The Bengals announced they have elevated QB Kevin Hogan from the practice squad to the active roster.
Roster Update: We've elevated QB Kevin Hogan from the practice squad to the active roster for tonight’s game.
— Cincinnati Bengals (@Bengals) December 21, 2020
Hogan will serve as Cincinnati’s backup quarterback behind Ryan Finley. Afterward he will return to the practice squad without having to pass through waivers.
Cincinnati also placed practice squad CB Brian Allen on the COVID-19 list.
Hogan, 28, is a former fifth-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2016 out of Stanford. He was waived coming out of the preseason and signed to the Browns’ practice squad before being called up a few months into the 2016 season.
The Browns traded Hogan in 2018 to Washington for a sixth-round pick. Washington waived Hogan coming out of the preseason and he was quickly claimed by the Broncos.
From there, Hogan re-signed with Denver on a one-year deal but was among their final roster cuts. He caught on with the Bengals practice squad.
In 2017, Hogan appeared in four games and thrown for 517 yards while completing 61.3 percent of his passes to go along with four touchdowns and five interceptions.
