The Cincinnati Bengals are acquiring defensive end Arnold Ebiketie from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for Cincinnati’s 2027 sixth-round draft pick.

The deal adds Ebiketie to a Bengals defensive end group that includes Cashius Howell, who has a wrist injury and is out for an undetermined period. Cincinnati used four defensive ends in its 34-17 Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
