The Bengals have been busy as they prepare for the last two games of the season.
As the Cincinnati Bengals prepare to take on the Denver Broncos in another must-win game to keep their playoff hopes alive, they have been busy working out a pair of wide receivers and defensive linemen.
#Bengals worked out Ralph Holley, Kalil Pimpleton, Makai Polk, Trevor Reid

Defensive tackle Ralph Holley was an undrafted free agent out of Western Michigan in 2022 and eventually signed with the Toronto Argonauts where he started 12 of the 16 games in the 2024 season. He recorded 22 tackles, eight sacks and a forced fumble.
Offensive tackle Trevor Reid was undrafted out of Louisville in 2023 but signed with the Eagles and the Falcons as a free agent, but was cut by both teams before the season began. He then signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders as the team’s starting left tackle.
Kalil Pimpleton, 5-foot-8 and 175 pounds, was an undrafted free agent wide receiver out of Central Michigan and signed with the Lions after the draft but was waived before final cuts. He was signed to a futures contract by the Giants in January of 2023, but was ultimately waived before the season started. He then signed with the Ottawa Redblacks. In eight games played he caught 45 passes for 715 yards and three touchdowns.
Makai Polk was an undrafted free agent wide receiver out of Mississippi State in 2022. He was signed to the Ravens practice squad but was cut in September and was scooped up by the Giants. New York released Polk after the 2022 season and he was re-signed by the Ravens and then released again. He then signed with the Toronto Argonauts. The 6-foot-3, 197-pound wide receiver finished the season with 61 receptions for 1,024 yards and five touchdowns.
It appears as if all four worked out with the Bengals and left without signing a contract, but stay tuned for any developments that may come.
