95 Renell Wren DT

The Bengals announced Friday that Wren (hip) will be placed on injured reserve, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Wren appeared in 11 contests in his rookie season, playing a depth role on Cincinnati's defensive line and compiling eight tackles (four solo). He's nursing a hip injury, per Dragon. The rookie fourth-round pick will set his sights on getting healthy in time for offseason workouts.

The Bengals selected Wren in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, 125th overall.

Cincinnati adds some youth to its defensive interior behind Geno Atkins and Andrew Billings. The Arizona State product is a load at 318 pounds with standout athleticism for that size, highlighted by a 118-inch broad jump that shows strength and explosiveness in his lower half. Wren is a run-stuffer primarily, one that won't add much of a pass rush on the interior.
