Khalil Herbert will now slot in as Chase Brown's backup. Moss finishes the year with a 74/242/2 rushing line and caught 23 of 27 targets for 187 yards and a touchdown in his most extensive receiving work yet. It's possible he's back next year on a $4.9 million cap figure if the neck isn't a longer-term concern than the next few months. If not, Moss will be a credible backup/committee option in free agency next offseason.
Moss is expected to miss at least the rest of the regular season due to the neck injury that the Bengals discovered late last week, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
