Bengals waive QB Sean Clifford
Our Summary
The Cincinnati Bengals have waived backup quarterback Sean Clifford as announced on Monday. This decision follows the return of starting quarterback Joe Burrow from injured reserve. The Bengals will maintain three quarterbacks on their roster: Joe Burrow, Joe Flacco, and Jake Browning. Clifford, a second-year player, joined the Bengals' active roster from the practice squad on October 31 after Burrow's injury but remained inactive for the last three games as the emergency third quarterback. Originally drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Clifford appeared in two games during his rookie season, completing one pass for 37 yards. He spent the entire 2024 season on the Packers' practice squad before being waived after the preseason.
