Sure they knew.  There were several draft sites that had his back injury as a red flag.  Some even had long discussions about it, and not just footnotes.  If the draft sites knew about it, then the Bengals had to and likely investigated it for due diligence.  With that said simulators almost always had him going in round 1 after the 20th pick.  All that leads to not only the Bengals but at least a dozen other teams with concerns about his back.

Contrary to what some fans here think, the Bengals are a professional organization and do vet draft picks.
