The Cincinnati Bengals elevated quarterback Josh Johnson and linebacker Joe Giles-Harris from the practice squad on Saturday ahead of their Week 2 matchup against the Houston Texans.
Joe Burrow is dealing with a back injury and carries a questionable designation, but the quarterback said he plans to play Sunday, per Pro Football Talk and Yahoo Sports. The elevation of Johnson gives Cincinnati another option at quarterback in case another signal-caller is needed, per Cincy Jungle.
Yahoo Sports noted the move could result in three quarterbacks being available for the Bengals in Houston.
