The Cincinnati Bengals are not expected to pursue free agent Najee Harris despite suggestions he could be a fit. With a solidly constructed running back depth chart featuring Chase Brown and veteran Samaje Perine, the Bengals would need injuries or other complications to consider outside options. Harris, currently 28, had a challenging previous season with injuries, which adds risk to his potential signing. The Bengals may look elsewhere in free agency if necessary adjustments arise during training camp or due to injuries.
