Petrigilia has a deleted tweet from 11:53 AM EST:



Petraglia is at Bengals practice watching Burrow right now, so when he says "Here", he must mean there?

I'll take it... he played good in the XFL.

Can win you a game or two if needed...

[Housh]

I’d trust him to win a game or 2

AJ McCarron on HTPG about a potential return: “I can’t tell you how many times our family has talked about it, just going back to Cincinnati and how awesome it would be to end my career there or retire a Bengal. I loved our time in Cincinnati.”

Say what?

Wow don't mind this decision. I think he is a solid backup guy.

[Bengalion]

Didn't know he was still in the NFL. It seems that he spent some time playing in the XFL after being released by the Falcons in 2021.

He wasn't this would be his return.

Contingency option ?

Jake Browning would need a Backup if Burrow doesn't play at all.

If Browning plays poorly versus the Rams then McCarron plays the next week ? ?

If Burrow starts versus the Rams but Browning has to come in the game as the backup and plays poorly; then McCarron maybe

starts the next week ? ?

not as intriguing as AJ, but Trace McSorley is also here trying out

[Destro]

Should be looking in the XFL for some linemen

Rapoport is usually fairly accurate with Bengals news

The #Bengals are signing FA QB AJ McCarron to their practice squad, source said. Some starting experience on the roster in case Joe Burrow (calf) can't go.

I'd say no to McCarron just so we don't have to continue to hear that stupid nickname.

Officially back in cincy, welcome home king

Arms Benedict?  

I'm sure the impending creeper comments about his wife will be an effective distraction from the nickname

Who said you can never go home?

Thomas Wolfe wrote words to that effect, but I doubt he was a big football fan.

Have you considered if AJ McCarron is a Thomas Wolfe fan?
