Trenton Irwin, a former wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, has signed with the Carolina Panthers' practice squad, as reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. He is anticipated to move up to the 53-man roster soon after being released by the Bengals last week.

During his career, the 28-year-old recorded 46 receptions for 601 yards and five touchdowns across 41 games, with a notable performance in the last two seasons. Irwin will reunite with offensive coordinator Brad Idzik, who previously coached him at Stanford.

The Cincinnati Bengals celebrated a long-awaited victory at Paycor Stadium, defeating the Las Vegas Raiders 41-24. Tight end Mike Gesicki had a standout performance, catching five passes for 100 yards and scoring two touchdowns, marking his first scores since joining the team.

Gesicki's success was partly attributed to wide receiver Trenton Irwin's encouragement before the game. The tight end's impressive performance included a notable 47-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Joe Burrow, showcasing his ability to capitalize on opportunities despite a slow start to the season.

National Tight End Day showcased impressive performances from multiple tight ends, including Mark Andrews, Tyler Conklin, Cade Otton, and Kyle Pitts, who all found the end zone. Meanwhile, Calvin Ridley had a standout game for the Tennessee Titans, catching 10 passes for 143 yards.

The Cincinnati Bengals adjusted their receiving corps due to Tee Higgins' injury, with Ja'Marr Chase stepping up in the slot. Rookie Jermaine Burton also saw increased playing time. Ainias Smith made his debut for the Philadelphia Eagles, potentially impacting the receiving dynamics.
