  "summary": "The Cincinnati Bengals were reportedly interested in re-signing receiver and returner Charlie Jones before the New York Giants promoted him from their practice squad to the active roster, according to a report by The Athletic's Dan Duggan via Twitter/X. Jones, a fourth-round pick of the Bengals in 2023, had a brief stint with the team, playing in 33 games over his first three seasons and accumulating eight catches for 69 yards. He returned a 98-yard kickoff touchdown for the Bengals in Week 9 of 2025, marking his second career kickoff return for a touchdown. However, Jones suffered a right ankle injury during Week 4 of the 2024 season and was sidelined due to a groin injury from Weeks 9 through 18. The Bengals recently signed Ke Shawn Williams to their practice squad, replacing Jones who had been released earlier in the week.",
