Why a Bengals rookie shockingly left the team mid-camp: 'Two of his passions were colliding'

Cincinnati Bengals rookie Ceyair Wright left the team to reportedly pursue his other passion.

Ceyair Wright, a rookie cornerback for the Cincinnati Bengals, has unexpectedly left the team mid-camp. The primary reason cited is his desire to pursue acting opportunities. Wright, who has several acting credits to his name, is known for his roles in Space Jam: A New Legacy and the TV show Grown-ish. Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor revealed that Wright called him to inform him about his decision to leave the team.

Taylor referred to Wright as "a great kid" in his comments. Matthew McDoom, a rookie also signed by the Bengals, has been brought in to replace Wright, who had previously been released by the Baltimore Ravens.
