The Cincinnati Bengals are signing quarterback Brett Rypien from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Tuesday, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. With starter Joe Burrow (toe) out around three months after having surgery on his injured toe, Rypien is now in line to serve as the backup to Jake Browning, starting in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings. For more QB depth, Cincinnati added signal-callers Mike White and Sean Clifford to their practice squad on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Rypien will be trying to hold off both White and Clifford in the coming weeks for the backup gig in Cincy. Rypien went undrafted out of Boise State before making his NFL debut in 2020 with the Denver Broncos. He played three years in Denver before joining the Los Angeles Rams as a backup in 2023. Rypien has appeared in only 10 games in four seasons and has made four starts in the NFL.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Riley Leonard completed 15 of his 20 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown and added a 14-yard rush in a 41-14 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Leonard got the start and looked sharp in the contest, finding Laquon Treadwell for a 59-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The Colts used a sixth-round pick on the former Notre Dame QB in this past NFL draft and he appears likely to open the year as the team's third quarterback behind Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson Sr. The Colts will now begin preparing for Week 1 and the Miami Dolphins.
