The Cincinnati Bengals have placed rookie tight end Josh Kattus on the active/non-football injury list, according to the team’s July 25 roster update. The move affects one of the club’s undrafted additions as he begins his first NFL offseason.
Kattus joined Cincinnati after the draft as an undrafted free-agent signing. The rookie arrived with strong local ties, having previously stood out at Moeller High School, making him a familiar name for many football fans in the Cincinnati area.
He also comes from a Bengals-connected family. Kattus is the son of former Bengals tight end Eric Kattus, adding another layer of interest to his path onto Cincinnati’s roster as he looks to earn a role at the professional level.
The active/non-football injury list designation signals that Kattus is currently dealing with an issue not classified as a football injury under league rules. For now, the roster move puts early attention on his status as the Bengals continue evaluating their rookie class and depth at tight end.
