CINCINNATI — The Bengals are hosting veteran tight end Noah Fant for a visit on Thursday. The 27-year-old was released by the Seahawks earlier this month. Star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase was asked about Fant's visit. Does he plan on chatting with the former Iowa star?

Tight end Noah Fant, a first-round pick of the Broncos in the 2019 NFL draft, played three seasons for Denver and three for the Seahawks.

McLaughlin was one of the Bengals' top undrafted free agent signings this offseason. He was considered a mid-round draft prospect before his injury, so Cincinnati made him a priority to sign when he was still available after the draft concluded.
