Taylor added that the team will consider "all the possible options" for replacing Moss in the backfield, according to Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Taylor: "It's important to have another guy that can take some of the work off of [Chase Brown]."
It sounds like Moss could be out a while, and that we shouldn't be surprised if Cincinnati trades for a RB before the deadline this week.
Trayveon Williams and Kendall Milton combined to play 12 snaps in Sunday's win over the Raiders. But Brown garnered 100% of the RB opportunities for the game.
That sure seems to indicate the team doesn't particularly believe in either player -- especially considering the Bengals led Sunday's game by 14+ points from 11:27 of the third quarter on.
We'll see where the whole situation goes. But Brown sets up as at least a high-end RB2 the rest of the way -- with RB1 potential.
Moss has one more year on the contract he signed with Cincinnati this offseason, but a small enough dead-cap number ($1.5 million) that he's not a lock to stick around.
Brown's in just the second year of his four-year rookie deal.
