Former LSU Tigers Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase will have a familiar face on the field with them this weekend against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bengals announced they will elevate the former Tigers’ tight end, Thaddeus Moss, to the active roster.
Per a press release from the Bengals
The Bengals today elevated TE Thaddus Moss from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers (standard elevation).
As a practice squad player being elevated to the active roster for the game, Moss automatically will revert to the practice squad on Monday.
Moss joined the Cincinnati Bengals roster in the offseason after one season with the Washington Football Team. Cincinnati claimed Moss off waivers from Washington in April of 2021. He never played a down with Washington after being put on the injured reserve during the 2020 season.
As a member of the 2019 CFP national championship team, Moss caught 47 passes for 570 yards and four touchdowns. He was also a key in the run game as an inline blocker, giving Clyde Edwards-Helaire plenty of room during that perfect 15-0 season.
Burrow was key in bringing Moss to Cincinnati to join him and Chase on the roster.
Joe Burrow on his good friend Thaddeus Moss: "I think he's going to be a big part of this team." Said Moss was actually in town to hang out with Burrow a week before the Bengals signed him.
