According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the 26-year-old running back will suit up for the game, just days after being traded from the Chicago Bears.
Herbert's season in Chicago was lackluster, with only eight carries for 16 yards and a touchdown, along with two receptions for 4 yards. This is a far cry from his performance last season, when he totaled 745 yards from scrimmage, including 611 rushing yards and 20 catches for 134 yards.
The Bengals urgently needed reinforcement at the running back position due to Zack Moss being sidelined with a neck injury. Cincinnati's quarterback, Joe Burrow, has expressed confidence in assisting Herbert on the field, indicating he can provide pre-snap guidance if necessary.
Kickoff for the Bengals vs. Ravens game is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET.
