Rotowire
Kirkland signed a one-year extension with the Bengals on Wednesday.
Kirkland has appeared in just two NFL games since going undrafted out of Washington in 2023. The 26-year-old saw sparse playing time in 2024, logging 13 total snaps (three on offense, 10 on special teams). He'll likely be in line to fill a depth role along Cincinnati's offensive line in 2025.

Bengals' Jaxson Kirkland: Moves to IR
Rotowire
Kirkland (biceps) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Kirkland suffered a torn bicep in Sunday's loss to the Ravens and was not expected to return this season. His move to IR will at least guarantee he'll miss the team's next four games, although he'll likely stay on the shelf until offseason programs begin in 2025.

Bengals' Jaxson Kirkland: Unlikely to return this season
Rotowire
Kirkland suffered a torn bicep in Sunday's loss to the Ravens and is expected to miss the rest of the season, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Kirkland has seen limited action this year, operating as a depth option on the offensive line and seeing work on special teams. His absence moving ahead will likely create an opportunity for a practice-squad elevation or free-agent signing, while Kirkland will likely be placed on IR in the near future.
Kirkland signed a reserve/future contract with the Bengals on Monday.
The offensive guard is healthy again after being placed on the practice squad injured list with a wrist issue Nov. 20. Kirkland signed with Cincinnati as an undrafted free agent in the spring and earned a spot on the practice squad Aug. 30, but he was never elevated to the active roster in 2023.
