Bengals Sign Ex-Saints DE Isaiah Foskey to Practice Squad

The reunion with defensive coordinator Al Golden offers a low-risk development path after two sackless seasons in New Orleans.

Overview

  • Cincinnati added the 2023 second-round pick to its practice squad on Tuesday, as first reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
  • Foskey was drafted 40th overall out of Notre Dame, where he logged 11 sacks in each of his final two seasons and left as the program’s career sack leader.
  • He appeared in 27 games for the Saints over two years with 25 tackles and no sacks before his release ahead of the 2025 season.
  • League interest included the Bears and Eagles, with the Golden connection in Cincinnati cited as a key draw.
  • The Bengals have established edge depth with Trey Hendrickson, Joseph Ossai, Myles Murphy, Shemar Stewart and Cam Sample, positioning Foskey as a developmental option who could be elevated if needs arise.
