Bengals wideouts confident of encore after Super Bowl run

The confidence of the Cincinnati Bengals receivers has carried right on into organized team activities this month

JUNE 8, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Back with Cincinnati Morgan signed a two-year contract with the Bengals on Monday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

Impact Morgan didn't factor much into the team's passing game a season ago, and he likely will serve as receiver depth and a solid special-teams option in 2022. During his first three seasons with Cincinnati, he's tallied five receptions for 29 yards on 14 total targets and has one rushing attempt for three yards. Morgan also finished with 22 yards as a kick returner a season ago.

Set to become free agent Morgan won't be tendered by the Bengals, so he'll become a free agent when the new league year starts March 16, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

Impact Morgan appeared in all 17 of the Bengals' regular-season games last year, but he wasn't a factor during their playoff run due to a hamstring issue. Regardless, he operated mostly on special teams and caught just two of four targets for 11 yards during the 2021 campaign. It's unclear what type of market the 25-year-old wideout will garner in free agency.

If that happens, he could head into next weekend minus an injury designation.

Dealing with hamstring issue Morgan (hamstring) was limited at practice Thursday and Friday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Morgan has missed all three of the Bengals' previous postseason matchups due to a lingering hamstring injury. However, the positive news is that the wideout has finally been able to return to practice, albeit in limited fashion. He's mostly operated on special teams this season, so his status shouldn't impact Cincinnati's offensive game plan.
