Elijah Holyfield: Joins Cincinnati's practice squad
The Bengals signed Holyfield to their practice squad Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Samaje Perine tested positive for COVID-19, and Joe Mixon was limited Sunday with an ankle injury, so the Bengals elected to sign Holyfield to add some emergency depth to their running back room. The 23-year-old spent last season on the Eagles' practice squad, but he was released by Philly ahead of the initial 53-man roster deadline.

Elijah Holyfield: Checks in with Baltimore
Holyfield had a workout with the Ravens on Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Baltimore has already dealt with season-ending injuries in the backfield to J.K. Dobbins (knee) and Justice Hill (Achilles), and Holyfield was among the backs brought in for workouts to potentially serve as the team's No. 3 tailback. Even if he doesn't reach a deal, Holyfield could still join the Ravens' practice squad and potentially be promoted later on.
