White was a sixth-year player who had signed with the Bengals\u2019 practice squad on September 16. He spent the past three games in that role before being released.<\/p>\n<p>The move is part of a continuing series of roster adjustments by Cincinnati amid star QB Joe Burrow\u2019s ongoing recovery from a turf toe injury. Burrow remains on injured reserve. Cincinnati hopes Burrow can return later in the season, leaving Jake Browning as the current starter with Brett Rypien serving as backup.<\/p>\n<p>White\u2019s brief stint in Cincinnati came during a turbulent period for the Bengals\u2019 quarterback group. With Burrow sidelined, the team added both Sean Clifford and White to the practice squad in mid-September to bolster depth. However, Cincinnati has opted to release White to open a spot for other positional needs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/V01ZI3w0KDC_t_nIfKIVCg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTI0MDA7aD0xNjAwO2NmPXdlYnA-\/https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2025-09\/7e69c670-957c-11f0-8d77-4c1e58cafdd4\" alt=\"Bengals' Joe Burrow has successful surgery, now in recovery from turf toe  injury - Yahoo Sports\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The 30-year-old signal-caller has previous NFL experience with the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, and Buffalo Bills. Fans remember White for his breakout 2021 performance against the Bengals. In that game, he threw for 405 yards and three touchdowns in a stunning Jets victory.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the Bengals appear comfortable moving ahead with Browning as their starter and Rypien as the primary backup. The decision to release White suggests Cincinnati may prioritize depth in other positions. They may also explore future practice-squad additions based on injuries and game performance.<\/p>\n<p>The Bengals will aim to stay competitive while waiting for Burrow\u2019s eventual return. As such, White\u2019s release reflects the calculated decisions needed to keep the team\u2019s depth chart balanced through the middle of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n<p>One of those roster moves involved signing defensive tackle Howard Cross III to the practice squad. Recall that the Bengals waived Cross last October 3 after appearing in just one game through the first four weeks of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, the Bengals will try to snap their three-game losing streak when they face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here we&#8217;ll try to look at and discuss how the Cincinnati Bengals released Joe Burrow backup quarterback Mike White.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34837,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[65,73,2208,18],"class_list":["post-34836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cincinnati-bengals","tag-cincinnati-bengals","tag-joe-burrow","tag-mike-white","tag-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
