We have elevated LB Joe Giles-Harris and QB Josh Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster for #CINatHOU 🔗: Via @Bengals on X

What happened: Johnson and Giles-Harris were moved from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's road game. The call-up adds one option at quarterback and one at linebacker for game-day decisions.

Why it matters: Johnson's promotion gives the roster extra insurance at the position that touches every snap. Giles-Harris adds linebacker depth without requiring a permanent 53-man roster change.

What to watch: Inactive lists will show whether both elevations turn into uniforms at kickoff. Any additional move at quarterback or linebacker would sharpen each player's expected role.
