New Bengals CB Chris Lammons indicted in Las Vegas battery case

An update on Chris Lammons.

New Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Chris Lammons is one of several men indicted by a Las Vegas grand jury on charges stemming from an incident during last year’s Pro Bowl.

Four men, including Lammons and New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara, face criminal charges connected to an incident outside a nightclub on Feb. 5, 2022.

According to David Charns of KLAS, the men face “charges of conspiracy to commit battery and battery resulting in substantial bodily harm” relating to an altercation after an argument.

The Bengals undoubtedly knew about this legal situation still making its way through the courts when they claimed Lammons off waivers before the AFC title game. That move didn’t go official until after the Super Bowl per league rules, but it prevented the Chiefs from re-signing him and elevating him to resume his normal duties on special teams.

The case now has a court date of March 2.
