Ceyair Wright leaves Bengals roster for acting opportunity
Summary

Ceyair Wright has departed the Cincinnati Bengals' 90-man roster to pursue an acting opportunity. The team announced his departure, characterizing it as a difficult decision for the cornerback, who was competing hard during training camp. Bengals head coach Zac Taylor expressed support for Wright’s choice, noting the athlete's potential in football. Wright previously appeared in 'Space Jam: A New Legacy' and has several acting credits. The Bengals maintain his rights if he decides to return in the future, but making the 53-man roster upon his return is uncertain given his undrafted status.
