The Bengals signed Isaiah Foskey to their practice squad, reuniting him with Al Golden who coached him at Notre Dame. Foskey, 24, was a 2023 Saints second‑round pick and played in all 17 games last season with 25 tackles across 27 career appearances. He visited the Bears and Eagles before New Orleans released him in August. Cincinnati envisions Foskey as a developmental edge behind a veteran‑heavy rotation that includes Hendrickson, Ossai, Sample and Murphy.

Analyst notes pegged Foskey with clear upside and potential Ngakoue‑like traits if he sharpens rush hands and anchor. The move fits Cincinnati’s pattern of adding young, talented players to the D, banking on coaching and reps to unlock a higher ceiling in Golden’s aggressive defense.
