The Cincinnati Bengals remain plenty active in seeking out defensive help in free agency.
Cincinnati’s latest move on this front, interestingly enough, involved bringing on Margus Hunt for a visit this week ahead of the team’s Week 6 game against the Indianapolis Colts, per the NFL’s transaction wire.
Hunt, a second-round pick by the Bengals in 2013, hasn’t played for the organization since 2016. He spent three seasons with those Colts, then popped up for a few games with the New Orleans Saints this season.
While a slow starter with the Bengals because of how new he was to the sport, Hunt has carved out a nice career for himself as a versatile defensive lineman.
This visit, if not just trying to get some intel on the Colts for this weekend’s game, at least partially comes in response to losing D.J. Reader to injured reserve. The team had previously worked out free agent Xavier Williams and signed him to the active roster, too.
