The Bengals re-signed quarterback Sean Clifford to the practice squad, the team announced Tuesday.

Cincinnati waived Clifford from the active roster on Monday, and he cleared waivers.

The Bengals have Joe Burrow returning from injured reserve, and after his activation, the Bengals will have Burrow, Joe Flacco and Jake Browning on the active roster.

Clifford, a second-year player, signed to the active roster off the practice squad on Oct. 31 after Burrow's injury. He was inactive for the past three games as the designated emergency third quarterback.

He entered the NFL as a fifth-round pick of the Packers in 2023. Clifford spent his rookie season on the Packers’ active roster and appeared in two games, completing one pass for 37 yards.

Clifford then spent the entire 2024 season on Green Bay’s practice squad before the Packers waived him out of the preseason this summer.

The Broncos have agreed to a four-year, $48 million contract extension with starting center Luke Wattenberg, Mike Klis of 9News reports. The contract guarantees him $27 million.

Kicker Wil Lutz signed a three-year extension on Monday.

Wattenberg, a fifth-round pick in 2022, started only one game in his first two seasons. He won a training camp competition for the starting center competition in training camp in 2024.

He started 13 games last season and has started 11 this season.
